STAY AWAY!! I’ve been trying to contact William or should I say Billy since 2017! He came took pictures and never made a book for us. He’s been arrested, had family issues. Every e...
xcuse there is out there. He’s basically disappeared but heard he had assaulted a police officer and that was the reason he was arrested. He’s scum! A liar and doesn’t live up to his work. You can find way better out there. Do yourself a favor and do not book this crook!
DO NOT USE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER. My friend's wedding was in September 2019 - they have been trying to get in touch with him for MONTHS to order a wedding album and he is non-responsi...
ve. He will not release the photos. He literally disappeared for months and now is posting on instagram but ignoring all calls, messages, DMs, text messages, etc about their photos. This guy is the worst and is not trustworthy. DO NOT USE!!!!!!
The most unprofessional photographer ever. He never showed up at my sons wedding in October and he was already paid in full. The week before my sons wedding he never showed up. The...
night. before my sons wedding he got arrested for assaulting a NYPD officer He has problems and demons but that shouldn’t be my sons problem. Detox, Rehab. STAY AWAY. IM STILL WAITING FOR MY MONEY TO BE RETURNED. William I will get the money. You can bet on it.
Save your time and money and look elsewhere. Unreliable and a disappointment. Never heard of an issue with him until the week before our wedding where he didn’t show up to a weddin...
g and then got arrested the night before ours for assaulting a police officer. He has yet to reimburse us and refuses to answer phone calls. We paid in full the week before at his request and found out the night before the wedding that he was not making it to ours. Please save yourself the stress and just don’t put yourself in that position. He had beautiful photos and perfect reviews prior to my wedding but nothing will make what he did to us better. PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE !
In sum, we were promised 700x highlighted pictures and all of those would be delivered as physical 4x6 prints, an online gallery hosted on WMP’s website, retouching/editing of chos...
en pictures and a USB of approximately 3000x total pictures. These were all to be delivered between 3 weeks and 6 weeks post wedding. Our wedding was May 25th, 2019 and the following has happened since:
• Majority of pictures provided by WMP were from early in the day with the wedding party rather than at the cocktail hour and reception with family and friends. Very few evening pictures were taken and not one with the NYC skyline clearly behind us (a few blurry unusable ones were taken)
• 90% of pictures we requested on the WMP questionnaire were non-existent. Most missing were invaluable family photos which were the most important to us
• MANY absent faces. It was the same few guests taken over and over on only one side of the room
• We voiced our concern to William and asked if Nick had more pictures. He said there were no more and sent us a link to the remnant photos which did not contain the photos promised and the not one in the evening with the beautiful lit up city back drop. When we reviewed all of them one by one and asked William why so many requested photos weren’t taken, he said, “Well you didn’t want table photos,” (although, they were requested on the WMP questionnaire and were discouraged by him as it would disrupt the party) and “Well, I did my best.” We were floored by how curt he was. He was done with us. What were we going to do…we already paid in full and couldn’t reverse time Rather than argue, we asked that he send the USB, 4x6 prints etc
• Next came the fiasco of collecting said contractually agreed upon items. We would text William and he would respond promising to have them delivered the following week. He repeatedly said he would be sending a tracking number for the USBs (of the wedding AND my bridal shower from March) along with the 4x6 prints. We followed up weekly for months and got the same response until we stopped getting responses altogether
• We found his assistant, Nick on Instagram and DM’d him due to a lack of communication from William. It was that same day (Sept 20th, 2019) William finally called us to tell us he would fulfill on his promises. This is the last call/text we ever received from William
• After countless attempts to reach William, we tried one last time in mid-Oct ‘19 to rectify the situation with his assistant Nick but he claimed no responsibility for services not rendered since he was freelancing
• We begrudgingly finally took legal action in late ’19
On a funny note, after we filed the complaint, The People’s Court show actually contacted us to see if we would consider being on the show (they have access to public records).
We recently found out that he has wronged multiple people since our wedding (not showing up for one wedding altogether according to Yelp); stopped paying his business rent; his website link is down; and he has up and disappeared.
Hope this lengthy play by play is helpful so no matter what photographer you choose, be EXTRA careful and make sure you have a back-up plan in place!
Don't look any more, William is the best, My wife and I loved everything about our session with William before the wedding, during the wedding, and wow after we saw the pictures we...

of the line, you could tell that he loves his job, he is so down-to-earth, he loves people, he was so pleasant to everyone at the wedding, full of joy, incredible photos, and he pays attention to the little details so you don't have to worry about anything
Never showed up!!! This company is a complete sham, do not trust them. Had them booked for a wedding and William started by telling us he was running late and then eventually stopp...
ed answering any phone calls and never showed up. The absolute worst case scenario for someone's wedding day - don't let it happen to you.
HE NEVER SHOWED FOR MY FRIENDS WEDDING. DO NOT BOOK! He is a liar and unreliable. Two days later he has not offered a single apology or excuse to the bride and groom as to why he r...
uined their wedding day. He lied twice over the phone that he was on his way and eventually blocked the groom. There are so many great photographers out there, save yourself the stress and disappointment on your wedding day by booking this man.
We are so happy that we choose William Mason as our photographer for our wedding. After our beautiful engagement photoshoot, we knew we would be very happy with our wedding photos....
Will and Nick were nothing but amazing the actual day of our wedding. They made the day so easy and fun for us. Any request that we had for pictures William made sure to capture. We highly recommend using William Mason as your photographer! Thank you William and Nick for your amazing work on our wedding day!
Will and his team were amazing. Very professional and the pictures they took were stunning. There was a combination of standard couple/group photos, candid shots, and more artsy ph...
otos that were my favorites. I am rubbish at anything creative so I told Will to just create an album he thought we would love, and we did. It came out perfect. Highly recommend.
I booked William for my wedding and I can not say enough wonderful things about him! Not only are his pictures amazing, but he is professional and kind. He has a calming affect tha...
t made me feel at ease even though I was nervous. What I am most grateful for however is how he was with my son. I have a nine year old son with Autism who is non verbal, and I was very concerned about choosing the right vendors as I did not want anyone who would be too overwhelming for him or be in his face too much. I needed someone who would have patience and William was our man. He took beautiful pictures of my son and did not make him feel overwhelmed at all. He was just amazing! 5+++

I only received a sneak peek of our wedding photos and I still cannot believe my eyes! I knew what I was getting the best when we took our engagement photos with Billy. Even with ...
his strong and creative personality, he makes you feel comfortable throughout your entire session but he exceeded ALL expectations on the day of our wedding. Our shots were unique, his team was hands on, making sure they capture every moment and all without feeling overwhelmed. I cannot wait for our proofs!
I could not be happier with how the photos turned out - and such a quick turnaround time! William and his assistant worked within a very brief time frame to get some beautiful fam...
ily portraits that we'll always cherish. The photos of the bride (me) and the groom were romantic -- he played with light, mirror reflections and interesting camera angles to create some very beautiful photos that just captured the love between us so well. William was flexible and worked within my tight budget, and he even found a videographer for me and did it all in one contract, which made everything much easier for me. No question I made the right choice!
