Hello,
I found a photographer online do photograph our wedding. We ended up meeting up with him in November to talk about the photo package and though it was a good deal so signed a contract and gave him a 40% deposit which was stated on the contract. We had agreed on an engagement shoot date in December, which was included in the package. About a week before the shoot, we emailed him to confirm him where we were meeting, what time, etc and got no reply. Called, texted, emailed again, no reply. To this day we have still heard nothing. I then had a friend write to him as a potential client and he wrote her back the same day. This person stole my money!!! And is probably doing it to others.
I went to the cops and they told me they can't help me, so people have told me to go to small claims court. Is this the correct thing to do? Does anyone have any advice? Thanks for your time.
