I just came across this image from on of our amazing weddings this weekend, and thought this to be a great Wednesday Wedding Planning post. Thank you Rusty Bryce for this image! As the bride and groom, I know you're always thrilled and excited that guests are so beyond happy for you and want to take pictures of you! Who wouldn't? Right? Only problem is, they forget that you, the couple, just spent a good amount of money to have a professional photographer and/or cinematographer to take some amazing and unforgettable images!
We get it, in this digital era, the era of Social Media, we all want to immediately post images of your wedding directly onto Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, but what your wonderful guests fail to realize, in an effort to take such a great shot off their smart phone, tablet or personal camera, they end up getting in the shot of the professional photographer/cinematographer!
As a wedding planner, we are constantly giving guests instructions about when to photograph and proper etiquette in photographing, but, unfortunately, we have only so much control over them. We can't stress enough how important it is to please be mindful and respectful of the bride and groom. We're not saying you shouldn't take pictures, but remember to at least look around and make sure you aren't in the line of shot of the wedding photographer/cinematographer. I'm quite sure, if the roles were reversed, you would want the same respect and consideration, right? :)
I leave you with what could have been a great shot for our lovely couple, completely unusable for their album. Do you agree/disagree? Let us know your thoughts!
