Brilliant! So fun to have a video compilation of all the stupid, aggravating stuff we hear and have to bite our tongues about. It helps to laugh about it in our downtime. Thanks for posting this!
If yo are interested in photograph ,you can browse my channel ,wish you like it and sub it .welcome to share the recources with each other.Thank you very much.
If you posted a basic bracket of pricing for your services rather than spending an hour getting someone's information only to decide that you'd rather not work with them then this wouldn't be a problem.
I agree that people can be stupid and ignorant about the specifics of your business, but you are supplying a service and the way some wedding photographer's act the couples they work for should feel blessed that they deigned to show up for their wedding.
@kalaway -I wish you were right in the assumptions you've made about my business, but you are not. I provide full pricing details as my first response to their inquiry.
Also, I'm always grateful to have the opportunity to work with my clients and always give 100% for them.
Regardless, it's amazing the things I hear or behaviors I see from people. No one person is like the character in this video, but it is an amalgam of some very common and off-putting things many photographers experience.
@kraftybkraft I agree that it's an extreme vision. I wasn't speaking directly to you with my comment about pricing details but about the majority of wedding photographer sites that I've visited--most of which contain little to nothing about price.
I appreciate the work that goes into the job, but the prospect of speaking extensively to a photographer about your wedding and coming to the end of the interview and feeling mocked when they quote a price $5000 over your budget is not exactly fun.
@kalaway Then maybe you should rearrange your budget to reflect what is actually important. You should be spending at LEAST 10% of your budget on photography.
People want to buy a videogame or movie, and then complain that it costs 5 dollars to ship. Have you noticed how much postage costs now? That gas prices went up? Or that protective envelopes are almost a dollar a piece? Or that because you paid with credit card, now Visa is charging me an extra 50 cents service fee? Shipping an item across ~2000 miles is not going to be cheap buddy
Very accurate. Everyone wants something for nothing. I just had someone looking for a photographer and videographer "no amateurs and HD equipment only", for 200$. What a joke.
I've shot many weddings in the past! Then as the digital age came to be ... I had a "model" ask me if I would shoot her wedding wth her "model" husband for "TFP!" I nearly died laughing! Then I had a Bridezilla try to have me beat up just before wedding so that she coud get out fo the contract. She had changed her mind after she hired me, but I wouldn't give in to her regarding my contract that said "the deposit is not returned if client breaks the contract" ... I no longer shoot weddings!
LMAO! That could not have been better! I actually lost a wedding early in my career to a girl that said she was going to have her friend do the wedding but that her friend didn't like weddings and had only done 1. Good luck with that one :)
Funny as hell and right on the money ! Unfortunately CraigsList and other listing services like are full of hundreds if not thousands of "Uncle" type photographers that undercut real Photographers all around the world.
Love the Starbucks thing, FABULOUS. I have had that happen to me, the family thing where no one wants to sit for photos, people think you push a button and you're all finished. Had a girl with a kid who threw a temper tantrum the whole shoot because she scheduled the shoot during her naptime and then expected me to give her additional time for free because she didn't want any of the screaming me-me photos...people have no sensibilities. At least people will see you in your hummer limousine...
I agree, these videos are hilarious (and sad) I am an art student and only a casual photographer but I know enough about Iso and shutterspeed and the f-stop to know that even if you have a great camera it doesn't mean you can take great pictures. You need to know your camera and have an artistic background to know how to frame the shot and get good lighting.
I love this! It sounds like what we musicians go through at weddings. Only even worse. Every time I see a bride walk down the aisle, I have to restrain the urge to shout, "Don't do this! You're making a terrible mistake."
Hilarious! Though I am not a professional photographer but I understand the emotions of a pro photog having to face people who are always on a budget but want Ansel Adams quality. The advent of Digital Photography has made the uninitiated to believe that all photographers just press a button and hey presto, you have a great looking image. They don't pause to think that it takes a lot of talent, creativity and imagination to be a good photographer. Weddings are not easy to photograph.
Had me until the end, then you got pretty hypocritical. Don't cry about 10k worth of photo equipment and bitch about some overhead "ohh super fast computerz" then knock the other vendors. That single limo cost 100k, and the BTS costs and logistics of running a transportation business far outshadow yours. No offense to all you shutter bois! Everyone is just trying to make a buck, you don't think bridezilla hounded everyone for discounts?
@hambergerz99 I think the point he was trying to make there wasn't the cost, but the effective use of money. After all, when the wedding is over, the pictures are what you use to capture and remember all the things that happened, whereas the limo ride.... isn't.
I'm with the video on this one. I'd rather pay more for a photographer than a limo.
That's kind of missing the point. This video isn't "knocking other vendors". Also, you're being kind of ignorant about the cost/labor between these two completely different types of services. Chauffeurs drive for a couple hours here and there, and your job is done. A photographer is there all day, plus literally weeks of editing afterwards. A good photographer will put in at least 30-40 hours of work into a wedding. Add that to the equation.
Not saying that the price for what transportation services charge isn't justified! It's definitely a pricey business to upkeep, I'm sure. But that's not really what the video was getting at.
This is hilarious! I'm a wedding videographer and all the same applies...WHAT IS THE DATE OF YOUR WEDDING??? So it's not just me and I'm not alone dealing with these issues :)
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! SPOT ON!!! YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! Thank you so much for posting the truth, not only in regards to wedding photography but in so many other aspects of portait photography!!
