Count the cameras… how many do you see? There are 10 in this small slice of the crowd and none of them is my second shooter. The bewildered flower girl has gotten a little disoriented by all of the media attention and someone had to gently point her in the right direction so that the procession could go on.
In our obsessively digital world there are more and more people with their heads down at every turn… I see it every day. They are so busy checking their little blue screens that they miss the next beautiful thing to go by… sounds like a life half lived.
Next time you go to a wedding, maybe you should unplug and just enjoy the day.

Amen for unplugged wedding ceremonies!
I could not agree with you more. It’s just so rude of people to act that way and really, they’re trying to pose as photographers but a real photographer wouldn’t behave that way. That poor little girl… kinda makes me sad. I’m glad you captured that shot. It’s an all too familiar scene.
Awesome, Jamie! Well said.
Good news: I’ve had multiple brides recently ask me (their pro photog) if I could advise them on language to put in the invitation and program to suggest their guests leave their cameras at home and completely enjoy their wedding.
