Ouch ... that's horrible. I don;t usually wear a suit when I shoot a wedding but I wear dress pants and a dress shirt. I don;t normally drink (even when offered by the clients), when you have a wedding, get a lockable box for the cards and envelopes of money ... The only thing you can do is take him to small claims court unless he indicated he has no plans on fulfilling his contractual obligations ... here are some examples of people who have lived through similar situations to what you did.
If he has no intention of giving you your pictures then (in most places) it's fraud ... a criminal offence. http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2011/11/1... http://moorestown.patch.com/articles/wed... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2668137/Couple-sue-over-wedding-snaps.html Stop corresponding with him at this point and consult a lawyer.
Generally the contract will state how many days you would expect to receive your product. There's nothing the police can do because its a civil matter, he hasn't committed a crime. Being a rude vendor or person and even a crap photographer isn't a crime.
What you need to do since he's not working with you and he's not going to on his own, is you need to not threaten to sue him, you need to go to the courthouse and file the paperwork in a small claims lawsuit. You don't need a lawyer, the lawyer fees will be more than the photography was. If he's registered on any wedding planning sites like theknot.com, weddingwire.com or anything else check for reviews of him.
If not, leave one so he doesn't do it to someone else.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
