Caution - Not all Wedding Videographers and Photographers act Professionally

     When planning your wedding, you want the very best photographers and videographers to record images for you. That's why you want photographers and videographers who understand that your wedding ceremony is a religious ceremony, one that should not be impeded by rude and unprofessional behavior.

     Take, for instance, the videographer that spent the whole wedding ceremony up on and around the altar, intermingling amongst the wedding party, including getting between the parents seated in the front row and the couple.

     This "videiot", as we call him, was very distracting to all the guests and appeared in 75-80% of the photographs taken by us from the back of the chapel and in the balcony.

     The Bride never saw him, as the videiot always seemed to get the back of her head. The Groom was totally focused on his Bride, so he really never noticed. And the Minister was so focused on the couple and the ceremony that he actually only saw the videiot at the conclusion of the ceremony.

     The owner of the video company has been put on notice that he will be responsible for the costs to Photoshop out his employee from the photographs the Bride selects.

 

     Photographers and videographers should not be seen or heard during the wedding ceremony. 

                     In fact, 99% of officiants conducting wedding ceremonies insist on it.

     Why this photographer chose to be right up front where the parents were seated is beyond me. It appears that there are only 6-8 rows of chairs, and surely the photographer has a lens that can reach that far.

     So please, make sure you know that you're hiring a true professional, one who understands that this is a religious ceremony, knows the rules, and is all about the couple, not the picture or film production.
