As an update, after this review was posted, Tony called to insist it should be taken down, claiming…read morehe is not racist and does not take blurry photos. He admitted he actually doesn't have photos due to the issues with his equipment, stating, "The camera was glitching and I've never seen that before." He continued shooting without checking the photos throughout the day--unacceptable for a professional vendor. Initially, he offered a full refund for several items, but when we met in person, he reduced the offer to less than half, demanded we sign a disclosure to remain silent, and only offered a book of photos. He stated, "This won't hold up in court of law because you're still getting a product." Following up I made a request and they sent an email back about no longer willing to speak with me, only their attorneys.
For brides considering ADA, know this: you may never see your wedding photos, and you will likely only receive minimal compensation. Many couples were "paid" to remain silent, and we later discovered multiple others with disappointing experiences. Tony withheld our video repeatedly; when it was finally sent, it was poorly done and had been uploaded to their website before we even met with him. Without posting this review and requesting a meeting, I have no doubt he thought he would have gotten away with it.
During our sit-down, Tony became extremely frustrated and raised his voice, insisting that he was being called a "racist." I never directly called him racist, but his behavior and remarks throughout the day could easily be perceived that way. He made numerous unprofessional and unethical comments that negatively affected me, my mother, and the entire bridal party..
Please, save yourself the heartache and avoid this company. Before knowing I didn't have photos I was unhappy with the service. Tony's behavior, lack of professionalism, and failure to deliver on promises were devastating. I will never ever get this day back.
All venues should reconsider allowing ADA to be part of their vendor lists and bridal shows.
