Sometimes the lord sees fit to deliver fair and just interventions.
Great story. I just love Karma.
That story is huge around here. I am all for it. They destroyed her business for no reason. Fuck’em.
Photographers from the studio shot the wedding ceremony that October, and the studio sent the couple proofs the next month, according to court records.
“She posted those all over social media,†Polito said.
Oh, kinda posting your race photos without paying for them
The Moldovans haven’t commented on the verdict, which they can still challenge. Neely Moldovan did not mention it to her thousands of followers in her latest blog post, which concerned post-pregnancy pore troubles.
Maybe, if they can’t pay $1M, the photog can go all Rumpelstiltskin on they ass:“Can’t pay? After destroying my livelihood? I’ll just take the baby, then”

Many photographers don’t mind that b/c the proof usually has a prominent mark of the photographer on it. It is free advertising.
good point

I took that part to mean that it showed she was not unhappy with the photos.
She was happy with the photos. She just took forever to pick the photos she wanted and in the mean time forgot about a charge. While discussing the charge with the studio her and her husband were calling news station talking about how their photos where being held hostage and using their blogs and the blogs of friends to flame the studio. The emails showed that during this time the studio was going to wave the fee and the problem was solved. The couple continued with fake 1 star reviews on Yelp and the like. They burned the business to the ground because they didn’t review their contract. Fuck’em.
If she wins an award and it is subsequently held up on appeal can she get a charge placed againt their assets?
If the photographer’s judgment withstands appeal, then yes the photographer can start collecting. That includes getting and foreclosing on liens on real property, taking cars, garnishing wages, etc. The work of collecting on a judgment can also include the attorney’s fees incurred to collect.
Plus, here in California a judgment accrues 10% annual interest (I don’t know what Texas’ rate is). In Texas, it appears that postjudgment interest compounds annually. That’s not a bad investment if you think you can collect.
I still like the “I’ll take the baby” route
.
F that. The kid’s gonna grow up to be like his or her parents. Best to leave him or her with mom and dad so the kid can drive them nuts later in life.

Crank answered. What he said. In WI, stutory interest is 12%.

Yeah. And go on and take shit over to the tri forum.
Plaintiff can probably start to enforce her judgment upon its entry. Filing an appeal does not stay enforcement of most money judgments, unless defendants post a bond.
The bond premium on a $1mm judgment should not be high, but defendants will have to offer collateral as security, which is typically around 125% to 150% of the judgment amount (to account for post-judgment interest, as noted).
The interesting question to me is whether the papers have liability. They essentially ran with the story without seeking comment from the photographer who, apparently, could have easily disproven the claim.
Photographer is not a public figure, so she may have been able to prove that case too and increased her chances of collection.
Defamation is so hard to prove in this country. Court of appeal could reverse or lower damages. The parties will probably settle and the dipshit couple will issue some formal apology that gets published.
Great karma though.
My favourite part of that was the Sophie’s Choice reference.
Because picking only 80 of your wedding photos is exactly like having to choose which of your children you want to save from the Nazis
If the story is accurate this time - then I hope the photographer is able to recoup against them, and possibly the paper as someone else pointed out.
The couple’s attitude about wanting to ruin her business over this says a lot about who they are as people. Looks like they’re learning the self-inflicted hard way what it means to be ruined. No pity here for that.
Hopefully the photographer will recover money and her business.

This you respond to not the one about a tri suit?
Didn’t see it. Sue me.

It is going to be tough for the photog to recover the money and her lost business. She may have to drop out of the market for several years and reemerge as a different entity with someone else as the face of the business.
