A wedding photographer in Wisconsin, Scott Sockett, has been sued several times by his clients, after he fails to make his appearance on the D-Day of their wedding. Apart from the no-shows, he has also been sued for mixing up the clients’ photographs and failing to deliver the promised results.

Several clients have claimed to hire that wedding photographer for services ranging from videography to DJ, and have paid more than $1,000 for those services.

One of his clients, Heather Timm, shared that she was sent the wrong photographs of some other family after the event was over. She further said, “To have someone intentionally mislead you and take advantage of you and change that memory for you somewhat, is really sad.”

Another of his clients, Michelle Heck, said that he didn’t even turn up to the wedding to shoot the function. “About an hour before our ceremony was starting, I was getting my makeup done and kind of texting him. Saying I was getting nervous having a feeling that he wasn’t going to come. That’s when I realized this is all a lie. He is not going to be coming.”

Such instances took place with several other clients, thereby making him owe more than $14,000 in total to 8 people he stood up. The clients went to the small claims court to fight for their money, and winning them back. But the photographer is yet to return them the owed amount.

When discussed about this topic with an Orlando wedding videographer, he shared how important this day is for the 2 families involved. And messing up their 1 thing to rejoice years later, is the worst thing you can do to a wedding. He further shared how his commitment to making the D-day for the couple wonderful, has won him several amazing clients over the years, and how every other videographer and photographer should start getting serious towards this profession.

However, when a local news agency contacted Scott Sockett, he refuted the claims, saying that it is the work of a rival agency. He shared that he has a list of several past clients who were extremely happy with his services, and offered to share that list with the station. But, the station never got to hear from him again.

Michelle has been a part of the journey ever since Bigtime Daily started. As a strong learner and passionate writer, she contributes her editing skills for the news agency. She also jots down intellectual pieces from categories such as science and health.

New collaborations with Citibank, Abu-Ghazaleh Global, RAK Properties, and others strengthen SIU’s commitment to connecting academic learning with global career opportunities.

Swiss International University (SIU) has already informed about the new corporate partnerships that will start in October 2025 and that they will provide students with better access to internships, training programs, and job opportunities in various fields.

The new partnerships are aligned with SIU’s goal to combine education with the real world, as they ensure that the graduates are equipped with the required knowledge, skills, and professional exposure to be successful in the global economy of today.

In the last few weeks, SIU has formed alliances with several major companies, including those from the banking, business, hospitality, real estate, and consulting sectors. The students will be actively involved in each collaboration through internships, practical training, and the career opportunities that will be given to them during or after their studies.

Among the key collaborations are

Citibank, where students of the business and finance fields will get to experience international banking operations through special training and possible hiring programs.

Abu-Ghazaleh Global has given SIU’s programs its official blessing and access to practical experience in global business, accounting, and consulting.

RAK Properties is going to give real estate and business students a chance to learn about property development, investment, and project management.

The Signature Inn Hotel Al Riqa L.L.C. offers students of hospitality a chance through real-life interrelated scenarios to gain the knowledge of front-office operations and guest management.

Al Shabaka International Businessmen Services is opening a door for the students to meet the professionals involved in global business consulting and administration.

Galadari Motor Driving Center, where students will get a clear insight into corporate management, customer relations, and operational efficiency.

Women’s First Jobs is going to help female students and graduates through career counseling, professional networking, and empowerment initiatives.

MyFounders.Club Global is building up the students and aspiring founders in terms of innovation and entrepreneurship by taking them through the process of developing and launching new ventures.

Revival AE Project Development Consultant Co., L.L.C., where students will be working on consulting for sustainable projects and environmental management.

“The partnerships that we have formed represent our commitment not only to the business world but also to the world of academia,” said the Head of Swiss International University. “We are aspiring to equip every student in SIU with the power to win the global job market through robust academic credentials, practical exposure, and a web of real opportunities. Our target is not a teacher-student relationship whose only need is the job—our students will be the ones making changes in the various fields of tomorrow.”

The academic world and the global market are the two areas where SIU, collaborating with partners at the present time, shows the institution’s continued commitment to creating a career-oriented academic environment where learning takes place beyond the walls of the classrooms.

The deadline of October 2025 is approaching, but the university is still looking to make new strategic partnerships to grow its network of global partners. It is clear from the continuous activities of the university that it is striving to offer its students worldwide the possibility of not only utilizing their skills but also being a part of the industry via employment and thus empowering them to make a difference in international markets.
