Guess they don’t have the luck of the Irish today.
This photographer has been contacted about their stolen images but chose to ignore the requests to take the images down. Ironically this photographer duo just went to WPPI “to get better”.

I didn’t get a chance to source the text earlier when finding the links and posting the image sources but am going back through what remains live and sourcing the text. There is a lot of plagiarism, including their About Us page on their website (at this time, still is there). There’s also at least one two reviews that has been plagiarized.
Update 03/18/2014 @ 11:30AM
Found a few more links, more plagiarism on their website and PDF’d some of their blogs.
Update 03/18/2014 @ 12:00PM
Found an ad they published in The Bump with stolen images.
Update 03/18/2014 @6:00PM
Updated with a few more websites they are located on, another stolen image from Google +.
Update 03/31/2014 @ 5:00PM
They’ve rebranded. Links updated.
Update 06/12/2014
They’ve rebranded for the millionth time. I updated the links and deleted all of the dead ones.

Blog/Original Website
It’s my favorite when people make stories up about stolen images, although it seems like the stories are more often than not just the text copied along with the images, in a few of these cases Megan and/or Dan also added a tidbit here or there.
It seems that once they purchased the current Blu Domain website, they made their old website their “Videography” and blog.

From Daniel’s personal Facebook he’s got a gallery of what MD Studios offers. Original source.
The excuses are starting, they hired an associate yesterday that loaded the snowfall image from the fauxtographer’s inspiration folder. Too bad Facebook shows this image goes back to at least January on their page.

The Knot
The #ichooseprofessionals hashtag is amusing.

Boudoir
They are selling a Living Social deal which ends today for boudoir. Posting images from the website that aren’t sourced above. I have a feeling the blurb at the top and the pricing on the bottom are lifted as well but can’t find sources since they screen captured.
Wedding.com
Despite Megan claiming all images have been taken down I keep finding more and more links with stolen images under the MD Studios name. It’s like Gremlins! I’m only showing the source for the image that hasn’t been seen on one of their 100 other pages.

Craigslist
Snap Knot
Their directory is down but the images pinned by Snap Knot and credited to MD Studios Photography still remain.

I have a feeling the album images aren’t theirs either.
Original source is Etsy but the listing was removed.
