I am sure the "thief" did not know the contents and took what they wanted, but find it quite strange anyways. Sitting near your cousin was obviously not the best choice on your part. How about locked up in your car?
People plan and spend a LOT on a weddings. As someone that has started to get into this field, the "cannot afford one" is just not a valid thing to say.
People spend thousands for their weddings, and to not budget a small percentage towards a professional photographer... well, then you are asking for these things to happen. It sincerely is too bad that it happened to you, but it is worse that it happened to the bride and groom. After all, THEY are the ones that lost the most (unrepeatable memories of an event that will NEVER happen again).
What can anyone say. It is gone. Though its NOWHERE NEAR the same thing, perhaps ask for a re-shoot or something. Yeah, I know it will be nothing like the real thing, but at this point they have NOTHING... perhaps some shots may be better than nothing?
So you're saying if he would have charged his friends a couple grand he would be made immune to theft and poor decision making?
There are a lot of people out there in "the real world" that simply cannot afford the $1500+ that even an inexperienced "pro" will charge.... and I for one would trust many of my close friends to "protect" my photos just as much as I would some inexpensive pro in the yellow pages.
