Question re photographers wife...

Steelgoddess, 9 January, 2010 at 23:51 Posted on Planning 0 9

A guy who does photography has agreed to do my wedding photos from leaving the house til end of evening for a VERY good price...

Now I said he is welcome to bring his wife but wondering how this would work where food/drink etc is concerned? I said she is more then welcome to come to the evening reception and then after that time he can take pics of first dance and a few of guests partying and afterwards party with us...

Just wondering what to do,,,

    Well, thats different Smiley smile I'd never think of inviting the togs wife, hes doing a job afterall....would you invite the drivers wife? The florists husband? The celebrants other half??

    If hes taking photos well into the reception then his wifes going to feel a bit on her own still isnt she??

    Nice offer but I wouldnt worry about it???? Up to you of course..

    So is the guy invited as a guest as well as the photographer? In which case if you have asked his wife too then if I was him I would assume you were asking her asa guest too.

    If he is only coming because he is the photographer have you told him you will provide him with a meal? What does it say in his contract? If you haven't got a contract then get one. And, if you are paying him, make sure he has got insurance too.

    There's a couple of togs out here that bring their wives.......and the wife works as hard as the tog. Often they work as a team.

    My thoughts are the same a Sandysounds - is the wife coming as a guest or his assistant?

    Mine is like sandy suggested. My tog and his wife work as a team. He takes the photographs (obviously!) but she sorts out where people need to be although I think she is trained as well and takes the pictures of me getting ready. Mine are only working up to the wedding breakfast so I will not be feeding them.xx

    Ahhh if its a friend then, someone you know, then by all means invite his mrs as a guest too.....

    (I did not take from the original post that they were a team)

    If you are feeding your tog at one of the tables then thats fine, set for two. If you're not feeding him suring the day then invite her at the evening. Sorted.

    I was going to address an nvite to him and his wife for the evening, however he will be there from the morning...

    Does that make sense?

    I wish i hadnt told him his wife could come now lol!!!

    So... he's a "family friend" and he's going to do your photos as a favour and you've said his wife can come...?

    If you're sending out an invite to him for the evening which includes his wife on it then you've done as you promised, invited his wife.

    What have you told him about food?? I guess in that situation the only worry is that his wife comes with him for the whole day but then if you're invitte clearly says evening then they should know.

    Did you ask him directly or did your Mam or someone do the asking for you? The best way to sort these things out are to clearly ask or cleary confirm verbally to him.
