The newlyweds became impatient after the wedding while waiting for the pictures to be ready, so they inquired about the photos. Polito said she was still waiting on a few items from the couple in order to finish the pictures. But, the couple was not satisfied with this answer and began contacting local news stations saying Polito was holding their photos hostage. The newlyweds took it a step further by making negative false claims on social media, blogs, and posting bad reviews on Yelp. This instantly began to ruin Polito’s reputation as a photographer. The couple also did an interview on their local NBC channel at the start of Polito’s primary booking season and as a result Polito received just 2 wedding photography gigs instead of her usual 75-100.
