There is legal action underway in Dallas County against this photographer.

You actually know this guy? You mean he is a real photographer? Do tell....

I figured this person was just a CL wannabe....

LOL... yes, he is a real photographer and sadly, he gets a lot of work. I am somewhat limited to what I can say due to the legal aspect....

But, I have never spoken directly to Mark, only by way of former clients... I do know that he has left a black eye for all professional wedding photographers (and we wonder why clients are so suspect when dealing with people). On a brighter note, at least he actually showed up... even if it did take a year to get the unprocessed images, and the client never got that 40 page flush mount album they paid for. Sadly, it really could have been worse for them.

I wish I could tell more... this is a crazy story.

Enough said... sounds like the classic horror story.

Looks like he's got Stacey Reeves on his hide now... she'll tear him up.
