Photographer Sacks Bride to Be
A bride to be has been sacked by her wedding photographer as he claimed he was ‘under suspicion’ by her when she placed her request for how she wanted her photographs to be.
The row began after bride-to-be Michelle Knots emailed the photographer and pointed out the pictures of her friend’s wedding photographs. She said they there were informal and would like her shots to be more posed.
Photographer Gordon Bright who had already received payments of £300 from the couple returned her email saying he was cancelling their booking.
He told Michelle: “I am sorry you have doubts about our professionalism.
“Due to this fact and the comments made by yourselves concerning the style of our photographs which were discussed at a wedding fair we have decided that we are already under ‘suspicion’ and therefore could not work with you on your wedding day to our best ability.”
Michelle said was not criticising the photographer and added “We booked Bright Image after seeing them at a friend’s wedding and a wedding fair.
“We were really impressed with the quality of the photographs.
“So, we said: “The comments made at the wedding fair were that we would prefer more posed shots than natural shots of us and our guests.
“We had no doubts about his work and he was not under suspicion.”
Michelle and boyfriend Richard Taylor now have to start again to look for a photographer in time for their wedding at Matfen Hall, Northumberland in October.

Wow, as a photographer myself it surprises me that someone can be that fussy with the market the way it is at the moment. I wonder if they had taken the time to really understand what the client was asking. I can appreciate that a photographer shouldn’t work for a client that wants something they can’t or won’t provide but there should be some flexibility surely. Sounds like an over-reaction to me but then I don’t know the details.
