Affordable Photography / Frank Kitter

Is it possible to give negative stars??? because if it is i would like to give Frank Kitter (d/​b/​a Affordable Photography) a –10.
We enlisted Frank’s services pretty much immediately after getting engaged. he had photographed my friends wedding in June, 2004. (i signed with him in August, 2004). i probably should have waited.
We set up our engagement pictures for Memorial Weekend, 2005. Frank was late. He showed up with an old camera. i figured — well — i’m sure he takes nice pictures. he took about a roll of film and said we would have the proofs by June 5^th.
June 5^th came and went. While complaining to my friend she mentioned that she still do not have her wedding album … from her June of 2004. Now i started to worry.
We called. We left messages. We called some more. Nothing.
My boss (an attorney) wrote a letter for me telling him to return our deposit. well THAT got his attention. he called my (soon to be) husband and agreed to return our money. Ten minutes later he called back and said that he was NOT going to return our money. yelled and screamed. Said he had already developed the pictures and bought the frame for our signature board. We told him to give us a receipt for the price of the film, the development, the board and frame and that he could take it out of our deposit.
Our calls were never returned after that. So here we were — less than 2 months before our wedding without a photographer. So essentially he made of with our $ 500 deposit and we got nothing but headache in return.
My parents suggested taking him to small claims court but i figured it wasn’t worth my time.
