My fiancee and I are getting married later this year and my father is keep
to rattle off some shots on our EOS 300D

Talk him out of it!! This can only end in tears, either for you or him.
Let him enjoy the day like a normal guest of honour.

It wasn't my decision, he wants to do it. I am sure my fiancee will step in
to ensure that the camera is put aside for all the shots he is supposed to
be in (she can be very firm when she wants to), but he thinks he will enjoy
the day more if he is allowed to do some photography.....

........but as everybody has pointed out I would quite understand him
getting a bit peeved if he felt crowded.

Aha! Why does it have to be "him" getting peeved?

Sorry, very un-pc
I think my brain was clouded due to all the photographers I have found so
far in the area being male.


Wasn't there a woman from the Auld Sod here in the recent past, and
principally interested in doing weddings? It'd be quite a coincidence if
she were from the same area, but ...

How to find her?

Lets hope she still reads the NG's..........

Another respondent has suggested he concentrate on the 'informal' shots
which nobody else will. Don't forget your dad will be in some of the
formal shots too.

I think (hope) that is the direction he is going to take.....

Also think about buying a disposable cameras with flash to put on each
table at the reception - you will then get the really fun shots of the
other guests in an informal setting like the toddlers and grannies.

Yes, I think we will be doing. Some of our friends have done this at their
weddings and for a relatively small outlay they have got some lovely snaps.
(Lots of junk too but a few good ones is well worth the waste).

Good luck.

Indeed, let him enjoy the ocassion! Hire some bad tempered, obnoxious,
and expensive professional. You will get better pictures, and if you
hate HIM after the ceremony, there is no harm done.

Sure, allow him (an anyone else) to take pictures, especially at any
reception/party after the wedding, but reserve the main shots for a pro.
After all, he should be IN many of those shots, and you will regret it
later if he is not.
