Unethical, yes . . breach of confidentiality, too?

Hello, I just got married very recently & our photographers for the private ceremony were "friends". Meaning they were friends until we learned of what happened at the ceremony. After our honeymoon, my husband and I were informed that the wife of the husband/wife photography duo took unauthorized photographs of myself in my wedding dress and sent them via text to a woman who I have filed a police report against about a month ago. Background is, my "friend" the woman photographer became friends with a woman who I have had much conflict with. Over a month ago I had to file a police report to get this woman to stop harassing me. The harassment is via internet, so there isn't much anyone can do, but it made me feel better to file a report in case of other problems in the future, as this woman has bugged me for the past two years. (What is her problem with me, that is unknown other than I dated her husband about 5 long years ago! Some people just can't move on. I've been with my husband for 3 years, and we just got married recently.) So the photographer and this woman have become chummy, and hey to each their own, until this development. My question is, does anyone know what we can do to get justice here? The signed contract says "any and all photographs taken by the photographer remain the property of the photographer, and may be used for portfolio samples . . . and any other business related issues." So if you read that right, although the photograph was taken via cell phone, it was taken by the hired photographer and according to the agreement it should only be used for business purposes, and texting the woman I've filed a report against wouldn't even come close to being a business related issue. The female photographer was fully aware of my conflict with the other woman whom she sent the text to. Obviously, I didn't choose a good friend. Is is possible that I could get a lawyer to help me with this? Any suggestions here at all? Please? Thank you.

Answer:
I think you will need a lawyer familiar with these kinds of issues to advise you. Unfortunately, it will be hard to prove significant damages, so the monetary claim you could make would be negligible. I'm not sure your best recourse is through the courts. Invasion of privacy is not a basis for a legal claim. Are these people professional photographers? If so, I would consider offering them a deal: That you will not mention this to anyone (Angie's List, etc.) in return for waiving all their charges for your wedding pictures. Good luck. You definitely deserve justice here.

Not only is this unethical, but it is also a blatant invasion of privacy.
