ABM PHOTOGRAPHY -BRIAN KENT is TACKY and RUDE!
I was at a wedding last August and ABM Photography was working it.... when dinner barely started and people were enjoying their meal, the photographer (Brian Kent) was going around each table passing out 5x7 FLYERS of his business to EACH person at the table. The guests looked confused and didn't know what these flyers were for, since no explanation was given (AT LEAST AT MY TABLE).

I thought that was the TACKIEST move ever by a vendor.

So I got up and POLITELY mentioned to him that perhaps this is not the best time to promote your business by passing out flyers when guests are enjoying their dinner. I suggested to him that guests were a little taken back by his actions... BRIAN gave me MAJOR attitude, he didn't let me finish what I was saying and then he said that the reason he was passing out these flyers so people can go to his website to view/purchase images.
He did NOT mention this to guests.... the flyer was this HUGE thing with promo stuff on it.

To make matters worse. When bride and groom came up to me to say their hellos to me, the photographer was right there NOT taking pictures when he was supposed to.
After dinner, minding my business I was sitting down with a friend chatting, the photographer - BRIAN comes up to me and says "IS THIS YOUR FLYER?" I told him "YES". He was like "I"M GOING TO TAKE IT BACK, I DO NOT WANT YOU GOING ON THE WEBSITE". He took the flyer, turned around and left.

I WAS SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE NEVER WITNESSED THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR BY A PROFESSIONAL; especially at a WEDDING.

P.S. Guests complained about receiving these flyers during dinner, it wasn't just me!

P.S.S. The photographer then somehow found my phone number on the internet somewhere and started harassing me - questioning me - asking me to take down my review from other sites. Therefore, I'm reposing this.

I stand firmly by what I said; there are many talented wedding photographers in San Diego, Brian Kent is NOT one of them.
His business tactics are a shame!
