I can only remember dealing with a couple of Grooms directly.
They were both mature couples, one was a 2nd wedding.
They went very well and smoothly and were real nice guys. That's how I remember them as against all the others I have forgotten.
Oh, I do recall one guy that would intervene in things now and then. Turned up late one night drunk as a skunk wanting me to hand over all the prints and negatives.
That ended really bad for him.
As the ensuing argument got really heated and turned physical, my grandmother who lived with me got worried and called the cops. As he was driving out the street at a great rate of knots after I sent him packing, the cops picked him up and got him for high range DUI.
That was just an unfortunate wedding from the start. They got married because they " Had" to and clearly the girl was way too nice for this clown. I don't think they lasted long at all.
The ones I have had trouble with have almost always been the cheap low end jobs. They haven't necessarily been cheap on my part. They have paid my upper middle ground cost but skimped on the rest of the day.
When I find out it's a pretty low buck affair, my guard goes up and I am cautious now.
Like with the OP, it seems after the day they have a propensity to complain and want more in compensation. You start off wearing it to keep them happy then something else comes up, you fix that and then they create some other mystical, never mentioned before problem.
Lucky I haven't had that for a long time now. I have learned to be in control of the transaction and let them know that so I get the respect that deters these whingers early on.
99% of the grooms I shoot are bored out their skull by the whole wedding process and the only thing they want is for it to be over!...Show more →
I'll STFU now!
