I read somewhere that he borrowed someone else's portfolio and passed it off as his own. Don't know how true that is but still....shocking!

That’s incredible, how on earth do they have the nerve to show up, I bet the guest’s shots were better! And of all coincidences It’s just about to be shown on the news (Australian), As a big story here!
So it’s hot off the press!! This might put the cat amongst the pigeons!

on one of the news shows tonight they showed the video that he took as well, He fell over as she was walking down the isle, didnt get her getting out the limo and made the driver go around the block and he filmed the driver opening the door to an empty limo, he filmed while running down the road chasing the carrige (alot of nice pavement shots in that one)

Makes me wonder how many other photographers have law suits coming their way, it has certainly opened a can of worms

This is at least the third instance of this story popping up on DPS.

this should now be a lesson for couples hiring photographers. check carefully the credibility of the photographer.

also, a lesson for photographers, to do their best in every way possible regardless of the situation.

This is a quote I received not long ago. It is not exactly about photographers but the implications are clear and can be easily induced:

The original is in Spanish:

'Como la velocidad de la luz es mayor que la del sonido, ciertas personas parecen brillantes antes de que escuchemos las pelotudeces que dicen.'

My free translation goes:

"Since the speed of light is way faster that that of sound, some people seem bright way before we listen to the rubbish they have to say"
