A bride has begged for a refund after discovering that her wedding photographer slept with her new husband.

The sordid story was laid bare on Reddit, under the Wedding Photography sub-thread, by user Wedding Dude.

He revealed that he had hired a fellow photographer, a woman in her 20s, to work with him at the ceremony believed to have been in the US.

But the unnamed user has since been contacted by the bride who demanded her money back after finding out that the assistant had an affair with her husband.

The post, which was shared earlier this week, read: ‘Earlier this summer I shot a wedding. My typical second shooter couldn’t make it, so I found someone else online who I felt did good work. 

‘Anyways her and I did the wedding, and everything seemed business as usual. Photos were edited, delivered to client, all was good.

‘Then this morning I got an email from the bride. She was wanting a refund because the lady I had hired as second shooter for the day ended up sleeping with her husband at some point after the wedding, and she also included photos from his phone to prove it.’

The unnamed user urged for advice, writing: ‘I haven’t responded yet, but what’s the best thing to do here? 

‘She hired me for a job and the job was completed and product was delivered. 

‘But I also feel like this would be as if I were a professional dog walker who walked a client’s dog, then came back and shot it later.

‘Of course the second shooter is considered a private contractor and not an employee…’

He concluded: ‘Anyways what is the best thing to do here? I really feel for this lady, but that’s also a lot of money to have to give back for work that was done.’

Adding yet further detail in the comments, Wedding Dude later wrote: ‘I asked the second shooter about it. 

‘She initially denied it, then after I brought up the pictures she said he claimed they were in an open relationship so she thought it was okay.’

Other social media users were quick to weigh in on the debate as many mercilessly mocked the situation.

One wrote: ‘This is by far the best post of the year in this sub. Congrats. You win.’

Another joked: ‘Offer her a discount on her next wedding.’

And a third said: ‘Lol, she should pay you more for the contractor. Unmasking her new husband and saving her from lifetime of cheating.’
