What to do if I have to pay additional chargesfor photographywork that has been delayed a year and 4 months?
My wedding photographer is delivering my wedding albums a year and 4 months after the wedding. She wants to charge me an additional $1,000 for the additional pages in the album. Can I tell her that I don’t have to pay because of the delay?

Do you have a written contract or estimate that you signed for the photography work that has been completed sixteen months after your wedding? If so, read the agreement in that its terms control your obligations for payment for photographs ordered and the photographer's obligations to charge you a set amount for the photographs that you ordered.
If you are being charged an additional $1,000.00 for the very items that were agreed to be provided, then you do not have to pay the additional amount for what was agreed to be paid. You are entitled to those pages as part of the initial agreed upon price.
You should also review all written documents you have with the photographer about when the photographs were to be provided you. If the photographs are being provided way beyond the agreed upon time period for presentation, and the additional photographs were not part of the agreed upon price, you have some leverage to get the additional photographs at a significant discount assuming you want them.