Like the bride, you've missed the point. It's not a complaint about the job, it's a complaint about the people that marginalize what we do. Photographers seldom complain about taking pictures for a living. I had one lady look at my camera and say "That most take really nice photos". Gee, thanks. My skill and talent and creativity have nothing to do with it? Ignorance. The same type you're showing in your comment.
@cheshirecat25... Ignorance?? Nice try. I produced wedding videos for 2 years (where creative framing and focus is a non stop process- not to mention audio)
After some time I realised I did not like working with moronic brides-to-be and found the whole wedding industry one big imaginary wank. Therefore, I stopped and did something else with my life... including enjoying my weekends.
@yakidk89 we aint complaining you ignorant dick! people are the problem... this is general for all photographers that do their job properly... its a sad thing but hey.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!! I don't know how many times I've heard "but I'm having a small wedding"...that doesn't mean I do less work because you have a small wedding...I give it all I've got every single time! After reading other comments I know I'm not alone. :)
ha ha ha :) This is so true sometimes! Some brides just read too much and expect soo much from you the photographer but Dont want to Pay for it, or give you the time! Thumbs Up!
LOLOL This has to be the best Youtube I've ever viewed, lol!! This almost had me crying it was so good, lol!! This is so true. I've had so many ask for really cheap and a discount like I've been a photographer for 10 years, WHY WOULD I DO A $400 WEDDING?!?! Do they think I go this far off LUCK?!?! I'm not a BUTTON PUSHER, I'm a photographer! lol!!
I find it hilarious that a program that "makes movies" if you can type was used to create this video about low-balling professionals, as opposed to using a proper video production crew. As both a professional photographer and also television producer/director, I am highly insulted -- and ROFLMAO!
Great job. Been a pro shooter for 25 years. Saw a bride that sounded like and resembled this cartoon character. She wants to go with me but I convinced her to go with uncle Sol who is doing this as a gift. She could not afford me anyways.
This is so true. I have spent over a year working on Photography editing and making pictures unique. No money can pay the amount of time I spent on the computer and studies. Photography is not only about having an SLR camera with the right lenses; it is also about editing, creativity, color and clarity. FS
I find it incredible that some of the people who commented on this were critical because it makes photographers sound "bitter." Where's your sense of humor? This is a hilarious satire on what wedding photographers often (not always, but often) have to deal with when encountering potential clients.
"Can I have the RAW files?
"Do you even know what that means?"
That is absolutely hilarious . . . . anyone who can't find the humor in that is taking themselves much too seriously . . . .
Funniest thing i have seen in ages because its so true!
All so many of them think about is price and relate photography to what they, or someone they know with an impressive looking camera knows.
I would have no problem showing this to my clients. the ones I would want to work with will understand and see the funny side of it and the ones that didn't would pre-qualify themselves as Pain in the butt customers I'm better off without.
@bthphoto - I slung an insult? Where was the insult in my reply? Are you inferring that saying you must be a Craigslist photographer is an insult? Hmm, the fact that that is an insult to you really says a lot about you; truly, it speaks volumes...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@awphot1, I know what it's meant to be. My point is, it failed miserably. No one will see the humor in it except bitter photographers. It just makes us look like arrogant asses.
@bthphoto Dude I'm not a photographer but I sure know that working with people imply dealing with all kind of dumb customers. I find this video very entertaining.
I've been a wedding photographer for years, and I find this insulting. I've dealt with unreasonable brides, but this is just a sad caricature of an arrogant, overinflated photographer who thinks his clients should bow down to him because he has more experience, more equipment, and more insurance than uncle bob. A GOOD wedding photographer is also a good salesman and compassionate artisan who can take a client with big visions and little experience and lead them to their goal.
@bthphoto - If you honestly have been a wedding photographer for years but still cannot see the humor in this, you must be a Craigslist photographer. As someone who's been in the business for years, I think it's hilarious.
@bthphoto two things. I think you've missed the fact that this is not someone actually talking to someone. It's a skit, like SNL, so it's suppose to be what you wish you could say to these people. 2.) You are either not human for not getting irritated...or you're not a professional photographer.
@metronomic1 Meh, say what you will but we just rented a high end camera and paid a relative to take wide angle photos incessantly through the whole thing. We have loads of raws and all the time we need to shop them to exactly how she wants for a couple hundred bucks....
@metronomic1 You are SOOOO correct. People who don't get the humor in this video cannot possibly understand. It's great to have something like this that can make you pile up all the crap we have to deal with and just laugh it off instead of actually getting upset about it. And bangbongbong - you've spent too much time on the bong if you think a rented camera and a relative is going to get you images that can even compare to what a pro can do. Be a pro for one month, then talk smack.
What the fuck is with all the fucking comments about him using the fucking f-word? Are you retards so fucking offended by his use of the f-word that you have to be fucking douchebags about it? For fuck's fucking sake, get the fuck off your fucking high horses and suck some fucking dicks, you morons.
his uncle rules dudes , he is cheap he probably has that d40 and will make couple hundreds of images from where you can get like 50 and make that damn album :S
I also would LOVE it if you made a "clean version", because although the video comes off as funny and sarcastic, you make many good points and took the words right out of my mouth!
Brilliant! So fun to have a video compilation of all the stupid, aggravating stuff we hear and have to bite our tongues about. It helps to laugh about it in our downtime. Thanks for posting this!

