Wedding photog apologizes post branding bride as 'ugliest ever' on Facebook

A wedding photographer has apologized after a post on his Facebook page said a bride was the "ugliest" he had "ever seen."

Lee Maxwell Judd appeared to post an acid-tongued rant after uploading a picture of 30-year-old Ashlea Howard with her husband Daniel Howard above a caption calling her a "Bridezilla."

The photographer, whose post read "Ugliest bride I have ever photographed. Winged (sic) the whole time. Bridezilla #1," claimed he didn't post the insults and that his account had been hacked.

Ashlea said that it was really disgusting, she was absolutely mortified at his behaviour, it was just unacceptable.

The couple said the comments came after they had complained about a mix-up of the delivery of their photos.

In a post on his Facebook page, Judd tried to distance himself from the comments by saying "Apologies to all concerned. My FB was compromised by a computer hack yesterday evening."

He later added that "Seems the hacking has generated an overload of new likes, leads and clients. Hackers I won't be pressured to take down this page on your account.
