I watched this and think I came away with a different take on this that a lot of others.
The judge didn't ask if there was a written contract. He seemed to only look at one image and claim it couldn't be enlarged any more, and it was soft in the corners. It looked to be an 8X10. How many wedding photos are larger than that?
He seemed to know a few buzz words, and fancy himself as a photographer, and seemed to be setting some personal arbitrary standards for a professorial.
I didn't see him look at the overall package delivered, only one or two photos. He didn't look at her portfolio and compare that with the delivered images.
The photographer is obviously on the cheaper end. You can't expect her to have the same quality that say a world renowned wedding photographer charging 10K for the day.
Again she is on the cheap end. Joe blasted her when she didn't know how fast her lens was. Well two things here, she was at this point visibly upset, and here is a personal observation about female photographers: Men are gear heads, woman aren't. I have seen woman look like a deer caught in the headlights when asked a technical question, yet when you look at their work it is spectacular.

Also what's up with the tripod question? A 10D?
In summary it wasn't a fair evaluation, just TV.
