you're invited.....but bring your camera....

There was no pro tog, she'd lied about booking one. Think she realised that I probably wouldn't go if it was overly evident that p had been invited for my camera. Like I said earlier, my heart sank when I realised that she had lied about booking a tog. My camera goes almost everywhere with me - my memory is pants, so I take pics to remember events. It was the pics that hubby took and I posted that are on fb. It's not bad in itself, it's just that her circulating the pics in the manner that she has, just backs up the argument of why I was invited. Lyndsay, you have hit the nail on the head.
 
FaceAche - as some of my friends refer to it
 
It's very poor that your 'friend' lied about the photographer and didn't even credit you (or your husband) for the photo's. I get the impression you'd find it hard not to take photo's at something similar in the future but maybe you could be, ahem, creative in post processing next time. ;)
 
Too late now (sorry) but I would have been tempted to 'think of a number and add a zero, send them an invoice and state you need half up front' Simples.

.DAVID.
 
I get it from my Mum of all people! It's no longer "Come over for Sunday lunch! It'll be nice to see you!" It's now - "X and X are coming over tonight and they're bringing baby X over tonight, bring your camera along and get some nice pictures!"

Makes me seriously mad.
 
Thanks for explaining Nattelie. (Why do you spell your name like that? Just wondering. French?)

For Mark : "Friendface" is a fictional site once featured on an episode of "The IT Crowd" and now used by folk like me who have a pathological hatred of MyBook, FaceSpace and the like.
I get the wife to communicate with that underworld.

Sorry if this seems harsh, but it is from me learning the hard way.
Just bring yourself to these events, and if they qusetion you, then just say you couldn't be bothered.
If they question that and get annoyed, then you know what they want you for, so you can just distance yourself from it all.
 
I got aske to do it for someones wedding I know, they said " we want you to come as a guest but can you bring your camera too?" I said no and i don't want to come either.

Cheeky in my eyes

I think thats what I'm gonna have to do, thank you for the push :)
 
Sorry to hear you've been bad again Nattelie - hope it's a passing bad spell and shoots through soon.
 
I just remembered a friend of mine did a wedding for someone he knew : about a month beforehand instead of inviting him and saying "bring your camera" he paid for a NEW camera and said bring that.
Different!
So next time Nattelie's friends offer the job, ask what camera they're buying for her!
 
I've just had the exact same thing happen. One of my neighbours has just been over with an invite to her wedding in november and then asked if I could bring my camera to get some shots after the ceremony. I knew it was coming though, cause she's been texting the wife recently and asking questions about photography and where to find a photographer 'on the cheap'.
