The issue here is, have the photographer refuse to compensate the couple? Or have they ask for it? Not sure why you going further than needed when the road is even walked.

Precisely! Then why the cause of road to going down to Small Claim is suggested by you without finding out whether they have asked for it?

I'm drafting a package, where they choose the no. of rolls. Etc, for 1 day malay wedding, choose between 4-8 rolls. I'm thinking that I would shot the same no. of pics regardless no. of rolls they choose, but only return the soft copies according to the rolls they wanted earlier., ie, for a 4 rolls package, mean 4 rolls of the best that I shot; same as the printouts. While the rest I keep and dun even show them? Hmm.. Any comments?
sounds really really complicated and hard to sell. I would definitely simplify it. Make it easy for your clients to buy from you. why not just say $1000 for 100 images returned, each additional is $10. sometimes it's not the price that scares people off but that it's just so complicated to buy from you they get scared away.

Well, perhaps you can make an appointment with a lawyer to find out 
. Not sure what the bone to pick here is.
If the only advice you want from a lawyer is "Try to talk with the other side first", then I'm sure the lawyers you pay for advice will be very happy.

Nope, that is not the issue you have raised in post #39. Go back and refresh your memory by reading it again.

If I remember correctly, my Biz law lecturer love to emphasis the point that "The law does not protect stupid people"...do excuse my language 
As far as contract is concern, $1 is a good enough consideration for a payment and as far as blur picture is concern....this is up to the individual's interpretation...so...its back to square one..I can see 2 scenario to this ending:
1. Photographer's integrity /ethics
Sudden awaking of the photographer's conscious and decided to compensate couple for lousy job
2. Couple sue for damages
Sue for emotional damages and loss of intangible assets (i.e valuable memories...etc etc)
my 2 cents worth... Good Luck

I did, my case last time with my lawyer was done as I was mentioned. That usually be the first course of action. Things go step by step.Well, perhaps you can make an appointment with a lawyer to find out

Issue here is perhaps the possibility to settle the issue BEFORE going to court. So far most lawyer friends I have advise this to me/clients. Not sure why you going further, neither have Priscilla ask the next course of action.......
Hey guys, both of you are right on different perspectives. The argument is not on how much images should be given to buyers (as of this thread) but on quality and litigation. Its a subjective issue, unless view and judge by a few of you whom are in the wedding photography trade.
The objectives of my poll are:
1) to gauge what are out there as a practice
2) to set expectation both from buyers and sellers
3) to prevent argument and litigation
As an association, WPAS may need to set up a sub-committee to mitigate or judge whats acceptable quality and whats not, but only for members. Its an issue we can discuss in our next networking.

Wrong, that is not the issue raised in your post #39, which I was responding to; it was only brought up later.
I quote your post 39 again for your easy reference - please read and tell me where does it raise the possibility of settlement:
In any case, I did not say that lawyers do not advise settlement, read my post again. Also, anyone is free to provide their comments here, whether or not the originating comment has asked for a "course of action". You have also provided your raising of settlement as a possibility just in the same way that Priscilla did not ask for it.

I did, please re-read my post #39 which question the small claim's ability to judge an art which you answer without any relevent to current case. Cleaner or not is not art, thus no issues here.
I have no idea since I am no lawyer but you seem to have a good idea how the settlement and judgement be made the the quality of the photos is bad or not. Do let us know.
I merely pointed out the step that your suggestion lacked. As you mentioned that anyone is free to point out and comment here, as am I. That being no point in mentioning that anyone can comment and later to ask me to justify it. Or your comment is not to be commented against? If no, I am free to question it.

Read my post again and yours again. I questioned that "Don't lawyer's always suggest to meet with the people involved for possible settlement before going to Court?" Is it a matter of fact or question? Did I say that you do not advise settlement? Perhaps going further than necessary.
And I quote "If the only advice you want from a lawyer is "Try to talk with the other side first", then I'm sure the lawyers you pay for advice will be very happy." Seem to suggest otherwise.

I believe in givig them good prints (maybe around 200) but will give them all the pics taken without pp (in DVD).
Also, just to add, since you're paid for the shots, all the pics during the period you're employed by them, belong to the clients, not to you.

I am not a pro but I would like to share what I feel is appropriate.
Customer should pay only for what is good and what they want. This should be fair for both parties and gives Photograpers the incentive to improve on their quality.
As a pro, you should at least do a first cut to remove any shots that failed to make the grade. This is to ensure that you only shows your best and I believe it is a normal practice.

Giving a sub-standard photos would only spoilt your reputation as a Wedding Photographers...
think there is a lot of practice.I dont really see the issue of giving "all" photos. After all the "all" is define by us. I dont think the client would want to look through 1000 - 2000 pics. Guess they will fall asleep by then.
Its impt to filter off all the cmi e.g. blur, dono wat u shooting type of shot. The so so shots (unless its very impt shot).
I think it will be good to give them "all" the photos, as they will not come back to you to say "hey can you help me print 2x pic 123, 1 x pic 125" then another month come back and ask for a few more prints. How much can we earn for that few 4R photos?
