Oregon wedding photographer sues for defamation - The Oregonian

Earlier this month, we learned about a wedding photographer being awarded over $1 million in a defamation lawsuit against a couple who ruined her photography business. Now another photographer is suing for defamation, albeit with a much lower target reward of under $100,000. The plaintiff in the new suit is Oregon wedding photographer Ashley Lacy and she claims that a director in her local parks district sent out an email that attacked Lacy and led to her losing business and having to leave the area to start over. The timing of this lawsuit coming less than two weeks after Dallas photographer Andrea Polito being awarded over $1 million is, according to Lacy's lawyer, "wholly coincidental."
