Glad to hear that he is being sued. Unfortunately one of our couples we’re victims and may not even get their raw footage back. He was using another name at the time – InFocus Wedding Films. So terrible….

For awesome wedding photographers please check craigslist. It always gives me a good laugh.

Sadly with amateurs tossing around buzzwords, and endless tutorials on how to trick people into thinking you’re not completely terrible, prices have been driven so low in many markets that you need to work 120 hour weeks to break even. While this situations seems to clearly be a scam, you get what you pay for. If the couples looking to book these jerks were searching for “cheap wedding videography”, they’re partially to blame.
I had someone find me using exactly that search (why, I have no idea), spend less than 60 seconds on the site, then emailed asking for cheap work. I told them I’d be happy to shoot and edit their wedding for the $800 “offered”, but the discount comes with not receiving any product for up to 24 months after the wedding. That’s the “when I have time” package.

“capture your special day and turn it into something you will never forget”

At least he was honest.

I see a red flag when there is a misspelled word or a lack of grammar in marketing materials of companies. It screams ‘not professional’ to me.

I know this is a bit tangential, but I totally go out of my way to avoid doing business with companies who use awful typefaces. Those faux-scripts, comic sans, cheesy grunge fonts, etc. Choice of typeface definitely says a lot about your company!

That’s hilarious, I worked with a company that used the same crappy font and they were just as shady. Stupid criminals with bad font taste.
