    Hey! Did you guys ever do anything about it?? I wish I did more research. Her add with discount for her packages got me and 3 months later still no pictures, sneak peeks or barely any responses to my emails. She replied to one basically telling me that she has 4 moths as per the contract for delivery which I corrected her it was 3 and now the 3 months have passed. I know so many people who got married after we did and got their pictures back. Feel so scammed at this point, even the package was supposed to be 3 people, herself, an assistant and a videographer. But she left without even telling me and when the reception started I asked her “staff” and they said she left and sounded as if I should’ve known. I didn’t think of it, thought ok maybe since our wedding was “smaller” she thought maybe there wasn’t a need… which I now think back and think she could’ve actually been there taking pictures of other parts where the assistant was taking our pictures.

    I share the same experience about Pink Champagne Photography which honestly became a traumatic flashback to me but I just try to help myself look at the brighter side of still having keepsake of our wedding and surpassing that stage. It was interesting how the bad reviews were hidden cause I did not see these during my research prior wedding. For future clients, just do yourself a favor- better get out than get trapped if you have strong doubts with your vendors. It makes a lot of difference to be at ease planning and working with your vendors for a once in a lifetime event. The enticing lower rate package is not worth the stress of dealing with attitude and hostile tendencies and risking beautiful memories of your life. Jacqueline can be nice but she was rude too that I was not totally at ease planning and working with her for our wedding from the beginning. I gave it the benefit of the doubt (as I respected her mental health challenges) and endured it but at the expense of our memories and my own mental health. It was hard to ask questions to her cause she shuts you off to only ask limited questions and she can be defensive when you simply clarify things. To avoid unnecessary stressful conversations we trusted to simply rely on their work without a definite checklist or structured plan that it ended up as more of a free flow during the wedding. No laid out time & sequence plan. Photos & videos were ok but there were many missed parts of the event that could have been captured if it was well planned and communicated. I gave her the permission to tell guests about no phones during ceremony but some guests found her really intimidating & impolite. Took 5 months to get our wedding photos/videos and another 4-5 months for additional clips that we requested after countless follow up’s and inspite of us paying her on time as she demanded. Many excuses with deadlines and the disappointing part is that the end product is not even that great. Not worth the attitude. I appreciate how her photographers and a bit of her, worked hard during the event but there were many uneven shots & unclean cuts like her being in the shots when in fact she imposed guests not to photobomb lol. The high resolution was the only consolation but they are hard to save or download/upload anyway. I am still thankful we have captured memories of our wedding but you guys can do better without suffering in the process and with the end product. Just sharing for reflection.

    Thanks for standing up on this. Totally agree. Had a terrible experience with her too. Not worth the stress and risk of stealing off the joy in your wedding or events because of her attitude which is not even compensated by the quality of her work.

    Every single positive review is fake. There’s 100s of them after I reposted my review. She’s very nervous because we have a lot of proof about how she scammed and lied to us.

    Yup, she offered us $150 and the missing video we never got.


    We are looking into group litigation if anyone that has used her and has had their contract violated would be interested in participating please reach out to me!

    I didn't know she was paying people to remove their negative reviews but I did notice after each review she has a lot of 5 star reviews which we also thought she is asking her family and friends to post the reviews. She threatened me for my review. She might not know that threatening is a crime and that she is dealing with a lawyer. I'm waiting for her "Legal representative" to see what they have to say!

    I will do the facebook too. She cannot survive in this business with this attitude and quality of work. We paid $5000 to her literally for nothing. Then we did a photoshoot just for fun in Maldives for $150 and the pictures were delivered edited in one day and you should see the quality of work. I even sent her the pictures for her own comparison, no response obviously. I tried very much to work with her and make friends with her and be understanding, maybe she does something for us, oh the pride she has. She started this business during covid and she cannot handle her clients obviously. Before that she was charging $200 for photo sessions. He work maybe worth that $200, not even. Im happy to share the pictures she tool of us. Absolutely to laugh at.

    Also, I just observed her google review trend, I think she asked some of her friends to add 5-star review in past few weeks to negate all the 1-star reviews. Phew

    Oh my God the audacity to threaten on just a google review. That does seem like an awful narcissistic personality, can't understand how she is surviving in this wedding business from such a long time. She does have a Facebook page but reviews are disabled there. The only way would be to post on "Ontario Vendors and Brides" group on Facebook which has more than 16000 members and mostly brides. I am so glad that because of you and others, I am not booking her anymore.

    Hi Jessica,

    Yes I did leave a google review to which she threatened me that I should expect a call from her legal representative!!! Which is too funny to me cause I simply shared my experience and my personal opinion. Honestly her attitude is just awful. Like you owe her something. She once told me that she used to be a collector and she loved it. Her behaviour totally describes that personality. After I saw her threatening response on google , I filed a complaint against her business. I don't know about any Facebook page. If you tell me where I would definitely write a review. I just don't want anybody to fall into the same trap as we did.

    Hi Nellie, Sad to see that this happened with you. Have you provided this feedback on Facebook groups or perhaps may be google review so that it can reach to more people?

    Do not use her. She is an absolute gas lighter with terrible attitude. Her quality of work is like a 5 years old and I'm not exaggerating. We booked with another photographer after paying her so much. We are redoing the whole thing because we asked her for better resolution photos or the raw photos so we can do our own edits, no response whatsoever. She couldn't care less about you. She never responds to requests and she claims she is sick but as soon as the message is about money she replies in seconds. As soon as she received the money she is no where to find. Do yourself a favor and hire someone else. We could not regret it more.
