I didn’t really know where to post this but I want to warn other Brides and also try and find other Brides who I know for a fact have been affected by this person.
I booked Camille Waring (Photographs by Camille) to photograph our wedding on the 17th of July this year. I booked her last March and she offered a 10% Discount to pay upfront. She seemed lovely and genuine when we met her so we weren’t worried and went ahead and booked her and stupidly decided to take advantage of the offer of 10% and paid upfront.
All was ok until about 6 months later when somebody posted on a wedding forum that they had paid her upfront and she didn’t turn up for their wedding. I emailed Camille and she fobbed me off with a bit of a sob story and assured me she would 100% be at our wedding.
Fast-Forward to June this year and she emailed us to arrange a meet up pre-wedding. We suggested a time and place and she said all was fine but she had a dodgy knee so would have to rest it for a while before meeting us. When it came to a day before we were due to meet I emailed her checking she was still on to meet and she replied saying she was laid up in bed with her bad knee and couldn’t make it… I replied asking if she was definitely going to be ok for our wedding and she assured me she was and would bring a 2nd Photographer with her…
In the meantime I was a bit worried so I googled her and discovered she had changed her Company name and re-branded as ‘Kitty L’Wren’ and moved to Australia! Which explains why I only ever got emails from her at midnight.. I also found out that she had not showed up for 2 other weddings and had done other ones and they had never received photos.
So I sent her all this on an email and she completely ignored it and just said she would be at my wedding at 10:30. I replied to her to clarify a few things and she never replied. Well suffice to say she never turned up on our Wedding Day and now she is un-contactable.
So I firstly wanted to warn all other Brides about her and to ask for any other Brides she has done this to, to contact me as there a few of us that are going to take it further and the more people that report her the stronger case we will have.
So if anybody else has been affected by this woman please email me – [protected]@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks
Clare

Nice try Camille/Kitty but if you turned up for our wedding then why on earth would we have any reason to complain?! If you had Photographed our wedding then we would have no reason to complain and would be perfectly happy! I don’t really understand how you can try and justify your actions?!
And if you had actually bothered to reply to any of my emails then I wouldn’t have to write things on here! But seeing as you ignore all emails I send you this is my only way to make you see we are serious with pursuing this.
If you are so innocent then please ring me or email me with your explanation of why you failed to turn up for my wedding when I had paid you in full. Also I asked you for a contact phone number on several occasion but you never gave me one. I believe the one number that you did give out to others was a phone number for a poor man that had never heard of you but kept getting phone calls from Brides who were trying to contact you!
Its very easy to hide behind a Blog when you will only allow positive comments to be posted on there!
I look forward to hearing your explanation. I’m sure the Police and Trading Standards will too!
Clare Price. Bride 17th of July 2010.
Email - clare27c@hotmail.co.uk (Just in case you have lost my email address and that's why I haven't heard from you)
Oh Yes and in response to the line on your blog - ' Oh the power to be anonymous and to be able to post whatever you want, how empowering that must be, so I thought I will give it a shot myself'
Erm, how are we anonymous? Myself and Amanda have both put our full names and email addresses and for anybody doubting me/us I have every email ever sent as evidence! And would be happy to show anybody these..and I am happy to speak to anybody on the phone so there isn't anything anonymous about that!

Predictable with a capital P, of COURSE you were going to turn up to a wedding in the Uk this weekend, you had to! You are in a desperate situation and are trying to claw your reputation back but unfortunately it is too little too late! Anyway you have all of our money so you could afford to do it..Must be lovely earning money for nothing, Not sparing one second of a thought for us Brides that had saved our hard earned money (Through actually working) to be able to pay for our weddings.
Well I'm afraid this vain attempt at salvaging your reputation really won't work. I have 2 more emails from Brides that have fallen foul to you tonight and I have to say what I have heard from one is quite disgusting, how one woman can stoop so low is beyond me..We have had quite a progression in our case today too so its not long before you get what you deserve and hopefully will put a stop to you being able to ruin others big day ever again. Justice is always served in the end, I cannot wait for this day.
Hi michael, i am have given up long time ago but i have had at least 5 emails from victims in the past year and have managed to warn a few recently through her fb page. We all have tried to black list her through the web giving bad reviews and i keep an eye on her hoping that ONE day she will get caught once and for all. I assume you were duped by this lady?
If someone it trying to track her where about down let me know as I had dealings with her last week so can supply address and potentially a phone number (will have to find it) if this will help anyone.
November 2013 - yet another wedding Elly Mac did not turn up for - she phoned at least to say she was ill and then was on Twitter asking if everyone was having a good weekend! Her dismissive and inexperienced 'assistant' turned up but persuaded my daughter that she shouldn't wear her grandmothers pearls- eh? Nothing can get that day back for visitors from France, Australia and America. My daughter is still too stressed by it to discuss any more . We had a refund eventually of £150 and the promise of a complimentary photo album- still waiting. We were told twice that things had been sent to the wrong address - first the thank you cards and then later the minimum refund. Does she forget which excuses she's already used? We were told the majority of her fee was for editing- not one photo on the memory stick eventually received after numerous excuses had been edited. This woman ruins the most important day of people's lives - she needs to be stopped.
Hey everyone. I know where Camille is, if you are still looking for her.
Hey guys - if you're still looking for her, try her "other" line of work - https://www.adultwork.com/ViewProfile.asp?UserID=971646
