Court backs couple over bad wedding video
By QMI Agency

A British couple have won a court battle against their wedding videographer for producing a video that failed to capture the iconic moments of their big day and instead featured footage of guests' feet.

Martin and Heidi Shubrook were overcome with emotion when they watched their wedding day video, U.K. newspaper the Daily Mail reports.

"When we got the disk back from him I knew it was going to be awful," Heidi Shubrook told the newspaper. "When it first came on it had pictures of people's feet on the floor and then there was shots of people who weren't even at our wedding.

"It wasn't edited at all, the only thing he had done with the video was to fade it in and out. I was in tears watching it back."

On their wedding date in July 2009, they say the videographer went missing and had to be chased down by their wedding co-ordinator, who found him at the nuptials of someone else.

The Shubrooks, who live in Harlow, Essex, were so displeased with their wedding film they took videographer Clayton Bennett to small claims court for breach of contract.

A judge decided in their favour and ordered Bennett to pay them 600 British pounds and 150 pounds in court costs and travel expenses, according to reports. They had initially paid him 350 pounds for his services.

Bennett has since declared himself bankrupt and told the Daily Mail he has agreed to pay the Shubrooks back in 20-pound monthly instalments.
