If you've been wronged by Kristen Hudson, I urge you to submit a complaint to the BBB: https://www.bbb.org/file-a-complaint And the Florida Attorney General: http://myfloridalegal.com/contact.nsf/contact?Open&Section=Attorney_General I booked Conch Republic Photography back in June 2022, to shoot my elopement in Key West on September 2, 2022. I communicated with her via email, signed a contract and paid a $300 deposit (via Venmo *red flag*) to secure the photography date of September 2, 2022. The remaining balance ($1500 - Harbor Package) was to be paid in full by August 15 per the contract. On June 4, just a few days after paying the deposit, Kristen Hudson (aka Conch Republic Photography) began pressuring me to pay the full balance. She sent me numerous emails urging me to pay my invoice immediately, although it wasn't due for another few months *Red flag*. I paid the $1500 in full, via quickbooks, just to get the annoying invoice emails to stop. I attempted to contact with her closer to the wedding to discuss the details of the photo shoot. I had a difficult time reaching her over email and phone, and when searching online for another phone number to call, I stumbled upon numerous yelp reviews from recent months (Jan-July 2022) where customers explained that Kristen was difficult to contact, was flaky/late to weddings, and in some cases never even delivered photos that were promised and paid for I was eventually able to schedule a call with her on August 9, 2022, where I informed her that I would be canceling the photo services, and I requested a refund of the balance minus the deposit ($1500). I was clear that I did not expect the $300 deposit back, just the remaining $1500 for services not rendered. She agreed she would pay the balance back. I followed up every few days until I finally heard from her on August 30, when she sent me a refund receipt, stating she sent funds back when she did not. Yes, it's Conch Republic LLC. No, she doesn't have a business license.

About three months ago I went on vacation with my boyfriend and his family to the Florida Keys. At the time we were in the keys my boyfriend's brother signed a contract and paid the down payment to Conch Republic Photography to photograph the very special day as he proposed to his fiancé as we also had family pictures taken. As followed by the contract she was paid in full before the scheduled shoot. The day of the shoot there was a lot of trouble getting ahold of Kristen Hudson. After multiple phone calls, and messages from multiple family members and myself Kristen finally called us back maybe an hour before the shoot's scheduled time. Upon arrival, Kristen was 15 minutes late and we were promised extra digital copies. As stated in the contract she also verbally told us that our pictures would be released on the digital gallery for us within 2-3 weeks. Over three weeks went by with us yet to receive our pictures. Our family had reached out to her multiple times as we all were eager to see our pictures and it was past date for the digital release to be given to us. For the delay in release and the trouble contacting her, once again Kristen had promise us additional digital copies that would be added to our package. Almost three months later with trying countless times to contact Kristen, we have yet to receive any pictures and we have only received excuses such as "being sick" or "busy" as the excuse of to why we have not received any pictures. For example last week we contacted her and she said she was sick and would give them to us the next day and we have yet to receive them. As I myself am a photographer of over 10 years, I kept tabs on this situation and on her photography page to see if anything had been released but it wasn't and instead she was posting other sessions she had after us. I have heard from others that they have had the same problems with her continuously. I would absolutely NEVER recommend Kristen Hudson and Conch Republic Photography to anyone who is looking for a photographer in the Florida keys area.
