Some Evansville newlyweds are out a couple thousand dollars and only have amateur photos to show from their wedding after their photographer never delivered.
The bride, Malarie Young, reached out to 14 NEWS to help her track down photographers Jacob Cantrell and Corinth French.
"You try to call the phone number, nobody answers. There's no voicemail. You send a message to the business page, and never get a response," said Malarie.
And Malarie says she's since met other brides who've been waiting longer than she has for their own wedding pictures.
We searched past addresses for Cantrell, but never found him. We found French at a rental home in Evansville and knocked on the door. She answered but when we started asking questions about the Young wedding pictures, the door was promptly shut.
The big question is, what should you do if this happens to you?
If you can find the photographer, experts say send a certified letter clearly stating what you want.
Next stop, small claims court. It costs less than $100 to file suit in Vanderburgh County, you don't need an attorney, and resolution happens pretty quickly.
You can also post ratings reviews on sites like YELP or at the Better Business Bureau.
As for the Youngs, they can see one picture of their wedding, but they have to go to Corinth French Photography's Facebook page to see it. And to top it all off, this photographer is still taking clients.
The Youngs could take the photographers to court, but even that can't bring their special day back.
