With
the arrival of our fabulous digital age, many wedding guests take photographs
and videos in ever increasing numbers -
especially during wedding ceremonies. As
a follow-up, the guests then download them onto social and other websites on
the wedding day or shortly after without the consent of the bride and
groom. As a result, several brides have voiced
their disapproval, stating that the downloaded photos were unauthorized and considered
unprofessional, uncomplimentary or unflattering. A number of brides also voiced their disappointment
that their professional photographer did not even get the opportunity to
showcase his/her work.
If
you are getting married and wish to avoid this potentially embarrassing situation,
include a request on your wedding invitations so that your guests are aware of
your preferences prior to the wedding.
If you are an invited guest, you may wish to
seek the bride and groom’s permission before downloading ‘happy snaps’ for public viewing.
Happy Planning!
Well said! We make memories with photographs. Wedding photography plays a very vital role in the lives of the bride and groom.
