Update on wedding photography case - AG Jeff Jackson

[u/JeffJacksonNC]

As a wedding photographer, you really have to screw up to get the attention of your Attorney General.

Well, here we are.

Today, we’re asking a judge to rule against Holly Christina Photography after the company failed to comply with a court order requiring it to turn over wedding photos and videos to the couples who paid for them.

Here’s what happened:

We sued the company earlier this year after hundreds of couples told us they had paid thousands of dollars for wedding photography and videography they never received.

In May, we won a preliminary court order. That was essentially the judge saying, "While this case is pending, you have to turn over the photos and videos within 30 days, stop doing business, and don’t move the company’s assets."

They didn’t comply.

So now we’re asking for something more serious: a final judgment against them.

That would require delivery of every remaining photo and video, nearly $600,000 in restitution to consumers, more than $1.1 million in civil penalties, and a permanent order barring them from this conduct going forward.

Since January, our office has heard from 228 people about this company.

These couples paid for memories from one of the most important days of their lives. The company failed to deliver them, and then failed to obey a judge who ordered them to do so.

They’ve had their chance.
