"According to documents in the Northern District of Texas U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the owners of Yours Truly Media, Paul and Amy Bolton, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Feb. 26. The couple listed their debts as primarily business-related, with liabilities of over $2 million. The creditors' list includes photographers and videographers the couple still owed thousands of dollars to, along with 478 couples from more than 10 states."
"With her wedding day fast approaching, Kelsey Brenner of Holden was surprised when her photographer reached out a few weeks ago, warning her that the company she had secured and paid more than a $3,000 deposit to was out of business. Brenner scrambled to reach out to the company, Yours Truly Media, based in California, to get her security deposit back and help pay for another photographer."
"After posting what happened to her on Facebook, Brenner has heard horror stories of the company not paying photographers and brides who have no photos or videos from their weddings. According to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, between May 2020 and March 2026, they received 10 consumer-related complaints against Yours Truly Media."
