Shepley wedding photographer taken to court over fourth month album wait

AN angry mum says her daughter’s dream wedding has turned into a nightmare after they were forced to wait months for their wedding photos.

Roz Mears, from Birdsedge says her daughter Steph’s £20,000 wedding has been soured by a stalemate with Shepley photographer John Edler.

Nearly four months after the fairytale wedding at Nostell Priory, Ms Mears says she has still not received £500 worth of wedding photos.

And she said, despite more than 50 phone calls and emails, it took three months for her daughter to get hers.

Now after months of, she claims, broken promises Ms Mears, 45, has launched court action in a bid for a refund.

She said: “It was a dream wedding with horse and carriages, the full works – and we’ve got no memories of it.

“Our bridal and parents’ albums were supposed to arrive four weeks after the wedding.

“He was great at first but we started having doubts about him because he kept saying the albums would be here in two weeks and then they wouldn’t arrive. We’d phone him and get no response.
