Planning a wedding can be a dream come true, but for some couples, it’s turning into a nightmare when it comes to wedding photography. Reports of wedding photographer scams are on the rise, with many couples falling victim to fraudsters who disappear with their money.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has received multiple reports through its Scam Tracker, warning couples about the growing number of scams in the wedding photography industry. Some scammers take payment in advance and vanish before the big day, leaving couples without a photographer. Others fail to deliver the photos promised, leaving couples without the precious memories they were expecting.
To avoid falling victim to these scams, couples are advised to research photographers thoroughly, ask for references, and make sure contracts are in place before handing over any money. It’s crucial to trust only verified, reputable professionals to ensure your wedding memories are captured as you envisioned.
