You have to admire the patience of the videographer who had presumably seen it coming and was ready for the exit bath! Regards, Martin Brown

The thing is, can you imagine in your wildest dreams the bride and groom buying any of those frames? I can't. Let the videographer shoot them. The bride and groom will buy the video. I am all for documentary wedding photography, mind you. But a repeat of the same shot over and over is not the way to do documentary. The photographer should be getting other angles, other perspectives, and different framing. His tightly framed pair of faces with a bit of church all around them is fine -- for one or two shots. But that is not the whole show. He needs to move around more relative to the subjects and he especially needs to be invisible. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

And, a REAL photog would have been at rehearsal and noted the font in the back of the chapel - as well as other challenges.
