Divorced Man Sues Photography Studio for Missing Important Wedding Events

A New York man has filed a lawsuit against a photography studio insisting they pay $48,000 to recreate his wedding from 2003, which has since ended in divorce.

Todd J. Remis of Manhattan is suing because the studio missed the married couple’s last dance and the bouquet toss. He even wants H&H photography to fly his ex-wife from Latvia, even though he is not sure where she lives, to stage a new wedding for photographers. Remis, a former analyst wants, “the wedding recreated exactly as it was so that the remaining 15 percent of the wedding that was not shot can be shot,” according to the New York Times.

Remis and his wife had divorce lawyers dissolve their marriage before he filed this lawsuit in 2009. His case is due in court today.

Previously, Justice Doris Ling-Cohan of the State Supreme Court dismissed some of the ground for the lawsuit such as the “infliction of emotional distress,” but has allowed the suit to go forward in order to determine if there was a breach of contract, according to the New York Times.

Critics are questioning his motivations, and the owner of H&H Photography, Curt Fried, 81, believes the lawsuit is an abuse of the legal system.   

Divorce attorneys can tell you that dissolution is a trying time for any couple. Along with having to grapple with their emotions, the couple and their divorce lawyers have to decide how to divide marital assets.
