ha ive only just realised I spelled "stitched" wrong in the title Maybe it is best if I speak to the B&G, although I think its the Grooms mum that going to be the tough one, shes the one who told the guests she would give them pics for free, and at the beginning of the evening party I forgot...

thanks theres a lot of handy info in there :clap:

ok thankyou I have no intention of using them for stock but they will prob end up on my website, once ive finished it

ok, does the same apply for children? One of the bridesmaids was about 5, and there was also a baby there which I have a couple of pictures of

Yeah, and at least I will be more prepared next time and I can make sure something like this doesn't happen again, I will probably watermark the images of groups of guests, as the only people likely to purchase them, if anyone, would be the guests. Also would I need to seek their permission...

Yeah you are right. Its not so much the money, or how much I get that I care about now, its the principal that no one seems to want to pay anything, almost like they all deserve the images for free

sorry, I'm quite overwhelmed with the amount of replies I have received and must have missed yours lol

I like this idea, perhaps if I select 5 or so images of just the b&g, which can be printed, the rest of the b&g pics and any photos of groups, guests and bridesmaids I will water mark so they have to be purchased, I think that is reasonable.

I wish there was a compromise, I am happy for the B&G and there families to receive the images, in full resolution as thats whats what I agreed, I just cant think of a way to ensure the guests and friends don't get hold of the images for free aswell

looks like I have two different routes to go down 1. Swallow my pride, give the B&G and there families CDs containing full res JPGs, along with a copyright notice, fully aware chances are the CDs are going to be copied, learn from my mistake, and use the images in my portfolio. or 2. Supply...

I think the whole wedding was a short notice thing, it was fairly low profile at a registry office. I guess I would put myself down as a keen amateur. I had a couple of costs to cover, I called in one of my mates girlfriends to help me edit the images in time for the evening party, and I gave...

:thumbs: Thats a good idea aswell My other worry is that they are going to print the photos on there 30 quid lexmark printer, and then blame me for the fact they dont look right

I dont mind supplying the B&Gs family with the images, I think its really cheeky that the grooms mum told the guests not to buy my prints as she will give them copies for free.

Maybe if I supply a dvd disk with a slideshow of all the images, which will be playable on there DVD players, but make it so they cant copy/save/print the images, and also supply a disk of heavily watermarked JPGs I wont be doing anything wrong

I did tell the bride I was planning to sell the prints to the guests kudos on the watermark idea guys, although would it be wrong to give the bride images that are watermarked? If I supply her with unwatermarked images no doubt they will copied and given to the guests, but I feel kinda bad...
