Wedding Photographer Won’t Refund Groom After Bride Dies in Car Crash

Justin Montney and his bride-to-be Alexis were set to get married this month, but in February tragedy struck, and Alexis lost her life in a car crash. Still grieving, Justin informed the wedding vendors and asked for refunds. All but one gave his money back - the wedding videographer. Cooper Stallion Media said that the couple had signed a non-refundable contract, and refused to get on the phone. When Justin spoke out, the videographer launched a callous attack, making a website to mock Justin. #InsideEdition

I get the refund part, but mocking him after his fiancee's death, that's just horrible, straight up disrespected the dead.

“We hope you sob and cry all day for what would have been your wedding day” what cold and heartless person would say that?!?

[bringbackbomberio]

This is just awful. First, his fiance dies and then he gets mocked on the day that would be their wedding. That's just nasty.

I'm a wedding vendor. I had a groom pass a week before the wedding. My services were fully paid. I gave* the bride a full refund on the spot, no questions asked. Wound up booking a wedding the very next day for triple the money for the same date. Karma is real.

And for all you jackasses commenting about me price gouging, I have 5 COMPLETELY different services I provide. The new couple booked a different service.

Not giving a refund is ok, but going out of your way to mock them? Truly devil spawn. Edit : My Poor Notifications!!

[Lllllllllls]

He mocks people while their at their lowest. Truly a horrible person.

No more contracts for him anymore. That photographer just killed his whole career.

This is depressing, RIP to the bride, I hope the groom will find a way to move forward with his loss. I can’t imagine losing my SO and being insulted about it, from a wedding photographer of all people.
The silver lining about this was that the videographer exposed himself as a completely evil sociopath, potentially never getting offers again. Imagine insulting and defiling your client’s late fiancé’s death smh. His business deserves to go under..

The fact they went out of business a year later warms my heart.

[bringbackbomberio]

"We hope you sob and cry on what would have been your wedding day" That's nasty. So glad his "business" closed.

I hope the wife can rest in peace. May the husband always feel her spirit with him.

The nastiest photographer in the world - not only refusing to refund them, but also insulting the traumatized groom 💔😭

[heinrichernacio]

I absolutely feel bad for Justin. First, his fiance dies and couldn't get refunded. To make it worse, he got mocked and shamed on social media. On top of all that, the photographer makes fun of Alexis' death. Give this man a break!

[analea]

That’s disgusting, I can understand that he doesn’t want to refund but say such a thing to a grieving person is pure evil

[dougdiplacido]

To not give a refund when the bride passed away is absolutely unacceptable. glad the guy went out of business. He seems like ax spoiled rich boy.

[bringbackbomberio]

Poor Justin. What the messed up photographer did is awful. To think that he did it on the day that would be their wedding.

[subhub]

“I am so sorry for your loss but because a contract was signed, i can not refund you. I apologize” Was too hard? Really? He had to make a WHOLE ass website?

[rnjesus]

I get not giving a refund, but to resort to bullying is completely absurd.

[dudeonthemoon]

Damn that’s disgusting for real. People making fun of loved ones that passed don’t understand how that’s crossing the lines.. once they go through something hard they will know how it feels.

[sallysmith]

I mean, technically he didn’t have to refund the groom, but it’s the right and respectful thing to do. Especially since he didn’t even get a chance to perform his job and take pictures of the wedding. But then to MOCK this poor grieving man, and make fun of him and his late fiancé? Absolutely disgusting behavior. Some hard karma is coming his way for sure.
