You can claim back the amount. Because it is professional negligence on the part of the photographer. It is his duty to save photos or data in safe format. You send a legal notice intimating him to give your marriage photos withing 15 days time and also sought damages in that. If he is not, then file a consumer case against him and claim your amount with interest and damages.

You can contact us if your interested or contact any advocate for this. Please proceed,

Sorry to hear your grievance. And you are an Consumer as per Consumer Protection Act, 1986. Send a Legal Notice to him from an Advocate stating that to give back the photos and videos within a specified time or else you will be suing him for damages. Most of the time Notice is enough to get work done if he is lazy & reluctant. Unfortunately, if he has lost all photos and video then you can make a Complaint to Consumer District Forum for his deficiency in service and claim compensation for the loss suffered by you.
