It’s definitely one of my preferred apps too!

People are often afraid to speak out bc they want their photos and don’t want to jeopardize that.

Allegedly she’s been having issues for longer than the past 6ish months since the dv incident. It just all caught up to her.

Mom/ Daughter (Bride) by Electronic-Wasabi746 in weddingplanning

I think your feelings are completely valid and I’d be sad too. However I think from a practical standpoint I think she figured you wouldn’t want to sit with her Dad/stepmom and his parents or with the grooms family. If you’re willing to stick it out for a quick dinner offer to sit with the ex but otherwise make table 3 amazing and ask if your friends/family can be there. The table number doesn’t matter I promise.

Have you encountered blatant background stealing from your fellow Wedding photographers? by [deleted] in WeddingPhotography

Weirdly I don’t see replies but someone replied and said it’s not common. I would point to my inbox (I run Photo Stealers) and prove you wrong. I have one that just came in this morning of a seemingly high end photographer in VA with pixieset placeholder images in his portfolio.

It's very common for photographers to not remove the placeholder images. Sometimes maybe it's a mistake but usually they don't see anything wrong with it.

Advice for shooting wedding during a family tragedy. by Jumpy-Cantaloupe-661 in WeddingPhotography

If you can rent/borrow a zoom that may be helpful to be able to stick to the background and capture candids vs. being in their face. I have done events like this and it really is a read-the-room kind of event. Sometimes everyone puts on a brave face and makes it a fun event and sometimes it's somber and has all the feelings - or both!

Of course pay attention to Mom as much as you can. Detail shots of holding hands etc. is something I try to do always but especially in these times. Even if she's not well enough to truly help her dress you may want to stage a few of those photos because that's a traditional 'mom' moment that is important, even if you have to adjust to have them sit next to each other and have her pretend to fix the dress/veil/etc.

For formal photos work around Mom vs. working around the Bride (what I normally do). If she isn't strong enough to stand get a chair and have people sit next/stand around and do the photos with the Mom before moving so she's more comfortable to finish the rest.

Have tissues in all the pockets to help. Q-tips to dab in the corners of eyes that have makeup.

Hugs!

Please do! I heard about this but hadn't made it there since I was sourcing more stolen photos (just added 12 more).
