how do you know it's not just a guest? my cousin has an album on FB with many photos that were taken during her wedding, but they all are actually GUEST photos not the "official" photographer. (however i won't go into how unprofessional the official one was... as much as I'm tempted! lol)

Eh.... I am still correcting the shots from my camera that my fiance took, he accidentally changed the white balance on over half of them (I was in the bridal party) I haven't posted the album, but posted examples of the ones i'm fixing on flickr in order to get advice on these forums about how to fix them, and someone commented with a compliment on how I looked. she may have thought all my pics were looking like that - well, they are, but not for much longer :P

Anyway - unless they are saying these were "pro" shots - you never know who took them or the circumstances....

For the couple's sake I do hope this was guest photography because if they paid for this then there's lots of shame to go around.

Not sure if it was a guest or not,But what i'm trying to say is that in general people have become used to sub standard service..At least in South Africa that is..My one friend is family to the couple and he reckons that they were very very happy with the outcome...But tx for the replies all

I know this is old, but I found it searching for something else. I noticed it was a very small attendance, and they could have asked a friend to take pics for them to save $$. Unfortunately, it's becoming a large practice, especially in the southern us, but I would honestly tend to think that it was just a means of having them but saving money since it was a small union. When my husband and I first got married, we done that, but at our renewal, I'm paying out my rear for a fellow-photog I know and trust. Our original wedding was similar in size to this one.

Just a thought.

They look very much like they were taken by a guest with a P&S. I doubt its anything more than that. What made me giggle was the photo of the "gorilla hands". Obvously it was the priest contratulating the happy couple but what a shot!!

Looked like a small low budget wedding. I didn't check to see if the EXIF info was there, but I'd bet it was shot by a friend with a point and shoot.

Not everyone can afford a photographer, and the couple are probably happy with the shots they got.
