Ink Blotches Photography

My wife and I booked Tia Jenkins for our wedding in September 2019. After the wedding, she ghosted us for months (which unfortunately seems to be happening to many other people as well), and we only received the photos from her after we began pursuing legal action. I'm not one to be negative, and all the other vendors, our videographer, and our DJ were all amazing. Tia, however, was not. She wasn't a great communicator at first, and often we'd have to reach out multiple times to confirm specific arrangements for the wedding photography, as she wouldn't respond. On the day of the wedding, she was on time, courteous, and professional. We also paid for a second photographer but she did not bring one, but at the time we decided to let it pass. She confirmed that we'd receive the photos in 4-6 weeks, and she sent us several sneak peek pictures. That's where things went south. After six weeks, we reached out to her very courteously. She promised them soon, and dates came and went. I told her we were flexible, and just needed a timeline, but then she ghosted us entirely. After 2.5 months of having absolutely zero response from her, my wife and I hired a lawyer and began pursuing legal action against her. Upon learning of the legal action, Tia finally responded to my text message and uploaded the photos, which we received. The photos were technically very good, though she did no editing. I'm not a lawyer and can't give legal advice. However, if you are the victim of a breach of contract, you could consider hiring a lawyer, filing a claim in small claims court, filing an injunction, or contacting the Missouri Attorney General Consumer Protection Division as this falls under the MMPA.
