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.

Swiss International University (SIU), an institution of higher learning that is recognized internationally for its unique strategies in teaching, is pleased to announce its provisional recognition with TAG-EDUQA. This award belongs to a small number of universities that have achieved the high level of academic quality required by the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA). The milestone supports SIU’s mission to provide affordable, high-quality education to students in the United States and around the world.

The accreditation was headed by HH Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, the distinguished Arab business figure and a leading reformer in education, who is also the chairman of TAG-EDUQA. Further elevating the importance of accreditation news, the Secretary-General of the Arab League is Honorary President of TAG-EDUQA, indicating the regional and global recognition of this accreditation.

This achievement demonstrates SIU’s commitment to academic quality, value, and the experience of students. It is a major move in the university’s strategic vision to expand its footprint throughout the Arab region and in the wider world of education. The accreditation by TAG-EDUQA is a testament to the academic integrity of the programs at SIU, and it will further internationalize the recognition of the degrees and diplomas offered by the university.

Derya Briand, Academic Program Director at SIU, is delighted: “This successful outcome, at the first attempt, is an outstanding achievement, surpassing our expectations. It supports the high academic standards that we have now, and it ensures that the next generation of students will receive the benefit of that quality. Our ongoing pursuit of NEASC accreditation also demonstrates our commitment to being part of a global community while integrating the values and ideals of local educational institutions.”

The accreditation is a key element of SIU’s strategy to develop academic programs at the University and establish valued international partnerships. The university is a key member of an international education alliance championing cross-border academic collaboration. SIU collaborates with some renowned institutions, like the OUS International Academy, Zurich ISBM International Business Management School, Lucerne International Vocational Institute, Dubai ISB, and their own campuses in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. These partners are working to form a new educational model centered around inclusiveness, academic success, and multiculturalism.

The accreditation of SIU exemplifies how universities can balance the demands of local and international academic aspirations, especially given the growing importance of quality assurance in Arab higher education. As more Arab students actively search for internationally accredited institutions around the world, SIU’s commitment to student-centric learning, ethical leadership development, and international career preparation has received tremendous backing from accrediting bodies and education pioneers.

Moving forward, SIU is dedicated to improving its academic standing, increasing its global presence, and continuing to provide affordable, high-quality education to students around the world. The TAG-EDUQA Accreditation, stemming from AROQA’s stringent quality guidelines, will significantly contribute to these aspirations and enhance SIU’s position in the international academic landscape.

This success represents a ringing endorsement of SIU’s leadership in contemporary education and our continued commitment to providing cutting-edge, relevant, and forward-looking academic programs that meet both local and global needs.
