He blocks the videographer from filming the entire wedding retreat. He
doesn't know where the fountain is. As Robert Cole pointed out, he is
using a flash with a diffuser pointed straight up -- hardly helping him
at all. He walks backwards for a long distance without looking where he
is going.

He deserved what he got.

What the hell was he doing with that Canon 'cannon' on his shoulder. Useless
for that particular event. Showing off, I guess...

You notice that when someone tried to help, they grabbed the camera, not the
photog, out of the water?

And lastly, the music was appropriate - and timely!!!

Font, not fountain. That's a baptismal font.

So it is! Well, he baptized himself, eh?

It also seems to me he could have dressed appropriately for a wedding.
Too many photogs out there looking like slobs.

Brilliant!!! You have to admire the patience of the videographer who had
presumably seen it coming and was ready for the exit bath!

Just an idea, would you consider covering the walk with a long lens
from the other end of the aisle?

I might. The thing is, can you imagine in your wildest dreams the bride
and groom buying any of those frames? I can't. Let the videographer
shoot them. The bride and groom will buy the video.

I am all for documentary wedding photography, mind you. But a repeat of
the same shot over and over is not the way to do documentary. The
photographer should be getting other angles, other perspectives, and
different framing. His tightly framed pair of faces with a bit of
church all around them is fine -- for one or two shots. But that is not
the whole show. He needs to move around more relative to the subjects
and he especially needs to be invisible.

I don't do weddings, but a real pro would have had a tripod set up with a
quick mount for that particular body.

And, a REAL photog would have been at rehearsal and noted the font in the
back of the chapel - as well as other challenges.

He WAS trying to sell as many copies as he could. I would surmise that sold
a few more...

Funny how the videographer doesn't seem inclined to warn him ...

I bet those CF cards kept the photos though.
