Delivering Wedding Photographs One Year Later!

It was never my choice and I certainly never would advocate for something like this but I’m afraid we do have some bad apples in the wedding industry.

I was hired by NJA Media in 2022 to shoot several weddings and there was always some difficulty in getting payment but I remained professional and kept the work flowing.
I arrived at Hanbury Wedding Barns in Derbyshire for the marriage of Luca and Sonia.
Their wedding was so fantastic and full of entertainment, with plenty of action for me as a photographer. I made some of my best work at this wedding and loved the opportunities.

The lady that ran NJA Media was slowly crashing behind the scenes and her business was becoming unable to deliver their services and stopped paying their suppliers, which included myself. I’d done all the work and only been paid a small deposit.
I was contacted by Chris who created their wedding film to ask if I’d managed to get paid, as he had experienced the same situation but Chris did give me the contact details for Sonia.

I wasted no time by texting Sonia to let her know that I was the photographer and I had her photographs safe, so not to worry.

Sonia and Luca were so relieved because Nyala from NJA Media had completely disappeared and wouldn’t even answer the courts following the Giorgio’s case against NJA Media.
In the end Sonia and Luca won their case but Nyala had disappeared and now rests with a CCJ, which is a shame because she had a good opportunity with NJA Media.
However, the case was settled but no financial compensation could arrive for the estranged couple.

Luckily NJA Media had hired a good photographer with a good moral compass! In I fly to the rescue and arranged to give Sonia and Luca their long awaited wedding photographs.

After waiting for a whole year to get their wedding photographs, they finally received them yesterday and I was so happy to be able to give them their sweet memories and now they can live happily ever after.
