Horrible Engagement Photographer, Miserable human being, Unprofessional and overpriced mannerism North Canton Ohio

Maybe a thief. Maybe not. Even murderers have opinions.

The evidence on this so-called lady is overwhelming. Her character is being hardened by each and every post.

I urge you to use a medium like www.TheKnot.com and all other places she advertizes - to rate her services. All services she has provided you with, since she's not just a photographer :)

probably from another photo thief outed on Corey's Stop Stealing Photos Website. I challenge the author of this report to provide a redacted copy of the contract from when they hired Corey. If you can't... it's libelous.... or as we have now come to realize it's called "defamating" courtesy of a troll out of FL. I am a big fan of Corey's personal photography and her dedication to outing fauxtographers that think it'a all right to steal other photographers work, eliminate their watermark, and slap their own label on it in an attempt to sell their sub-standard services to the unsuspecting consumer. Where I come from we call this "fraud". Too bad whoever this is continues to take bad advice from other trolls that were featured as photo thieves. IMHO this is nothing more than a revenge post.

As a professional wedding photographer myself, Corey Ann has done wonders for our professional community. She doesn't strive on "ruining people's lives". She outs people who steal other people's photos and claim them as their own. Don't want to be outed? The solution is simple - don't steal other people's work. It really is that simple.

Anybody attacking her is defending thieves. This thieves defraud potential customers by claiming they took the photos you see on their website when indeed they are not. Those fake photographers are unable to reproduce the work people see on their website and scamming people out of their money. They steal, lie and deceive and not only cause damage to the couples falling for these scammers but also to the industry itself.

This report may be from a previosly outed theif, but it has merrit in that it is letting potential clients know what kind of person this photographer appears to be.  Corey of Corey Ann Photography in Ohio, spends every free moment destroying lives all in the name of self proclaimed justice.  She thrives on other peoples misery.

If a photographer wants to seek justice for photos stolen, then they themselves should take the matter in their own hands. Many times, the original photographers don't even know that Corey has taken up their cause for them.

The premise of Corey's blog is not a bad one at all.  It's the methods and the fact that she turns a blind eye when others are ridiculing, posting off topic information, bringing family members in, posting every horrible thing they can find on these people, whether it is factual or not, many times causing pain and distress that they cannot even begin to realize.

It is no different than a business owner allowing a dangerous situation to remain on his public property and then being held responsible when someone is harmed.  This is indeed the scenario I see playing out in court.

StopStealingPhotos IS NOT a recognized media source, it is a self proclaimed media source, and therefore not guarenteed the protections that recognized sources have.  In fact, it is not even an LLC or anything, so everything she owns is at stake.

Corey has even resorted to begging for donations.  She has suceeded and raised over 10K, but it will take a lot more than that once all the damage and harm caused via her blog is revealed in the courts.

I caution anyone that is considering hiring this mediocre photographer to consider her online activities and think twice about inviting this craziness into your event.  Another thing to consider, Corey has lawsuits against her pending.  Should you hire her services, she could very well be shut down before your event happens.  Think Twice about hiring this self-proclaimed avenger of the industry.She is feeling very victorious right now because she has raised money for her defense, but she will quickly burn through those funds and still be defending herself.  All it takes is for 1 suit to be filed, then the others will follow, and she will be continuosly be defending herself.  1 suit will start the domino effect.  

 This woman has never been a customer of Corey ann's. She was outed as a thief and is now trying to get revenge. She's that idiotic that she's written this report and another one under 'Alabama'. The creativeness shocks me. People will see through your lies you pathetic excuse for a human being. She has no evidence of this so called booking or wedding for that matter.

This is yet another false report filed against Corey Ann by both a coward and a thief. The author of this report is named Julie and is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and evidence of her being a thief can be found here: http://stopstealingphotos.com/flash-photography-toronto-ontario/.

She has NEVER been a client of Corey's as she obviously has no idea about her business (Corey doesn't offer a 5000 dollar package). The only interaction Corey and this thief have had is the thief stealing Corey's work and claiming it as her own and Corey exposing her on her legit site stopstealingphotos.com as she does with all thieves.

This pathetic thief has done nothing but try and cover up the truth of her thievery and her despicable and cowardly behaviour and now she like many other scumbags are trying to discredit Corey for doing the right thing. 

So to all who read this report: do NOT believe a single word of it as it is nothing more than a pathetic attempt at slander.

Clearly, this seems to be the work of those with much free time and a monotonous agenda. Perhaps going forward, Corey Ann can be kinder to all those she deals with, to avoid defending herself and her devotees.

I looked into her website called stopstealingphotos, and indeed, she spends enormous amount of time online, looking for the AHA moment when a photographer uses someone else's work as their own. She has clearly taken the defense of the ripped photographers upon herself, bravely shielding the site's IP (192.185.198.100).

The following is my take on all this garbage - and I do regret spending so much time on this already!Perhaps in a perfect world, having a forum where photographers are outsted is a splendid idea. Perhaps promoting bashing, hurtful and biased comments and deleting positive comments alerts you to a person with multiple personalities.

-> Here are some great examples of her posting information, and standing silent as group members encourage the outsted photographer to commit suicide: http://stopstealingphotos.com/teresa-blau-kurs-york-ny/

-> And here's another one she's after (A photographer who purchases stock images to enhance his work in compilation): http://stopstealingphotos.com/cj-photography-aka-ryan-christoph-images/

So this is where you exercise your own judgement. Are you looking to hire a photographer who is happy and pleasant and nice, or are you looking to hire a photographer who sits in her little secluded hole, digs for dirt and publicly airs it online?

