I am offline for a few days I am aware I have multiple emails and messages but I’m not in the right frame of mind to read them. I have a focus on today and want to just get things done. I have the galleries, the USBs arrived, and it’s all getting done today. I am hoping to complete everything today so I’ll be offline so I’m not IGNORING anyone.

My business is closed and I will post an update on that tomorrow.

I will be in touch.

Thanks

IMPORTANT -

I’m aware that 80% or more of my bookings have cancelled my services, however I have been contacting everyone who hasn’t cancelled and iv had no response.

If ur a bride or groom who booked my services and are continuing to have me photograph your wedding please get in contact. We have some appointments to go over and lists to discuss so it’s very important you reach out.

Even if the Facebook drama has scared you off, if u have chosen to go elsewhere please respond and let me be aware of the changes so I don’t spam you with emails ect.

IF I DONT HEAR FROM YOU, ILL PUT IT DOWN TO YOU NO LONGER NEEDING MY SERVICES.

So apparently I’m in hiding 😆 - I don’t need to justify myself but I will. Iv stayed off Facebook because it’s embarrassing the lengths people will go to for a few likes.

I’m not hiding, I’m simply doing the weddings that have been booked for years/months.

When I said I was closing, I wasn’t lying. I have ended my career In photography! I also wasn’t lying when I said ALL my bookings that were booked were still going ahead.

Wether you want to believe that or not that’s down to you, I’m done trying to prove anything.

Iv stayed off social media, iv done my work and I haven’t cancelled anyone. If you have cancelled me then that’s on you, not me. I wish u all the best on your wedding day.

Don’t try and get a rise out of me, because you won’t get one. Please don’t waste your time.

I’ll continue to do the weddings that have been booked.

Have a lovely day 😊

Let me set something straight here seen as I’m famous once again 😂

I never asked anyone to pay for photographs- everyone contacted has their gallery with free downloads.

As I’m deleting hardrives and back ups that I have been paying for months I offered Keepsake Backup USBs to anyone who wanted one! Yes at a cost, iv paid for months to keep images on galleries and stored, not to mention my time making and delivering USBs.

Not one person was MADE to pay for their wedding photos.

I’m getting tired of these lame posts being made have a problem contact me. Anything for a witch hunt and Facebook likes 😆

Give up.

PAGE WILL BE DELETED AS WELL AS MY PERSONAL ONE.

I’m not a saint, I have completely lost myself but I want you to imagine my life right now. I don’t purposely go out my way to hurt anyone. Iv been through so much since December that I’m not even sure who I am anymore. I’m not playing the “poor me” card I don’t blame anyone for talking about me or anything I take full responsibility for the people I have hurt and the people who are hurting and worrying.

A false allegation was made and plastered everywhere on scammers pages, this statement was false and all evidence is there to prove this, I spoke to the scammers page admin and was told they were entitled to their opinion regardless of me having evidence than every detail posted about me was false. So this then got everyone and their dog talking and slandering me online. I understand you get trolls ect but this was the start of my nightmare!

In the space of a week I had 80% of my bookings cancelled due to this said post. I had people talking about me who have known me my full life, I got death threats, I got prank calls, emails, texts, messages every 5 minutes every day all day. They all wanted deposits back, deposits that were not refundable, or possible to refund as this was my income over the years. So then there was more posts iv stole money creating even more stories making yet another alarm causing more cancellations.

What people don’t understand is a deposit isn’t refunded at all from any supplier or service, I’m not even going into the deposit side of things. It’s the constantly posting about me making me out to be this worldwide scammer.

I worked hard in college to graduate in photography, I helped anyone, I worked for nothing. I build my own clients, I spoke the truth and I loved every single session I done. It’s not easy it’s extremely difficult.

I have suffered depression since I was a child and anxiety since around 2019 this isn’t a poor me comment this is my life, and anyone who deals with anxiety will relate. I don’t want to post my personal life but I’m so sick fed up of being told I’m playing a poor me story when it’s nothing of the sort.

I am medicated to the full dose my body can handle, I have 6 week check ins with my mental health doctor and I can’t explain fully what other. Things I need to work on. BUT I can tell you that I cry every day, I’m scared every day, I’m housebound because it’s the only place I feel safe. I don’t want to talk about anything happy because it will be a sin I can’t laugh or smile or post anything about my daughter because I shouldn’t I should be in a room in darkness and hiding.

I have so many clients cancel, so many that I can’t even tell u who hasn’t and I have 1000000 tabs open in my brain, every time I work on one tab I have a new one arise. I don’t know what day of the week it is, I don’t know how to sleep, concentrate or anything that keeps me functioning.

