paparazzi

Each year,

digital cameras are becoming more and more affordable to the average consumer

and the quality of cell phone cameras are getting better, fast!

As a photographer,

it’s easy to notice the new trend on a wedding aisle:

paparazzi central!

(I keep forgetting to ask my bride’s if they have noticed this

and if it felt like they were on the red carpet in Hollywood haha)

Each photographer has their own opinion about guest photography.

My personal stance is this:

a bride and groom typically spend a lot of energy

finding a photographer that they both love

and who they feel can capture their most important day

in the best way possible.

I suggest all guests with their personal cameras,

to be mindful and respectful of the hired photographer.

I have had some pretty interesting people bark at me

after nicely asking them to move into their seat a little more rather than on the main aisle.

I don’t let it bother me because I am doing my job,

but I just wish some people understood that 

Here are two examples of images that I captured,

with the second image showing the effect from a guest’s flash.
