I just saw a report on Calendar News on Yorkshire TV about this. While I agree to a certain extent with what Mark says, the photos in that article and the others they showed on Calendar were really awful. Any one who claims to be a photographer let alone a pro wedding tog should be ashamed at including these in the final album. OK there may have been some better ones but come on, you don't include the ones that went wrong in the final album.
I know he should have produced better images, but I also feel really sorry for him.
Not everyone is good at what they do.
I agee Simon - I was just addressing the point about them being "in the final book"

And I agree with you Jim. But if I had been the "photographer" I would have shown them a proof book of maybe 100 photos removing the 300 terrible ones. His mistake was to show every single photo he took.
When I did my 1st wedding I shot over 700 photos but I only showed the b&g just over 300. The others were not up to scratch in my opinion. Some of them were duplicates or some were when people were pulling a bad pose and yes some of them weren't exposed properly. But the b&g never got to see them.
That is what he should have done.
if you are not good at what you do you should not be a wedding photog, simple as that.
practice, go to college, be an assistant but dont call yourself a pro when you're not then screw up someones day because you cant even use a meter correctly.
i dont feel sorry for him in the slightest.

To be fair something good might just come out of this; peoples awareness is being raised that professional photographers are pro for a reason,a nd you get what you pay for.
