Studio One Photography Helps Newlyweds
Who Were Scammed
by an Independent Photographer

March 24, 2008

Scammed Copeland Photography customers get wedding albums and other items at near cost from Studio One Photography.

Unfortunately this happens all too often. At Studio One Photography, we get a few calls every month from frantic brides that can't get a hold of their independent photographer right before the wedding or after the wedding has been shot and can't get their album. However, this case is the most aggregious we have ever seen. Copeland Photography left a dozen or more customers high and dry without any photos from their wedding, without the album they paid for, or, in a couple of cases, no photographer to be found for their wedding day.

Studio One Photography is currently offering to help couples to create their wedding album and other items, at 10% above our cost, to cover labor if they were affected by Copeland Photography's recent business failure. If you were a Copeland Photography customer and would like assistance, please do not hesitate to contact 630-624-3040 and ask to speak to Richard. He is working with these situations.

Mr. Copeland apparently skipped town and has stopped communicating with his former customers. He has claimed that he has been too ill to produce the items he promised in his contract. However, according to Fox News Chicago, he is still responding to potential brides and they think is still accepting deposits and signing new contracts with customers.
