AWP (Aldrick Williams Photography) Fantasy World Pictures UNPROFESSIONAL SCAM ARTIST!!!! Internet
I needed a photographer for my wedding and received Aldrick's name from a friend. I used him for my wedding and he was the most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with. He showed up at the wedding on time and took the photos/videos but once I rendered payment, he stopped answering my calls/texts/emails. I have yet to receive my video or photos. He showed me a preview of the video via a link, and it was the most horrible thing I have ever seen in my life. It looked as if my 5 year old had recorded it. I managed to remain professional with him although he promised my photos would be ready in a week, my video in two. It has been a month and a half and I haven't received anything. He has no pictures of the flower girl coming down the aisle! That hurts because the flower girl is my daughter. He also has no pictures of my mother lighting the unity candle. I can tell that he had NO IDEA what he was doing. He lies on his website and has wedding packages available, but I doubt he has ever done a wedding. He is a complete and utter scam artist and I wouldn't wish him on my worst enemy. GOD will take care of him. What goes around most definitely comes around. Please don't be a victim like I was. I will never get my wedding moment back again, which is sad. Do not do business with this guy or his "company" unless you want to be disappointed.

To the client.
As a fellow photographer, I am going to have to say that not getting the image of your daughter as the flower girl is disappointing, but sometimes little things like that are missed due to the photographer only being one person. They can not be in 5 places at once. If her photo was that important to you, then you should have made it clear to the photographer to capture that moment. However not having an image at all of the first dance is not acceptable seeing as no one else is moving, and all attention is on your dance. If the photographer was still there at the first dance, then he should have captured that moment.
Also, as far as how long it took to get the images, 8 weeks is about right. with hundreds, to some times thousands of images to sift through, and edit, it can take a while to get the completely finished products. However if it was stated in the contract that it would be faster than that, then you have every right to be upset. Its false advertising.
Which brings me to the photographer. At ANY point in your conversations did you tell this client you were a model photographer, and not as experienced in weddings?? That is info that NEEDS to be put out there. No one can just recreate a wedding if your images were not as advertised in quality. If you did not tell you that you mainly do models, and not weddings than you should have made it very clear.

You are a MODEL PHOTOGRAPHER yet you advertise for being a WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER on your website and you even offer packages that include VIDEO. See pic below. I hate to be rude, but you sound like an idiot. I am sure people are reading this and formulating their own opinions. I think my job is done. GOD bless you, child. That is all I can say.

I am suprised that this actually rendered a response unlike the phone calls/texts/emails I sent. I did get my photos on a CD, two months later and after I threatened a lawyer. And feel free to check out my wedding photos at the supplied website that he has listed... but notice that you won't find any pictures of the flower girl walking down the aisle or my first dance with my husband. Since Mr. Williams is so "professional" I have to use the pictures from facebook that friends took in order to capture those moments since he failed to capture them. How does a "professional" miss the flower girl???? It was in the middle of the wedding! Although I cannot get those moments back, a simple apology for his unprofessionalism would have sufficed. Instead, it is a sad attempt to restore a career that he has actually never had. Do your research people. I am not the first to report him to Rip off Report or report him to the Better Business Bureau. There are several of us. What else do SCAMMERS do when people keep reporting bad things on them? They change the name of there company. FANTASY WORLD PICTURES... AWP (ALDRICK WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY) The craziest part of it all, he is acting like this is a personal attack on him. I don't know this guy. What does anyone do when they pay a person $1200 and they receive crap? They do what they can to make sure it doesn't happen to the next guy. I am at peace now because you reap what you sow, and I have a feeling that Mr. Williams and AWP are most definitely reaping. GOD is good!
