Anyone been a "guest" shooter at a wedding? My cousin is getting married and she has hired a photographer, but my aunt is asking me if I don't mind taking photos as well with my cam. Not obligated to take every shot since I'll be enjoying the wedding, but needed to know how to avoid interfering with the hired photographer while still composing good shots. Cc: ksteezy
Nowadays everyone brings DSLRs to weddings and is just something photographers just have to deal with...it sucks, but you can't expect people to not want to pull out their cameras...just have a good sense of where you are standing, chances are you won't get any great shots if you are not the main photographer so I don't even understand why people would want to lug a big camera to an event they are attending...lol
I'm bringing my camera and 24L to my broinlaws wedding and I'm only using it during the reception while people are dancing and is not in the way of the hired shooter at all.
Don't for one second think of pulling the couple aside for your own portraits bro, we had some dude pull that stunt at a wedding and we missed the time window for our portraits because he took them and they couldn't blame us, hope the shots dude got were worth it...lol
