Oh yeah, I have one of those and it's annoying and I'm just about ready to tell this bride to hit the road.
When do you turn away business? Or do you just bit your tongue?
Have a contract written up stating whatever, however you plan to do your business. State in that contract that if the bride doesn't follow the rules of the contract...you walk. (of course you write the contact in better terms than what I am saying) lol But you get the idea.
Or
Stick it out, but give her attitude right back. What I mean is, do your job, but you don't have to put up with her BS.
So..
walk
Ignore
Give attitude
and/or you could also speak to the bride of how she is acting. If she goes off the handle, leave. IMO unless you are charging an arm and a leg for the wedding....no photographer needs to deal with a bitching bride. (well no photographer at all should have to deal with it, but at least the real expensive photographers get a nice chunk of change from the bitching bride.