I have been so unwell. The thought of leaving my house puts me into a state of anxiety I can’t breathe I’m dizzy I’m sick and my eyes are all over the place. I wish I was lying and I wish I didn’t upset anyone.

I know iv let people down, I own up to that, I have missed weddings, I have got cover and I do owe people invoices for covering me. Alongside all of this I have always cared and worried more about my clients than my own health.

I have to take time off social media, I have to work on my health and my head because I’m a ghost of who I once was and I’m scared.

I don’t want anyone to mail me abuse I know I’m a terrible person and I know the world is awful with me in. But all I want is people to stop harassing me, stop calling me and hanging up, stop the rude emails and please stop signing me up to clinincs.

Iv had 3 clinics contact me after they received my application for removal of ge***al warts, another for a face lift and another for face reconstruction. People are sending me emails of fat content, and I’m a pig and I’m a loser and I’m not worth anything. If I’m so unwell why don’t I end my life, do everyone a favour and die and the list goes on.

I’m not ok, I’m really not. But I’m a human being, I can’t imagine anyone would be able to work or function properly with this amount of harassment on the daily.

I am sorry, I’m so sorry for anyone I have hurt, anyone who cancelled due to these posts.

I am trying to honour the bookings I have and even still there cancelling so I have hit the bottom and I am sorry to u all.

I am coming off all social media, I need to work on me and my health. To the bookings I have please email me at [email protected]

I will leave this post on the page for a few days to reach everyone but I am removing all my pages even my personal page.

MY CLIENTS WHO STAYED JUST EMAIL ME CONFIRMATION THAT U STILL WISH ME TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR WEDDING THATS THE ONLY CONFIRMATION I WILL HAVE.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, long but real post from me.

I have been in the wedding industry for years and have had a lot happen to me since a witch hunt occurred last year. One thing after another but my business in photography isn’t my future anymore, the health issues I have now after all of this has left me completely useless, I suffer daily and have to think of my health now. I want my life back.

I’m looking to train someone interested in photography for free. In the chance that when you’re trained and fully confident and producing great work you will take all my bookings to build your reputation and work skill.

If when you are ready and wish to take my bookings I will include all the equipment you need to keep you going and getting started. Camera, equipment, MacBook ect.

Or if there is any new photographers looking to build portfolio and want my bookings and equipment.

Serious people only.

Direct message me.

This has been really hard for me to do but I know I have to own up to my mistakes.

After months of online trolling and harassment I have struggled a lot with my mental health I have lost myself if I’m honest.

I have so much going on in my head, I have a million tabs wide open and only one of me.

I was once a happy, creative, organised individual. One false accusation caused a witch hunt and all this started, now I’m riddled with anxiety and depression, I don’t know what days I’m on, I don’t know who I am as a person.
Iv completely lost myself.

I am taking this platform to apologise profusely to absolutely every single person I have hurt, everyone waiting on things, everyone waiting on edits ect. Everyone who I have let down, everyone awaiting refunds I’m so so sorry. I know that I have let you all down. That isn’t who I am and I’m so sorry that iv let my head get the better of me.

I’m not blaming anyone but ME I know I’m wrong and I know it’s on me.

Please know that I am sorry and I’ll always try to fix my problems.

I’m taking time to work on my health and I will be in contact with you all.

It’s very rarely decor makes me excited but this just had me in awe. The theme throughout this full wedding was amazing! So soft and subtle but absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍

Bride getting married at edinburgh castle - I’m not sure if you have deleted social media. However I can’t find you or our conversation. Please email me @ [email protected]

I will no longer be replying to any posts or questions on my business page. After the abuse I took yesterday I had no option but to involve the police.

People can threaten me, but don’t involve my family or mention my child! That’s when I draw the line.

I want to also say that the people who cancelled me due to this witch hunt stop telling people I never turned up you refused the service not me.

I have over 100 screenshots sent to me and the vile language out of grown adults men and women baffles me.

As well as leaving reviews everywhere and saying you hope nobody books me ever again, they wouldn’t be able to as I no longer take bookings or do any new weddings so please don’t waste your time.

I have took responsibility for my poor communication skills but as for me stealing money I done no such thing you paid for a service that you no longer want. That’s on you not me.

What baffles me the most is the paragraph posts that people have uploaded anonymously thinking I wouldn’t know who it was. Then to email me a really nice message? Don’t for a second think I can’t see everything I have people sending me screenshots left right and centre.

The reason I’m not retaliating through social media is because that’s exactly what you all want.

This post is to make everyone aware that I know what’s going on, and it will take a lot more than name calling, and threats to scare me I’v been through a hell of a lot more.

