Wedding Photo Scandal in North Carolina | Winston–Salem News

A North Carolina wedding photography business, Holly Christina Photography, has collapsed—leaving hundreds of couples without their photos and thousands of dollars in unpaid deposits. Owners Holly and Christopher Ayscue now face felony charges for obtaining property under false pretenses, risking over three years in prison. The scandal began when a bride filed a complaint over $5,600 she never got back; the couple claimed health issues caused the shutdown but remained vague about returning photos or refunds. Over 200 complaints totaling more than $750,000 have flooded the North Carolina Department of Justice, which gave the Ayscues a month to resolve the issue—or face legal consequences. With no response from the defendants, a default has been entered, setting the stage for a judge’s final ruling. The Ayscues return to court August 27th as customers await answers—and justice.
