"Absolutely the worst"
Durham, NC
July 26, 2009

I will say that the house photographs well, because in real life, it is pretty run-down and in need of MUCH repair. The sign at the end of the road says "Thymelina", not "Abilena", and it also says "Private Property--Do Not Enter"--This was very confusing for guests! The handle on the back door is missing, so the door could not be fully closed or else it could not have been opened from the outside. The banister is loose and I really thought it might break when the flower girl (a very little girl) leaned on it. The bedroom and bathroom doors do not lock, and most of them do not even fully close. The owner and photographer for Abilena, John Williams, was completely arrogant and rude. He spent very little time with the bride while she was getting ready because he was so busy trying to locate his next victims--I mean, clients. He kept following this one couple around taking lots of pictures of them while the bride and groom were each getting dressed and ready for their own wedding! He is completely unprofessional to say the absolute least. And his photography is very amateur--no remote flash, no light meter, and I never saw him take even one candid shot. My honest impression of him was that he forces his photography on couples who want to rent the Abilena because surely no one would hire him if they had any other option. He is absolutely the worst wedding photographer, and the house is not at all what it appears to be. My advice: do NOT choose this venue.
