[QUOTE="ABoon, post: 343655, member: 25505"] I can understand the frustration in that you have to show your work at the end of the day, and with little cooperation it may become more difficult to produce the results that you desire. However here is my take on the situation. The wedding couple have a right to enjoy their wedding and not be stuck following orders from a photographer. It is their own fault if they don't facilitate your work, they are aware that they will end up with less than desirable results if they don't agree to take pictures. I think you should take a look from both perspectives. It's their wedding, they hired you, they make the calls. If they don't want pictures taken that's their choice. As a photographer you should be respecting their decision whether they want to make the most of your service or enjoy their wedding in the moment rather than trying to create artefacts to remember it by. It's not a studio shoot, it's a wedding. The photographer should have as little interference with the proceedings and wishes of the host as possible in my opinion. I would be pretty annoyed if at my wedding, some photographer was hassling me to go and take photos while I was trying to enjoy my night and celebration with my family and friends. [/QUOTE]
