Client requested shoot & burn to justify requested discount (need to read this!!)

I bet they'll end up with Uncle Bob taking the photos for them.

Good luck to that dude getting married to her.  Sounds like a real classy lady.

I hate the idea that some people have that photography is just pointing the camera and pressing a button... you're better off not having clients like that.

all you are doing is looking through a hole on your camera and snapping shots off, it's not rocket science.

LOL and cooking is just heating up food.   I wonder what she does for a living.

WOW that's someone who would most likely come to the wedding with an assault weapon.  Sounds like the man upstairs just did you a favor!

Amen to that. Let her teenage kid take the photos of the event.

What a tool, good thing that didn't work out.  I'd bet that would have been a nightmare.

:rofl: :agree:
Yes the new ailment is Craigs Syndrome. Symptoms are thinking that everything should be dirt cheap, and the delusion that photography is easy.

I'm sorry, but that is just hilarious.  Yeah, sucks that you had to waste your time with such an idiot.  I find the humor in that, what is going through her head?!

I would have done the same.  Things happen for a reason, I feel bad for the poor sap that takes on this client.  I can see this being a person that you do a stand up job and they still leave a negative review.

Craig's syndrome indeed. It's great how accessible photography has become, but unfortunately things like this happen more and more as a result. Any idiot with a camera thinks they can take incredible pictures, not understanding the time, effort, and patience it takes to learn how to do it. Tis a shame.

How classy of you to just leave.
I can think of ten things I would have said before I left.

"If you do not know the difference between a good and a bad photo, why not get a family member or friend. You can get it for free!"

HA!  Looks like I wasn't the only one thinking this.  Believe me, I bit my tongue harder than I ever have.  A true test of self control!
