If you were the bride or groom, would this piss you off?

I am not sure who the photographer is in this video, but if he's the photographer that was hired by the couple to shoot the wedding, I think I'd be a bit pissed off at the minister for this outburst. Thoughts?

What an egocentric tw@t.

It's not about you, your faith or anything else but this couple who is being made to feel very uncomfortable.

It entirely depends on the couple's attitudes towards the photography and the ceremony. Agreeing or disagreeing 100% with the minister both seem to be to be reasonable positions.

It is unfortunate that the photography team didn't talk to the minister beforehand, though. That was a mistake.

wow! The look on the couple's faces..... I agree, if this was the photo/videographer that was hired to do the ceremony, then yes, I would be livid.

What Amoliter said. I always talk to the officiant and the venue about rules or requirements ahead of time in order to avoid such a situation. Cmmunication is the key.

 

[pixmedic]

typically, the church (or whatever place) has rules laid out for photography, and will give the rules in writing to the bride and groom (or directly to the photographer if present)

we discuss the photography with whoever is officiating the wedding (or whoever is in charge of the event) beforehand. always.
this way, there are no surprises for either us, or the facility.

They looked to be in shock that the minister was doing that.

You would have thought that the photographer would have talked to him as well. Although there is another camera and tripod in the back, so you have to wonder if this was a hired professional.

 

[amolitor]

Of course they're in shock. Most likely they hired (or at least selected) everyone involved and they're appalled that this gang of jokers they've selected can't get their **** together. Well, nothing that specific, they're just appalled that this is happening at all. Afterwards, they had opportunity to be appalled at the jokers in question.

With ebaumsworld, to be fair, you never know what the hell it it. This could be staged anti-religion video, or whatever.

 

[runnah]

I don't care if it was or wasn't explained beforehand. You don't stop a wedding to ***** at someone. Be respectful to the guests and the couple and mention it to the photographer AFTER the ceremony.

Again the minister is an egocentric ****.

It's also posted on CNN.com and other websites, so I think it's legit...

The minister was in the right, looks like the photographer has not got a clue

He might have been but he handled it like an ass.

I have seen a wedding stopped before, the shutters on new DSLR cameras are to loud, the one i was at he told the photographer to move because of shutter noise he also stopped the music because we were not singing loud enough

 

[gsgary]

He might have been but he handled it like an ass.

How else could he have handled it ? he was doing his job and his comes before the photographer, and im not the slightest bit religious

 

[amolitor]

I concur that the minister behaved like an ass, but I am not at all convinced that there is a shortage of blame to go around.