Don’t email me, don’t phone me or mail me I will be in contact when iv heard back from the police, after being advised that they take cyber bullying very seriously I’m guessing I’ll have a lot of people to contact.

The she stole money to go to Turkey is getting boring now. Like I said before I’m not justifying myself to anyone. What I do in my life has nothing to do with anyone.

I take responsibility for my lack of communication to clients have always admitted this was my downfall, but that’s all I’m taking responsibility for.

I never cancelled anyone, I don’t two weddings last week that were booked and honoured because that’s exactly what I said I was doing, honouring bookings. But of course the new gossip in the Scotland scammers is “ she done two weddings last week” she’s a joke! I would be spoke about if I never turned up to honour the booking, but I’m also slandered for actually doing the job - can’t win 😆 it’s actually laughable now.

“ can I freak her out before before exposing her” by a grown man!

“ she wants to chill out on the scran “ also a man

“She doesn’t deserve kids “ a women
“ I feel sorry for her child with a mum like that”

“Let the fat cow die on the surgery table” - a women

“ let’s all rally up and scare her into giving money back” a grown man!

“ she isn’t getting away with this she’s messed with the wrong person”

Listen your threats have all been reported to the police, deposits are deposits for a reason, you cancelled me and that’s the last I’m even saying it.

I haven’t stole money, I haven’t paid for surgery with peoples money, I haven’t scammed anyone and I won’t be posting any of this again.

Fill your boots, send abuse, send it all if it makes u feel better. But unless you have proof that any of the above accusations are true please please please show me. I have my proof so I would like to know where you got yours.

I no longer have my business so I want to make a few things clear no professionalism here because iv just about had enough!

MARK WEBSTER - booked me a while back and him and his wife constantly whatsapping me emails phoning ect ect. This was overwhelming and I never scheduled a call, they wanted a refund and I refunded. I offered help on a new photographer ect. That was the last I heard from them ( and I must mention this was months and months ago) I then receive a WhatsApp for the wife end of last year with I quote “ how dare you call my husband a liar, I’m going to ruin you” now at this point it had been such a long time since they were refunded, also now married and therefor communication was not a thing. So this couple who also go by other names ( but I’m a scammer??) months and months after the wedding decide to post my name all over wedding scammer pages- do as you please but atleast tell the truth and stop creating a witch hunt. Sad that people have nothing better to with themselves.

The posts that have then been added about me not turning up? I haven’t made one wedding due to being ill, I’m human and these things happen. Couple was refunded and offered help to find a photographer however they did already get one.

The posts that I’m a fraud I’m sure it was a lady Catherine that posted that, Catherine said I am a fraud, I am married and I ask people to send money to my husbands bank account.

My name is not paige, I’m called Sophie and I live in wales? R u having a laugh. I’m paige I’m 32 I’m a single mum and I have never been married in fact I have been single for almost 10 years!

I’m not perfect and I have never claimed to be, but the fact that people believe this garbage and continue to go on a witch hunt and add arms and legs to a story baffles me. Stop being a keyboard gangster and message me directly if you want to address something. This was my business not a person you use for likes on a post. It’s disgusting.

Iv closed my business, indeed I have because I’m a human being and don’t deserve to be treated that way. My communication skills are crap, I admit that but don’t say I ghosted you when the last bit of contact was - I’m going offline for a bit your booking is fine please don’t worry.

THEN go on Facebook and say I’m ghosting you, I’m a fraud, iv scammed you. I think the majority of people on these pages need to actually learn a thing or two about scammers! For one they will not use their own name, 2- they would not respond to anything 3- they would not use there personal bank accounts 4 they would deactivate every platform they have and create a new one, they wouldn’t have portfolios of work to show, 5- they wouldn’t have there contact number still working. Seriously the group says jump and use all say how high!

And to make it even better the majority of the comments on the post are photographers, saying how bad they feel for you and how disgusting I am, but they’ll throw in a cheeky 10% discount your way because of how bad I treated you. Wow honestly, not just joining the witch hunt but advertising at my expense 😆

I’m forever grateful to the lovely couples who have not retaliated to this and have continued to stick by me, your wedding photos will be amazing I promise you that. The people who have brought me down and lied on Facebook shame on you.

Deposits are placed to secure your date, same way with any wedding supplier. Go and put 2K down on your dream wedding venue, read a bad review about them and try cancelling them and demand a deposit back and see how far you get.

Deposits are a source of income, a deposit secures a date, a deposit is in no form refundable.

If anyone wishes to message me FACEBOOK have closed my messenger not me. If anyone feels like they want to retaliate to this post please feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Thank you ☺️
