Horrified newlyweds catch cameraman saying 'f***ing mugs' in video of big day
A newlywed couple were horrified to hear a photographer calling wedding guests "f***ing mugs" as they played the video of their big day.
Lois Ghost-Adderley and husband Lee, both 28, received an unedited video of their wedding from the filmmaker James David which included the obscene language.
He can be heard calling their friends and family "f***ing mugs” and saying "what's the f*** wrong with these people."
And his behaviour only came to light after he sent the raw footage to the couple a year after their wedding in Faversham, Kent.
The pair tied the knot at the countryside setting in August 2021 and received their wedding video shortly afterwards.

Bride Lois said: "We booked the company quite last minute, but we received the video back very quickly. I had some niggles [about the film] as a lot of the footage was of plus-ones and very little of my family.
"That said, we were still very happy after our wedding celebrations and I didn't want to rock the boat, so we didn't complain."
Just over a year later, in October 2022, the couple, who were then expecting their first child, were contacted by Mr David to let them know he would be deleting their video off a sharing website.
The couple jumped at the chance to request a very important clip that had been missing from the original footage.

"He said he did, and could in fact send us all raw footage for an additional £100.
"We had already paid £1,600 for his services and felt like this was a bit steep, but it meant a lot to us to have this footage so we agreed.”
After receiving the footage shortly before the birth of their daughter, the couple finally managed to watch it last week.
Lee added: "One delightful video jumped out to us, which is of our friends and family.

"It does leave a sour taste in the mouth when we look back at everything now.”
Mr David is the managing director of James David Films.
When approached for comment, Mr David said he would be reaching out to the couple to "resolve the situation".
He added: "Unfortunately these things happen – little slips happen and I must take responsibility; there's not much more I can do. I will be moving forward with my team; my guys will be getting in contact to resolve the situation.
"We can only apologise and take responsibility. We will be sending a letter of apology in the next couple of days and dealing with the matter privately."
Lois said the couple are yet to receive an apology or any communication from Mr David so far.
