text: This company hired me as a second shooter for a wedding in August of this year before you ask I sent the photos I took to Adam Brooks per our contract As you can guess I have not gotten paid nnIn the weeks following the wedding I was able to reach Adam a couple of times Each time he promised to pay me by a certain day which came and went without his promise being kept Naturally I began to get concerned but the fact that he sent signed and had me sign a contract made me think that there was no way he would skip out on paying mennMeanwhile my mother invited my fiance and I to attend a bridal expo and who did we find there You guessed it nnWhen I approached him and introduced myself he did not seem to have a clue that I was one of the photographers he hired I had never actually met him in person After I refreshed his memory I politely but sternly demanded to know when payment was going to be made He gave some excuse about being busy shooting weddings and that he would pay me by a certain day the following week After that day came and went I realized he was never intending on paying me at all nnHaving few options I sent a demand letter to his business address It has since been returned in the mail Legal action is to follow nnNot only is he not giving couples their photos but he is not paying the photographers he is hiring to fill in for his absence It makes me wonder if he is even a photographer at all or if he just uses other photographers photos for his website What is even more sickening is that he is going to bridal expos and posting deals online to gain more business The fact that he could look me in the face and lie without hesitating disgusts mennThough I am naturally incensed about not having been paid for working an eight hour day on my feet in the heat and spending money on additional equipment figuring I was making that money back it infuriates me more that he is stealing such a special day from so many couples nnMy advice to everyone who has been burned by this con artist is to take legal action immediately To people who are looking to hire a wedding photographer please do thorough research before spending your money
