Callous wedding videography company harassed dead bride's family

A wedding photography company refused to refund a man after his bride-to-be died in a car crash in February. Now, Copper Stallion Media (Dallas, TX) is under fire for its callous response.

"They said they would extend my service to my next wedding which was very insensitive thing to tell me," Justin Montney told our ABC sister station, KRDO-TV, in Colorado Springs.

The company at one point redirected its business website to a new site entirely dedicated to harassing Montney. In one social media post the company wrote “We hope you sob and cry all day for what would have been your wedding day."

And in response to Alexis Wyatt’s mom, who is grieving the death of her daughter, the company wrote “nonrefundable means you cannot get your money back, even from the grave.”

Calls and emails to Copper Stallion Media and the owner Jesse J. Clark were not returned.

They don't have to give the money back. Nonrefundable does indeed mean nonrefundable (and they're probably hurting list so many other businesses)... but they should have left it at that. This is likely to cost them far more in future business than what they retain here.

On edit... whoops! He doesn't care. He's in the scam-and-run business.

But still stupid.

They could have worked something out without making a horse’s behind out of himself. I suspect that he will see a rather negative impact from his foolishness.
