Wedding Photographer Katie Hunt Receives Rocks Instead of $250 Kodak Portra Film Ordered From Amazon

North Carolina wedding photographer Katie Hunt spent $250 on Kodak Portra film through Amazon and discovered the cartridges were filled with rocks when she opened them at a venue. A content creator filming with her captured the reaction, which Hunt posted to Instagram and TikTok, where it drew close to six million views. Hunt, who normally buys Portra from B&H, said she ordered extra rolls because several weddings were coming up. "Won't be doing that again," she said, noting that previous Kodak film purchases on Amazon had been fine. She attributed the substitution to a third party who bought the film, replaced it with rocks, returned it and resealed the packaging well enough that the seller resold it unknowingly. Amazon refunded the purchase, but issued the money as a gift card. Hunt pushed back on commenters who accused her of being unprepared, saying she had enough film for the day and that the rock-filled rolls were extra stock not necessarily needed. She also rejected claims the video was rage bait, explaining that a content creator who regularly accompanies her happened to be filming when the rocks were uncovered. PetaPixel contacted Amazon for comment and said the story would be updated if the company responded.
