Wedding Photographer Gets Treated Badly By Couple, Does Bad Job As Revenge

Taking pictures at a family wedding can be a delightful yet challenging experience. This was exactly what OP, an amateur photographer, discovered when they were asked to capture their favorite cousin's big day.

Although OP was being paid about half of their usual rate, they were happy to help out, given their love for the bride and admiration for her husband.

The day started well. During the formal shots with the wedding party, everyone was cooperative and in high spirits, leading to numerous great shots. But the real challenge began when it was time to take pictures of the various family groups with the newlyweds.

This is where things started to go downhill. Despite OP’s best efforts to get everyone’s attention and remind them to look at the camera, family members were less than cooperative. They kept talking, looking away, and generally not paying attention.

OP tried to be polite, humorously reminding them that the camera, the big black thing on the tripod, was what they should be focusing on. Unfortunately, instead of complying, the family members responded with rude remarks.

Realizing that things were not going as planned, OP asked their wife to record video clips of these interactions. This move would later prove to be both a source of vindication and further drama.

When the bride and groom received the photos, they were overjoyed with the pictures from the ceremony, formal, and reception. They even found the chaotic family pictures hilarious.

However, not everyone saw it this way. Soon, OP began receiving criticism on social media from other family members, complaining about the terrible pictures.

They argued that OP should have waited for everyone to be ready before taking the shots. In response, OP posted video clips showing the family's uncooperative behavior and the rude remarks directed at them during the photo sessions.

While some might have seen it as a justified response to unwarranted criticism, others, including OP’s mother, felt it was going too far. She told OP that their actions were inappropriate and that the family wouldn’t ask them to take pictures again.

This story serves as a reminder of the importance of cooperation and respect, especially when someone is doing a favor. It also underscores the need for clear communication and understanding when it comes to capturing important moments.

While OP’s humorous approach and eventual response to criticism might not have pleased everyone, they did highlight the challenges they faced and stood up for themselves in a situation where they felt unfairly treated.
