Couples have been left heartbroken and devastated after their photographer ceased trading weeks before their special day. Multiple couples from Wales say they are frustrated and baffled at what to do next, as they claim they are hundreds of pounds out of pocket before their wedding.
In an email sent to customers, Lee Brewer, a sole trader under the name South West Photo & Film, and previously known as Lee Brewer photography, said he had "declared bankruptcy" on Tuesday, July 27. The website for South West Photo & Film has since been removed and all social media pages have been deactivated.
Many say they are unsure if they will receive a refund for the money they paid to Mr Brewer, or receive their long-awaited pictures, while it has left others scrambling for new photographers and videographers under short notice. Couples claim Mr Brewer has not returned their calls and emails after ceasing trading, despite the photographer having already received their final balance payment.
