Inconsiderate wedding photographers
I have been to weddings in the past where this has happened. All I ended up with was a rear end in the frame as the official photographers paid no heed to the fact that I was in the middle of taking a photo.

I find it extremely irritating when the official wedding photographer doesn’t provide an adequate opportunity for friends and family to take some photos. Instead we have to make do with awkward shots taken from the side.

| 26-5-2008 | I am a wedding photograher and personally I have no problem with amateurs taking pictures at events, but I am paid by the bride and groom to "get the shot" and my family depends upon that paycheck. In order to do this I have to be in the perfect position everytime and unfortunatly this som...more | Stefanyshyn |
| 19-4-2008 | As a photographer I feel that When some one takes photos over my shoulder that person is taking food off of my table.
Would an attorney let some one copy his work. I think not, people seem to think they need to bring a camera to a wedding.
The bride and groom have hired a professional photographer...more | a friendly photographer |
| 18-2-2008 | I have to agree as a wedding photographer myself, that the guests should not get in the way of the photographer when he is working. If the photographer is kind enough to let you take a few shots of the formals then be grateful. It is not like you can't take hundreds of the bride and groom at the...more | photog1 |
| 31-10-2007 | The photographer we hired to shoot our wedding was contracted for the whole occasion - from getting ready to leaving the reception. We paid an arm and a leg for it. The photographer missed the pre-wedding stuff for no reason given, took maybe 10 pictures of the ceremony, a ton of wedding guests at t...more | Unphotographed Bride |
| 09-8-2007 | I have spent years learning my trade - and that includes posing and lighting for the formals. Add in the fact that the bride and groom hired me to take the photos, and there is a time limit on how long we have to do what they want and allowing every tom dick and jane to take pictures is just not fea...more | Chris |

| 08-8-2007 | As a wedding photogarpher, I have a job to do. The happy couple placed their trust in me to document their special day. Who are you to question their judgement? Can you really be that arrogant? If you don't like the cake, are you going duck out of the reception to go bake another wedding cake? A...more | DS |
| 07-8-2007 | There's nothing like standing the issue on it's head, ie as in the title Inconsiderate Wedding Photographers. It's the Inconsiderate nature of the Guest more like! You, the guest, should be letting the photographer get on with his job. If the photographer needs to move or re-arrange the ...more | Chris |
| 26-6-2007 | I'm sorry you're so jaded and unhappy that you needed to make rude comments about my daughter's marriage. My husband and I have been married 28 years. My daughter and her husband dated many years and their relationship has survived many hard times that life has handed them and they hav...more | mother of the bride |
| 26-6-2007 | It doesn't matter, you'll get the next lot because they'll probably be divorced and re-married again inside of three years. Marriage doesn't last these days.
Can see your point and there are wannabe pros out there , but like someone said earlier, some wedding photographers are ...more | Matt |
| 26-6-2007 | As the mother of the bride whose daughter just married a few days ago, I can tell you what a pain family and friend "photographers" are. We paid a lot of money to a professional who spent a lot of time trying to pose pictures only to have a guest get in the way and snap the photo. The fi...more | annoyed mother of the bride |
| 01-6-2007 | "Oh, by the way, a Pro Photographer does not take a photograph, anyone can. He/she "makes" an image, using his knowledge of the normal flow of the day, lighting etc."
I've never laughed so hard in my life. Are you famous, or are you another wedding photographer that think...more | Coolie |
