I worked a wedding yesterday and during the formals i had several of the guests taking photos behind me . I had asked the Bride BEFORE the wedding to ask them not to and the Mother asked them not to when it was happening . Well it seems that there was a young lady that continued to snap away -- I was busy trying to get done --( we only had 20 minutes before the next wedding was going to kick us out . ) So I did not notice her . At the recpetion I saw her showing all of the family her ( MY ) shots on her Nikon D70. And then told her that she would make CDs for the entire family.
so my question is .... since there is really nothing I could do short of wrestling her to the ground -- how do YOU handle this ??
I just lost a lot of reprint sales . People would rather take a mediocre photo for free than pay for it . (I did't want to come off as a complete jerk and ruin the day by stopping and demanding her to put away her camera .
