I didn’t really know where to post this but I want to warn other Brides and also try and find other Brides who I know for a fact have been affected by this person.
I booked Camille Waring (Photographs by Camille) to photograph our wedding on the 17th of July this year. I booked her last March and she offered a 10% Discount to pay upfront. She seemed lovely and genuine when we met her so we weren’t worried and went ahead and booked her and stupidly decided to take advantage of the offer of 10% and paid upfront.
All was ok until about 6 months later when somebody posted on a wedding forum that they had paid her upfront and she didn’t turn up for their wedding. I emailed Camille and she fobbed me off with a bit of a sob story and assured me she would 100% be at our wedding.
Fast-Forward to June this year and she emailed us to arrange a meet up pre-wedding. We suggested a time and place and she said all was fine but she had a dodgy knee so would have to rest it for a while before meeting us. When it came to a day before we were due to meet I emailed her checking she was still on to meet and she replied saying she was laid up in bed with her bad knee and couldn’t make it… I replied asking if she was definitely going to be ok for our wedding and she assured me she was and would bring a 2nd Photographer with her…
In the meantime I was a bit worried so I googled her and discovered she had changed her Company name and re-branded as ‘Kitty L’Wren’ and moved to Australia!! Which explains why I only ever got emails from her at midnight.. I also found out that she had not showed up for 2 other weddings and had done other ones and they had never received photos.
So I sent her all this on an email and she completely ignored it and just said she would be at my wedding at 10:30. I replied to her to clarify a few things and she never replied. Well suffice to say she never turned up on our Wedding Day and now she is un-contactable.
So I firstly wanted to warn all other Brides about her and to ask for any other Brides she has done this to, to contact me as there a few of us that are going to take it further and the more people that report her the stronger case we will have.
So if anybody else has been affected by this woman please email me – [email protected]
Thanks
Clare