Everything has a purpose in life. I think Corey Ann found her calling. If law enforcement declines your app Corey, try going for jail guard jobs.

If what the original poster wrote is true, they should provide evidence -- the signed contract, proof of payment, and so on. It's my understanding Corey Ann Photography doesn't provide a $5000 package, so that in and of itself is extremely suspect.

A person outed by the well respected web site Photo Stealers threatened to post a negative report on here if she didn't get her listing taken down. I believe this report is the one threatened by this individual.

I have known Corey for quite some time, and have always found her to be a person of integrity and compassion, and she is a wonderful photographer.

In short, I firmly believe the report is a complete fabrication.

This rip-off report is not made by an actual bride but the owner of InaFlash Photography out of Toronto who has been outed as a photo stealer and now made this report in retaliation.

 Corey Ann is a professional Canton Ohio wedding photographer and has never left a bride stand in the rain, or acted unprofessionally in any manner. The fact that many of our industry's best wedding photographers support her against this false accusations, which constitute libel at this point, shows the reputation Corey has in the wedding photography community.

This is not a bride but a "photographer" who got caught stealing photos and claiming them as their own - which has been also reported on in the press when it originally happened:.newsnet5.com/money/consumer/troubleshooter/north-canton-photographer-issues-consumer-warning-about-photo-stealingww

It's sad when someone has to stoop to this level.  I feel sorry for the author of this report as they have been advised by a pretty disgusting individual to take this pathetic route.  

What date was Corey supposed to have attended your wedding?  What date did she take photos of your engagement sessions?  Please post a link to the bland photos so people can judge for themselves.

Alternatively, grow up and stop following the advice of a really bitter individual.  You can be better than this.

While I don't doubt that this report was posted out of spite, I do encourage any potential clients of Corey Ann Photography to do their research.  Corey's activites outside of her photography include 'outing' alleged photo thieves.  Sounds ok, right?  Well, in the process, she allows and encourages the online harrasment of the people she 'outs' to the point that many have suffered emotional damages, as is documented in comments on her blog.  Not all the 'thieves' listed on her blog are horrible evil people constantly stealing photos for their advertising.  Many have made the mistake 1 time and have been bashed, threatened, ridiculed, and more and it doesn't let up. Even bringing their spouses and family members into the barrage of attacks.

Not saying that what they did is right, but Corey and her lynch mob are relentless and many times bring personal lives, information, and things that have nothing to do with the alleged offense onto the blog, opening the featured person up to more ridicule and badgering.  With exception of one photographer, these people did not steal from Corey and yet she finds it her mission to fight these battles for others, many times the original photographer does not even know this war is being waged in their name.

Corey, according to her own blog, is currently being threatened with more than one lawsuit.  One of these days, one of those suits will stick, especially any suits arising from the many past blog listings where the offenders were threatened and ridiculed to the point of severe emotional and physical distress.  Does Corey care about the effects their methods have on others?  It is not apparant if she does.  She justifies all the attacks and destruction by what she alleges the offender has done.  

DO YOUR RESEARCH.  Do you really want to hire a photographer for your wedding that takes pleasure in other people's misery?  Your wedding is personal and private.  Hiring her could potentially land you and your wedding plastered all over the internet and reports like this.  Do not invite drama to your most intimate day.

Simply put, we were very pleased with the work we received from Corey Ann before, during and after our wedding.  We found all interactions (online, via phone and in person) to be delightful and felt our selection was the right one.

We were getting married in Cleveland but we live out of town and so Corey made herself available to meet her and discuss what we were looking for.  She carefully detailed what we would get as far as coverage on the day of and what to expect following the wedding.  

The day of our ceremony, Corey arrived promptly to begin shooting my wife getting ready and provided an assistant to help cover our day.  Both Corey and her assistant captured our day with wonderful shots that met or exceeded our expectations.  Corey has a great eye for detail not just in what she captures but just making sure the day goes as smoothly as possible.  For example we had 200 cupcakes stacked on a tier for our guests.  Corey and our day-of-coordinator both realized the tier was not centered on the table and on their own initiative, they carefully took every cupcake off, recentered the tier and then restacked the cupcakes.  

Since we were from out-of-town it was difficult for us to utilize our engagement session which came with our package.  Corey was gracious in accepting our alternate idea which was to shoot us the day after the ceremony in downtown Cleveland.  That means that after a long day of shooting our wedding, Corey got back up early in the morning to drive and park in downtown Cleveland and shoot pictures of us interacting with tailgaiting football fans.  (I'm guessing most photographers would be less likely to agree to this).

Corey provided our finished images in a timely manner and we even got to start seeing some of them online before we were even a few days into our Honeymoon.

There's no doubt in my mind that any of the negative comments from this report are true.  This is someone upset over something completely unrelated who is looking to make things difficult for a very sweet and talented person.

 So this complaint is just another photo thief that Corey outed on Photo Stealers website. It's pathetic. Corey is the pillar of integrity. Just look at the real reviews on her website, the knot, and " the best of 2015" sites. This person threatened to do this if their outing as a thief was not removed. It's sad these people are allowed to do this. Unfortunately for them, if Corey suffers any loss of income from this, this person is legally liable and has opened themselves up to be sued for those losses.

This Ripoff Report was written by a woman I outed at Photo Stealers.  She stole an image of mine and when asked to take the image down she claimed that the image was hers and she took it as a complement that I stole it from her.  I made a post about her on Photo Stealers and eventually her web hosts complied with the DMCA takedown notices and took the stolen images down.  

She threatened to write the Ripoff Report when I refused to take her post down a year later.  She has made good on that threat.  

I have never no-showed at a wedding, nor have I ever had the kind of engagement session this woman describes.
