Christian Oth Responds to Lawsuit

Christian Oth has released a statement in response to the lawsuit filed by Sarah Bostwick against his studio and one of his photographers, Carolyn Monastra (see "Blushing Bride Files Lawsuit Against Her Wedding Photographer"). Here is an excerpt from the press release posted on his Web site:

"We are surprised and disappointed to learn that Mrs. Bostwick has filed a lawsuit against us in which she claims that we intentionally violated her privacy. We have never posted any images of Mrs. Bostwick on our public website or any other public venue. Client images, such as Mrs. Bostwick's, are posted on our proofing website and are always password protected. Our clients' privacy is a foremost priority. Therefore, the log-in and password to our proofing website are provided only to the client. Sharing of the log-in and password for this site is done at the sole discretion of the client. We believe that the substance of the allegations contained in Mrs. Bostwick's complaint are completely without merit, we emphatically deny those allegations, and we look forward to having this case dismissed."

sometimes you send brides links to their images on a proofing site (Pictage, Collages, etc) with any naked or partly clothed getting ready shots marked "private" so that only the bride can see it when she logs in as herself. But not everyone "gets" that, so I've heard horror stories of brides forwarding their login and password to their whole families, and then freaking out because the families saw the boudoir-style photos... because they logged in as the event owner/ bride, rather than created their own login. I bet that's what happened here.
Yikes!
