(Reuters) - Last year, Natalia Esparra, then 34 and a new bride, learned that something had gone wrong with her photographer's memory card and that all of her wedding photos had disappeared. Three recovery companies looked at the memory card, the backup hard drive and the laptop, but only 98 photos -- none with the wedding party in them -- were salvaged.
"It was absolutely devastating," says Esparra, a veterinary technician in San Francisco.
It was for people like Esparra that wedding insurance was created, and fortunately for her, she had it. Her insurance would have paid up to $2,000 to recreate the entire wedding party photographs, although she and her husband opted to spend $550 and only re-shoot photos of the two of them.
