The point is that a lot of shooters (regardless of dSLR or P&S) get overzealous and end up either a) in the shot or b) fracking-up the exposure of my shot with their stupid flash. Despite this all being discussed with the B&G before-hand, these situations often occur. Since I\'m the one being paid, it is my job to do whatever it takes to get the shot. If it means walking in front of a GWC, then I have the right of way. Simple as that.
So, I\'m not saying that there is no place for GWCs at a wedding. What I\'m saying is that they should show some respect and always yield to the people being paid to shoot. The fact that they might grab some good shots is irrelevant if they have ruined many of the paid shooters shots. Ask any B&G and they will agree.
Unless you really are the a$$hole who took my sister\'s money, I\'d appreciate it if you stop making assumption on what I did at the wedding. I wasn\'t only taking photos of the B&G but also my family & relatives. There were so many people there to take candid of that there\'s no need to get in each other\'s way.
Show some respect? Hahaha... who do you think you are anyway? You\'re the outsider who\'s getting paid to take photos in the ceremony, you\'re the one who should show some respect. What do you think is gonna happen if you upset one of the B&G\'s parents? I think you\'d find the B&G a little less agreeable with you.
Again, if you can\'t handle flashes from other cameras at a ceremony where people would naturally take lots of photos, I think you really should quit mate.
I can handle it. The point is, I shouldn\'t have to. Common courtesy should be enough, but like common sense, common courtesy is becoming far less common these days.
I\'ve explained my point of view. I\'m not the rude bastard who intentionally walked into your frame at the wedding and the thought would never cross my mind. However, I wouldn\'t go out of my way to avoid it if I had to get a shot.
