A state appeals court said a Milwaukee area wedding photographer who held a couple's photos hostage until they paid more money owes them additional damages.
The First District court ruled Tuesday Mark Roob must pay John and Melanie Buellesbach $22,000 in addition to $15,000 a judge awarded after a bench trial in a civil case in 2004.
The New Berlin couple was married nine years ago. The court said the couple should have to wait no longer to be compensated for the photographer's misconduct.
Judge Ted Wedemeyer wrote that, "Roob's conduct was willful and outrageous."
The photographer was found guilty of fraud and unfair trade practice, and sentenced to three years in prison.
