She was also slammed for cancelling on the morning of people’s big days, meaning they had no time to find a replacement.
It is understood that more than 100 couples were on a waiting list for videos to be edited and sent out.
However, writing to complainants, Kent Police has explained there was insufficient evidence to prove Ms Stanton had acted with dishonest intent.
It said: “Although the material suggests poor business management, negligence alone does not constitute dishonesty.”
Ms Stanton did not respond to requests for comment about the police’s decision, but speaking to KentOnline last August, she claimed she was the victim of a “witch hunt”.
One of the affected couples says they feel let down by the non-prosecution as they are still waiting for footage of their April 2023 nuptials – despite taking civil action over the matter.
The bride and groom, who do not wish to be named, paid £775 for a comprehensive video package.
She said: “It’s a real slap in the face they’re saying no further action.”
They contacted Ms Stanton on their first wedding anniversary as the agreed one-year timeframe for delivery had expired.
When it became clear she was not going to deliver the video, they asked for the raw footage.
In response, they were met with a contract, which meant in exchange for the footage, they must agree not to “seek compensation and/or pursue legal action” against Wallflower.
It also said the company would be “absolved” of responsibility regarding editing their final film and that no “derogatory or negative” review could be left on any of its online profiles.
The couple refused and took civil court action, which they won in February when Ms Stanton was ordered to deliver the footage and give them a full refund.
She was also told she must cover their costs and pay a small amount of compensation.
Despite being given 14 days to comply, she failed to do so, leading them to get a writ of enforcement so bailiffs could get involved.
According to the bride, they subsequently made contact with Ms Stanton but there wasn’t much of value to take away.
She added: “It’s not about the money, we just want the footage. But still we’ve not had a penny or had the footage given.”
However, in another frustrating turn, it is believed the police now have their wedding material as it was seized as part of the investigation.
The force says it has referred the matter of returning the property to its Legal Services Department which is currently reviewing the situation.
She said: “It’s devastating. It’s our wedding, and we asked people not to film because we paid to have her there. We do not have other footage.”
They are going to appeal the police’s decision not to prosecute.
Last August, Ms Stanton – who started her business in 2021 after 16 years of doing videography as a hobby – said she’d been left depressed dealing with angry couples.
It’s devastating. It’s our wedding, and we asked people not to film because we paid to have her there…
She’d wanted to “provide beautiful, high-quality wedding videos that fit within any budget”, but this led to her “shooting herself in the foot” as she wasn’t able to cover costs.
She hit out at people who left negative reviews about their experiences, claiming she was left with anxiety about leaving the house.
She went on to suggest this led to her cancelling appearances at other weddings.
She said: “Clients seem to like the contract when they want it to work in their favour, but refuse to acknowledge it when it goes against something they want.
“This entire ‘witch hunt’, bullying and harassment snowballed from initially starting cheaply.”
