In North Carolina, Attorney General Jeff Jackson has initiated legal action against Holly Christina Scott Ayscue, Christopher Owen Ayscue, and their wedding photography business, Holly Christina Photography. This lawsuit stems from accusations of deception and fraud targeting engaged couples and their families.
Since January, the Department of Justice has documented 166 complaints, with alleged financial losses amounting to over $750,000. Customers reported being left without photographers, refunds, or cherished wedding memories. The company is accused of operating deceptively, even double- or triple-booking weddings on numerous dates and using backup photographers without consent.
While some clients have reportedly received raw images or won credit card disputes, many still await resolution. The Attorney General's office has been investigating, prompted by early media reports. The legal action seeks to prevent the defendants from continuing to offer services due to their alleged untrustworthiness.
