Couple Uses Their Popularity To Ruin Wedding Photographer’s Image For $125 And Gets Caught Up In Legal Trouble

On Purpose

“We are hoping that our story makes the news and completely ruins her business,” Neely Moldovan sent many texts like these to many of her friends. These texts were used as evidence in the court to show the couple’s mean intentions for the photographer.

Two Years Of Shame

Andrea’s life became miserable as she remembered: “For two and half years I walked around my daughter’s school feeling ashamed and embarrassed. They know I’ve won now.” For a woman who never compromised with her self-respect, this was the worst moment.

Attorney Dave Wishnew

Detailed by Andrea attorney Dave Wishnew, mentioned the social media response “instantly burned down the reputation that Andrea built up over 12 years. She didn’t book any more weddings after that. It was done. The negative reviews destroyed her reputation, and in a business that is largely word-of-mouth, no one was referring her.”

Jury’s Decision

When the trial was over, a Dallas County jury supported Andrea’s case. She was awarded a seven-figure amount. Andrea said, “When the jury came out and said that, it felt like I got ‘me’ back, and that’s all I ever wanted. I just wanted my name back, for me.”

$1.08  Million Worth Damage

The judge made the decision in Andrea’s favor. She couldn’t be happier, all her stress and burden finally came to an end. Andrea was compensated for her loss with $1.08 million. She started her work all over again and this time with more confidence than ever.
