A wedding videographer has been quizzed by police over theft and fraud allegations.
The Kent-based businesswoman was arrested last Thursday.

The 34-year-old has been accused by brides of taking money but failing to supply footage of their special days – with some cases said to go back years.
A police spokesman said: “A woman was arrested in relation to fraud and theft offences. She has since been bailed pending further inquiries.”
On New Year’s Eve, customers were told the videographer wouldn’t be completing any edited videos.
She instructed them to send external hard drives so raw footage she captured could be sent to them.
Then on Friday, she said: “Due to a situation beyond our control, we regret to inform our clients that certain recent accusations have resulted in the seizure of all business assets, including external hard drives containing critical video files that many of you are waiting for.

“Subsequently, we are currently unable to complete any ongoing wedding films or transfer raw video files at this time.
“This matter is now judicial, and we are working through the necessary legal channels to resolve it.
“We apologise for the inconvenience and further delay this will cause, however, it is completely out of our hands.
“We hope to resolve this as swiftly as possible. In the meantime, we have also been advised to cease all client correspondence until this matter has been resolved.”