Great job. Been a pro shooter for 25 years. Saw a bride that sounded like and resembled this cartoon character. She wants to go with me but I convinced her to go with uncle Sol who is doing this as a gift. She could not afford me anyways.

This is so true. I have spent over a year working on Photography editing and making pictures unique. No money can pay the amount of time I spent on the computer and studies. Photography is not only about having an SLR camera with the right lenses; it is also about editing, creativity, color and clarity. FS

I find it incredible that some of the people who commented on this were critical because it makes photographers sound "bitter." Where's your sense of humor? This is a hilarious satire on what wedding photographers often (not always, but often) have to deal with when encountering potential clients.
"Can I have the RAW files?
"Do you even know what that means?"
That is absolutely hilarious . . . . anyone who can't find the humor in that is taking themselves much too seriously . . . .

Classic!
Funniest thing i have seen in ages because its so true!
All so many of them think about is price and relate photography to what they, or someone they know with an impressive looking camera knows.
I would have no problem showing this to my clients. the ones I would want to work with will understand and see the funny side of it and the ones that didn't would pre-qualify themselves as Pain in the butt customers I'm better off without.
Perfect!!

The fact that you think this is hilarious says a lot about you.
The fact that you can't disagree without slinging insults says a lot about you.
Together, they speak volumes.

@bthphoto - I slung an insult? Where was the insult in my reply? Are you inferring that saying you must be a Craigslist photographer is an insult? Hmm, the fact that that is an insult to you really says a lot about you; truly, it speaks volumes...

@awphot1, I know what it's meant to be. My point is, it failed miserably. No one will see the humor in it except bitter photographers. It just makes us look like arrogant asses.

@bthphoto Dude I'm not a photographer but I sure know that working with people imply dealing with all kind of dumb customers. I find this video very entertaining.

I've been a wedding photographer for years, and I find this insulting. I've dealt with unreasonable brides, but this is just a sad caricature of an arrogant, overinflated photographer who thinks his clients should bow down to him because he has more experience, more equipment, and more insurance than uncle bob. A GOOD wedding photographer is also a good salesman and compassionate artisan who can take a client with big visions and little experience and lead them to their goal.

Get a life mate.
This is meant to be an example of a stupid customer who thinks that all photographers just click and stick on cd.
Maybe you do but most don't.

@bthphoto - If you honestly have been a wedding photographer for years but still cannot see the humor in this, you must be a Craigslist photographer. As someone who's been in the business for years, I think it's hilarious.

@bthphoto two things. I think you've missed the fact that this is not someone actually talking to someone. It's a skit, like SNL, so it's suppose to be what you wish you could say to these people. 2.) You are either not human for not getting irritated...or you're not a professional photographer.

@bangbongbong You clearly have NO CLUE what you are talking about. Once you have spent 60 hours working on someone's wedding, we'll talk. Ass hat.
metronomic1 1 month ago
@metronomic1 Meh, say what you will but we just rented a high end camera and paid a relative to take wide angle photos incessantly through the whole thing. We have loads of raws and all the time we need to shop them to exactly how she wants for a couple hundred bucks....

@metronomic1 You are SOOOO correct. People who don't get the humor in this video cannot possibly understand. It's great to have something like this that can make you pile up all the crap we have to deal with and just laugh it off instead of actually getting upset about it. And bangbongbong - you've spent too much time on the bong if you think a rented camera and a relative is going to get you images that can even compare to what a pro can do. Be a pro for one month, then talk smack.
