[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 343647, member: 23493"] I see it from both sides.... having been in similar situations too - whilst I rarely - if ever compromise on my work and if the B&G want a shot, I would never do it half heartedly unless there was no alternative, but sometimes I have had to take a step back because a shot or collection of shots (ie family portraits) that I think are super super super super important aren't that high on the brides list - and that is cool. One must remember it is their wedding and they are the customer and if they don't place the same level of importance on a set of shots, that is completely ok - hard lesson for me to learn and sometimes I do still struggle with it. I also have a clause in my contract that states: [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]COOPERATION: The parties agree to cheerful cooperation and communication for the best possible result within the definition of this assignment. THE PHOTOGRAPHER is not responsible if key individual’s failure to appear or cooperate during photography sessions or for missed images.... and SHOOTING TIME / ADDITIONS: The photography schedule and selected methodology are designed to accomplish the goals and wishes of THE CLIENT in a manner enjoyed by all parties. THE CLIENT and THE PHOTOGRAPHER agree that cheerful cooperation and punctuality are therefore essential to that purpose. .[/FONT][/COLOR] Chin up though - you at least did everything within your power to ensure they got their images, and you should be proud of that [/QUOTE]
