AITA for expecting a full refund (rather than the 90{39ca6eb452c0ce4419cd73a8f3bd18a23fe95ab4febb092bc2ab1b542eeea82f} one offered) from our wedding photographer?
HERE’S HOW REDDIT BLEW UP AFTER HEARING THIS – PEOPLE COULDN’T BELIEVE IT.
After reading through the Reddit comments, it’s clear that many sympathize with the photographer’s unfortunate situation but also feel that the couple deserves a full refund since they never received the final product. Most commenters agree that while the photographer’s time and effort are valuable, the contract likely hinged on delivering photos, which he cannot provide. Several suggest that the couple could accept the partial refund but still negotiate for the full amount or seek small claims court if necessary.
In my opinion, this is a tough spot for both parties. The photographer genuinely suffered a devastating loss, and it’s understandable he wants compensation for his work. However, from the couple’s perspective, paying $2000 for no photos feels unfair. Ideally, both sides find a middle ground—perhaps a full refund could be issued once insurance claims are settled or some alternative compensation offered. Ultimately, clear communication and empathy on both ends will be key in resolving this fairly.
