original update has been deleted and i am reposting this because i forgot to edit out some of the names in the screenshots i posted

WHEW alright thank you guys so much for all of your comments and for being so patient with me while i put this update together. here is the long awaited update. if you have not read the original post here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/CharlotteDobreYouTube/s/mFc8Hj8dMP

okay so where we left off was the photographer was demanding she still be paid in full after quitting and leaving the venue literally 20 minutes before the ceremony started. bride and groom were talking small claims and were still astonished at anna’s audacity and unprofessional behavior. i would also like to point out that even though i had mentioned anna used the brides photos for an advertisement without her permission, a few of you who commented said that anna is totally allowed to do that because the photos are technically her property which i did not know, so thank you for teaching me that

a few days after the wedding, the bride messaged our group chat talking about the incident. she said she had texted anna saying she was upset about what happened, but was willing to give her an extra $100 on top of the $300 deposit that was already paid in order to get any and all photos she had taken during the time she was actually at the venue. anna agreed, and sent the 20 photos she had taken. we thought that it had been resolved amicably just like the bride had wanted.

boy oh boy that is not what happened.

not even an hour later, the bride shared a screenshot from anna’s facebook business page. anna had gone on a long rant and posted it to her account complaining about the wedding and said that in the future she will require wedding packages to be paid IN FULL with no refunds allowed. not only that, she shared it to 89 other facebook groups relating to photography or weddings and random groups with our states name in it. she shared it to her personal page and posted screenshots of her rant everywhere. when the bride shared us the screenshot the only thing she said was “okay ladies, NOW its time to review bomb”. and we got straight to work

anna’s rant included a very misleading and inaccurate version of the events that transpired at the wedding. she tried entirely too hard to make it sound like she was the victim and that she was only changing her policy to “protect herself” so we went straight to the comments to set the record straight. i would also like to mention that in anna’s rant she mentioned she had already given the bride and groom a discount but this discount was publicly advertised on her page, it was not a special discount she gave just to the bride and groom.

anywho, the whole entire wedding party flooded the comments with their retellings of what actually had happened at the wedding. her disappearances, the argument between the fiancé and the wedding coordinator, and her leaving right before the ceremony started. complete strangers who had seen the post from the 89 other pages she had shared it to started to comment on it too, calling anna out for her unprofessionalism and how it seemed like she left a lot of details out of her original post. she was getting absolutely annihilated in the comment section

after a couple hours we were beginning to wonder if anna was even monitoring the post or if she was ever gonna take it down because of how much attention the post was getting, and then a more prominent photographer with a much bigger following than anna commented on it and mopped the floor with her. she ate so good with her comment anna removed the post 10 minutes afterward

for all my screenshot loving comment scrolling people out there i will include the screenshots i have of this post, including the texts between anna and the bride and anna’s original rant. the last 2 screenshots are from the other photographer that commented and probably got anna to take down her post. the bridal party rejoiced at the post being taken down and the bride and groom are now at peace enjoying their newly wed bliss. they have started to receive some of the photos from the second photographer that took over once anna fled the scene and they are absolutely beautiful.

so my lovelies, as i saw one commenter say, the cheap always comes out expensive. so if you are getting married or just need to hire a photographer, do your research and never shy away from paying a pretty penny for a good photographer. when all is said and done all you have left is the memory and the photos.

thank you all so much 🩷

*EDIT* i just checked and anna has deleted her entire photography page/business page entirely
