p.1 #1 · Photographer's hair catches on fire during ceremony...

I'm sure the smell of burnt hair was bad, but it could have been a lot worse.

I'm bald, so can't say that i'll run into a situation like this, so be careful all of you with full heads of hair (i hate you)

It's one thing to read about it but it's really horrifying to see the flames.

She's a fellow Fearless Photographer. She posted about this on our group page a few weeks back. Had some funny things to say about it.

I sure hope that never happens to me. I got pretty close to some candles last week, but glad I didn't catch fire like that. Note to self, keep hair neat and tidy and not styled how she had hers.

I dont like that either but maybe it is a natural reaction to an unexpected and weird situation like that one !!! at least a guest tried to help out.

I was pretty horrified watching that too. Hair goes up in flames really quickly. That situation could have been much worse. I'm glad to hear that weeks later the photographer is able to laugh it off but I'm still surprised (dismayed? shocked?) that only one person tried to help while everyone else stood around and laughed.

My shirt caught on fire at a destination wedding in Florida.

I was shooting with my 24L and had to back up and sit on a window ledge to frame a group shot.... darn tea candles.

It sucked. The MOG had to put me out.

No pictures, but my second still laughs about it every time I walk backwards to frame a shot.

what yuppie jerks to not show any emotional concern except for the one gentleman who is trying to help her out. I had more faith in the general public to help another person in trouble or at least not laugh at them. Really disappointed in the reaction of the people in this video.....you would have thought they were 5 year olds on a school playground by the way they laugh at it. Sure it's an unusual and strange situation, but no one even shows a bit of emotional concern in their facial expressions and in fact the groom is clearly making fun of it in front of everyone. Makes me want to punch him in the face. Horrible.

Did you notice that the photographer was facing everyone so no one could see it like the one guy could

Calm down. Though it could have been tragic it wasn't. I'm sure no one was laughing at it in the sense that is funny or a joke. Someone(s) was probably already taking care of the issue so it doesn't help to have a ton of people getting in the way of what is needed....they only cause problems and make things not so easy to solve.

Have you ever done anything that could have turned into a horrible situation and laughed at it? You laugh it off and thank goodness you are safe.

the big issue to me is the lack of concern by anyone at all. Its different when concern turns to relief, but there was no concern at all and that really rubs me the wrong way. I realize she was facing away from the crowd, but the bride and groom instead of wondering what is wrong are more like why are you not taking photos, and then haha you idiot type reaction. Just really unsettling.

Wouldn't expect anything less from a gal who goes to such extremes to get the light right.
