The funny things you find out after a wedding.

Talking to my mom last night and she mentioned something interesting. She told me she saw our photographer alone with one of the BMs and her boyfriend and taking pictures on a bridge. This was during the reception but they were near the ceremony site, about 50-60 yards away. My mom asked me if this was appropriate or not. I’m not so sure either. My initial feeling is no that’s totally inappropriate. There were some 90 guests there so anyone could have helped them take a few pictures with their phone or personal camera. I would also never dream of asking someone’s wedding photographer to stop what they are doing and ask for a mini private photo shoot with my significant other. But maybe I’m overthinking it and maybe people do this all the time at weddings and I just never knew about it.

What is your opinion? Appropriate? Inappropriate?

Note: We had a photo booth at the reception and this was not an unplugged wedding.

    Your photographer probably thought it was OK since she is a BM BUT that is very inappropriate on her part to ask your photographer to take pics of her and her BF. If it was 1 or 2 pics I would not mind so much unless of course the photographer missed a very important shot like cake cutting or first dance..

    Uh. What? That is crazy. That is wildly inappropriate for the bm to ask that, and even more inappropriate that the photographer would go do that. You were paying for their time not the bm. I would definitely find out what happened there

    Yes this!! I agree with everyone this was very rude on your BM's part. That being said you should definitely let us know what happens!
