I went to a wedding on Saturday...

the usual kind, in a church, a man and women..My partners boss actually..

I actually stepped inside a church, it was hilarious I must say; the wedding had a semi-indoctrination feel:puke:. The preacher(Methodist) went on and on about jeebus and his luv, blah blah blah..

Any way, my partner and I (male) went to the reception as well, we were having a nice time hanging out with some of our Cop friends and people my partner works with, the boss's boss loves my partner and so does all the girls in the HR office actually.

While we were having dinner, the photographer came around and took the couple across from us picture as well as the couple with the child (whom we are friends with) photo. So, my partner gets closer to me so we can have our photo taken too. At first the photographer thought we were joking and when he realized we were not joking, he refused to take our photo.

As the photographer shuffle footed, my partner called him a dick head. Our Cop friends were amazed at the audacity of him refusing to take out picture, he was paid to take pictures of the guest for the wedding couple, not be a judgmental fuck. One of our friends was pissed and was going to have a word with the photographer, but seeing we did not want to ruing the couples wedding day with protest, we asked him not to say anything.

When my partner sees his boss, I am sure he will tell her about it.

I am sorry... it sickens me.

The photographer's opinions - as neanderthal as they might be - are of no concern when he's being paid to do a job. And his job was to take pictures of ALL the guests.

The couple certainly should be told about this.

What utter, self-serving bullshit. I wish you'd let the friend have a word with the photographer, and not just let him get away with his boorish and unprofessional behavior.

These goddamn bigots............................

the couple decided not to chose your photo, they are presented with all the photos taken so they can chose the ones they want to keep for an album.

:)

I'd be pissed if the photographer I hired did not perform their duties

I don't think that would have ruined the couples day. he stepped over the line and had no business making any kind of a judgement call on the couples guests and that is what the little bigot was doing.He was inflicting his point of view on someoneelse's wedding. He should have been fired. Sorry but too many folks let crap like this pass trying to be "nice' and it really accomplishes nothing. Over 20 years ago, when I was married, both the videotographer and the photographer took shots of a Gay couple who were some of my best friends. They danced together at the reception.It may have raised some eyebrows but I would have sacked anyone who complained. They were my guests and deserved to be treated like everyone else.

He did not perform the job he was contracted to do and, therefore, should not be paid.

i'm in a bad mood at the moment! i went with my bf to his brother's wedding last weekend and it was weird cause we weren't seated together but i wasn't too bothered
