Today, I found out the memory card our engagement photos were taken on has been corrupted, so all the images are lost. The guy who took the pictures said that this has never happened to him in the eight years that he's been a photographer. FML

actually the technician the photographer works with determined that it may take 4 months to recover them. there's no guarantee that it would actually work though and it's extremely expensive.
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

102 - I don't understand why you'd be stuck paying for it if it's not your fault. Sure, it's expensive but you didn't cause the film to corrupt. I'd fight it.

I think it's a sign. Wanna go out sometime. It's not cheating... the relationship is over anyways.

As someone who owns a Photography Business, these things do happen, but OP you should gave signed this thing called a contract. In it, loss of product and acts of God should have been covered. Have the photog try to recover the pictures, but if he can't ask for a reshoot. as much as a refund would hurt him, bad PR in a small town would hurt worse.

You can buy card recovery program off the Internet that gets the files off the corrupt card! The same thing happened to me after a photoshoot! good luck!

I don't understand how the last sentence in this FML is relevant. It's just useless information...

No. It tells you that the photographer has a flawless track record for the 8 years he's been working.

Most Computer Shops can recover things off of messed up cards or crashed hardrives. They usually can't get every last thing, and it costs money, but if the pictures are that treasured, then it's absolutely worth it.
