TPF Noob!
I attended a wedding in early July as a guest. Some old friends that I had not seen for many years had flown back in from Oregon to get married in their hometown. This really was a great wedding, small, but special like a wedding should be.
Anyways... here is where the story begins. My friends had carefully chosen a photographer who only talked about he was god's greatest gift to wedding photography.....
My wife wanted to make a scrapbook of some events in their lives as a gift and something they could add to. So of course I took my camera to the wedding to get a couple of pictures for the scrapbook (no "paid" type shots) and just a few shots for myself.
Just a few days after the wedding the scrapbook was done and I shipped it to their home, they were delighted. Then I get an email and phone call. This great photographer had missed / didn't take pictures of the first dance, the unity candle lighting, their rings, father and bride dance.... and about two or three other key items that our friends had been expecting.
Not only did he miss the shots but wanted to know if I had any other shots that I had taken for myself that they could use in their album to fill the gaps that he had badly created. After looking I had suitable pictures for all but one gap.
I can understand missed shots, but to actually request if your quests had pictures to use the in the professional album....
To help my friends out I sent them some high res images, but just had to share this one...
Some god's greated gift to photography, eh...
