A person’s wedding day is one of the most important days of their entire life and it is only natural that they would want to document the special day through photographs and videos. Wedding photographers are assigned this task who dedicate their time, effort, and editing skills to giving their clients a lifetime of memories in an album.
A guy named Lance Romeo did so too after he was called to photograph the wedding of a woman from Durban, South Africa, in 2019. However, 4 years later, the woman is now divorced. So, she got in touch with the photographer and demanded a refund because the wedding photographs are useless now. Imagine!
The photographer took to Twitter to share the screenshots of their conversation on WhatsApp.
“Well, I’m now divorced, and those pictures — I and my ex-husband don’t need them anymore. You did a wonderful job on them, but they went to waste as we are now divorced. I will need a refund of the amount we paid you because we don’t need them anymore,” the woman wrote.
At first, the photographer thought she was just pulling off a prank on him. But later when he realised she was being serious, he respectfully declined. But the woman didn’t budge. She decided to involve lawyers so she could at least get 70% refund of the total fees.
She then expressed the desire to meet him in person and talk about the issue, but the photographer firmly said no and told her to ask the lawyers to get in touch with him.

As his tweets went viral and spread like wildfire on social media, with innumerable people sharing the screenshots and ridiculing the woman, the ex-husband of the woman reached out to the photographer.
It turns out that it was the husband who had paid the photographer initially for the event, and the wife was the one asking for the refund! He said that he would handle the situation.
