Excellent service
Paula was fantastic at my Mums 80th. She went above and beyond what was expected and the photographs are excellent. Lovely lady too.

This Trustpilot listing was created by an Oldham wedding photographer for the purpose of uploading false negative reviews to damage my business, Ollievision. I have no genuine client reviews on this site. It's taken me a while to claim the account so that I could respond to the false reviews. Some of my responses naming my stalkers have been removed so it looks like I haven't responded. Please see my blog for more information about this, there are several posts relating to me being harassed by a competitor. http://ww2.ollievision.co.uk/wp/index.php/carlo-saleminetti-scam-false-reviews/

Avoid at all costs
Avoid at all costs, completely deluded with extreme views. Not at all professional and I certainly wouldn’t want to risk my wedding day by having someone this unhinged as my photographer!

You are the crackpot anti-vaxer I blocked on Facebook! You've never been one of my clients. I note that the only other review on your fake profile is raging about Tesco's "discriminatory covid pass."
Best in the business

Unprompted review
Reply from Wedding Photography by Ollievision
This is a false review in the name of my husband, Nick Brown. My husband does not use Trust Pilot and has not reviewed my business. It is yet another attempt to discredit me so that they can say I get family to review my business positively. (At the time of writing it is a 5 star review saying "Best in the business.")
I can only assume it is yet another false review by Claire Potter and Carlo Saleminetti who operate the following photography brands:
Squashed Apple Limited http://www.squashedapple.co.uk (now closed)
Bella Grace Photography https://www.bellagraceimages.co.uk/
Photographydeals.co.uk https://www.photographydeals.co.uk/
Bambino Tutto (kids clothing, now down) https://www.facebook.com/bambinotutto
https://www.facebook.com/Photographydeals/
Brides can satisfy themselves that Carlo's allegations against me are false by checking out Carlo's own clients post about her court hearing here https://www.facebook.com/toyah.stuart/posts/10208067049471410 Toyah won a £1500 CCJ in court but Carlo has still failed to pay it. He claims to be unable to pay as his company has failed. The Squashed Apple website has been down for several months.
Another genuine client testimonial for Carlo is by Stacey https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1101436650283391&id=100012511995243 - she has lost almost £2000 and has no wedding photos or video from her wedding after several years wait.
Carlo's client Louise's testimonial: https://www.facebook.com/annalouise.hayhurst.10/posts/2681952695403976
The recent court claim by Lyndsey (another client suing Carlo!) was lost but she did not have any help from the Wedding Scammers team or myself. Sadly, her claim was incorrectly prepared as it could have been won if she'd had the correct advice.
Carlo has been harassing me online since Feb 2020 when he incorrectly assumed that I was being booked as an expert witness for Toyah's court claim. His many fake reviews about my company are regarding witness intimidation, rather than any legitimate complaint he has against me.
Carlo phoned me on 11th June 2021, threatening to "come and sort me out face to face." My husband overheard the call and Carlo has since tried intimidating him too. Police are aware and a full call recording is available. Ladies, don't take any risks - please contact the police and make a crime report if you are having any problems with Carlo Saleminetti. Apparently there's a long list of abuses against women going back years. You need to report him under his current name AND his previous name of Carl Salem Omar. A previous victim of Carlo's claims he changed his name by deed poll in an attempt to pass himself off as Italian around 12 years ago.

Disappointed
3rd update, July 2021 - Paula, again, I am a genuine customer. Again, it has taken you months to respond. Again, I am not willing to disclose all my details on here as I wish to protect my identity online. Readers may do as they please, but I would strongly suggest not going with Ollievision as even now, years after our wedding, I become stressed when interacting with Paula. A friend of mine is currently planning their wedding and specifically asked who my photographer was as they found her to be so rude at the wedding as wish to avoid her, I also received negative comments from guests on the day. We can keep to-ing and fro-ing but I honestly am a genuine customer who was, and still is, thoroughly disappointed with the service and photographs (finally) received.
2nd update, April 2021 - In response to your update, again, I am a genuine customer who attempted to communicate their concerns and who wishes to provide this review for any prospective customers, who are welcome to read my other reviews to see I am not a fake account who has targeted you and/or other companies.
Update April 2021 - Paula, thank you for your reply to this after several months. I'm afraid I am a genuine customer who was disappointed with both your service and photos. I leave honest reviews, positive and negative, and in this case feel a negative review is very much justified. I haven't listed my personal details on the review as I wish to protect my identity on the internet. I did try to communicate my concerns with you at the time but found you to be extremely patronising so did, possibly unfairly, give up. Also, the damage had already been done as it wouldn't have been possible to redo the photos or undo the offence caused to the guests. I would, however, have appreciated a review similar to this before I booked with you. The fact you don't allow reviews on your Facebook page speaks volumes.
I'm afraid I'd have to agree with the review by D Cuddy. I was not impressed at all by the customer service element offered, the approach to work was disappointing to say the least, I do very much regret my choice of photographer. The photos were also just 'OK', certainly not worth the amount paid. There were only about three 'must have' photos, none of which were achieved.
