Choose Your Cameraman Wisely!


This is a one of kind strange news. Every bride and groom really want to cherish the memories of their wedding day. But sometimes, they end up with just loads of crap. This is exactly what happened with Martin Shubrook (34) and his wife Heidi (29) on their wedding day in 2009.

They hired Clayton Bennet to record their wedding celebrations but were shocked to see the results. Firstly, they were not happy to see how he had arrived at their wedding looking really messy wearing inappropriate clothes for the occasion. But then he was missing for more than half of the day.

The video they got did not have any of the key moments like the signing of the register, the cutting of the cake, the speeches and the first steps out of the church by the newlyweds. In fact, the camera was left on the grass for the longest time, which is why there was lots of grass in the video. The footage mostly featured the feet and backs of the guests. Their faces were hardly shown. Amazingly, the footage also had people who were not present at the wedding. Now how did he manage to do that?

After looking at the results, the couple took Clayton to the court to demand their money back. They thought his experience in photography and video services was quite impressive but they were proved wrong. The couple won the case but Clayton has not paid them the money back as per the court orders as yet.

Now this is really is bad news. I feel sorry for the couple. You plan so much for your wedding day and your wedding video consists of grass. That is just SAD! Always choose credible photographers and professionals for the important occasions of your life.
