Ohio Sues Wedding Photographer Over Undelivered Photos
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has filed a lawsuit against 22-year-old Alexis Shelton, who operated Patty-Ann Photography in Tipp City, Ohio, after receiving over 25 complaints from couples who paid for wedding photos but never received them. The lawsuit, filed in Clark County Common Pleas Court, alleges violations of Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act for failing to provide services or issue refunds. Customers reported that Shelton missed weddings, failed to deliver engagement or anniversary images, and stopped responding to communications. The state seeks restitution, civil penalties, court costs, and an injunction to prevent further violations. In a separate case, the North Carolina Attorney General is pursuing legal action against Holly Christina Photography, with 166 complaints and losses exceeding $750,000. Additionally, dozens of brides have waited over a year for wedding footage after the FBI seized a videographer's hard drives.
