This article (external link) says a company called CPI Corp bought it. So Wal-Mart didn't buy it. Their portrait contractor bought it. CPI also does Sears.

Interesting....I wouldn't laugh though. Wal-mart has put plenty of small business owners out of business. If they are successful (and they know how to market and got the money to do it), they will be taking wedding business from someone....just don't let it be you :)

Bell a, walmart, sears... None of them are near being my clients. If $495 for wedding photography peaks their interest, then they are not even gonna consider my $3600 and up...

Haha. No. I'm just a cashier while I go to school.
I do happen to work directly across the street from Home Office though.
