Crap wedding photographers

Hair flick; will you be having the old 'all the guys running towards the photographer' shot at your wedding?

but of course, I think I will also be looking for the classic "from the back, looking over the grooms shoulder as he longingly looks at his approaching bride" as classic as the Hay Wain

£100?!?! What did they expect?

I've paid £1,400 for my upcoming nuptials. Wouldn't be worth my life if I cut costs on the photographer.

YPFWYG.

I paid more than £100 for my wedding photos but can't now remember how much

It was however in 1985.

And yet another old client has just informed me they are getting a divorce.

Lesson for all couples, spend as little as possible on the wedding and save if for the divorce battle funds

[RizzoTheRat]

La La La I'm not listening!


(she's put up with me for 13 years so far which is probably more than the average marriage anyway )

'We're going to have to re-stage the whole reception' - hmmm,

'oh no, just write us the cheque, no need to check we have actually done it' - blatent cash grab, presumably advised by an equally bargain basement solicitor by the sounds.

Rizzo I think the key here is do not book me to do your wedding, in fact, it was the shocking strike rate that helped to made me decide to pull out!

If you want a divorce within 3 years, come to me

[RizzoTheRat]

Surely from a business perspective that's a good thing, you get repeat custom

You can only work with the material in front of you

Fair bit of material to work with then.

Quantity over quality though!

Is this for real, surely not...why am I sat in an office....?

Perhaps I should move into divorce portraiture, send your ex loved one a shot of you doing some sexy shots with the strap line "Wish you where here", it might have a niche. Give me a shout in 3 years

Seriously good luck with yours

I did a wedding a few years back for a radio station running one of those marry a stranger comp, its obviously going to be complete car crash and you don't know what you are going to end up shooting. We had never met either party and... neither had they!

Bride and groom were really nie but, asthetically were never going to get on. We met the groom first and the bride second. Now I am professional and my backup for the day too but when we left the room a bit of laughter may have been heard... alas it transpires that in a castle laughter travels far.

I have the shot where the groom met the bride as she removed the mask at the alter, priceless.

I would love to, I dont own the copyright and I've just basically taken the piss out of one of the wedding party which, although none of my work is linked to here it wouldnt be very hard for someone to search for two strangers married for radio see the shots and link back to me... but saying that I dont work in that geographical area now and the internet has a wonderful way of things popping up.....

Challenge accepted.





One of those "happy" couples?

[Miguel Alvarez]

One of those couples doesn't look so happy.

[afrochicken]

indeed they don't. The only reasonably convincing smile was from the blonde former model who went on to marry Jeremy Kyle.

Wikipedia link

[Hair Flick]

None of those!

[afrochicken]

Oh. Bugger.

[Hair Flick]

BTW Jeremy Kyle, actually a nice bloke, met his missus (if they are still together) under similar circumstances only he was the radio presenter she was the winner of the 2 strangers gig....

Anyway Honeymoon ends without romance for radio wedding couple, very much doubt any of my shots will be found anywhere. Two really genuinely nice people but no way were they meant to be. She was up for it, he was in it for a laugh ended up in a hotel somewhere in spain with pressure to get it on. Turned out after the gig it wasn't even a wedding but a comittment ceremony ffs still good gig all the same

ETA the highlight of my day that day. The group shot of the radio staff. All lined up for the promotion shot, I did the old 1 2 3 say cheese routine but instead said "1 2 3 Heart FM", they all said it then realised part way through. Comedy
