    My photog is a friend and she just told me that my SIL wants a copy of every.single.photo taken at my wedding.  I think it's a bit much and would be happy to share the pictures that she wants but I don't want her to have a complete copy of all the photos.  And the SIL never just asked me.

     

    Weird?

    Why would it bother you for her to have all of the photos?

    It bothers me b/c we don't even have them yet and I would really like to be able to be the only one that has some of the more special ones.

    I think that's a little strange! I mean, I don't think it's a big deal, especially if your photographer isn't going to charge you for it or anything...but it's an odd request!

    Maybe she's planning on making a present for you guys? But my only Q is - ummm, she's paying for it right? It's not going onto your bill?

    She does charge us for additional copies.

    I tell my clients that they hold the password and are in control of who sees what photos.

    They get a disc and they personally get reproduction rights, so I kinda leave it in their court. lol

    If you don't want her too tell your friend to tell her she doesn't have the permission to give them to others  and she needs to contact you directly. then you tell her you're happy to give ones she want's but she doesn't need ALL of them.

    @Miss Sapphire - I hope I didn't come off as snarky, I was just curious :) I think it's a bit odd that she wants to see every pic, but maybe she's just really excited? I do not think your photog should just give them to her though, that's not cool. It's up to you to distribute the pictures how you see fit!!! :)

    Odds are she may be trying to make an album for you or something... but even then, she won't need ALL of them and that is indeed an odd request.

    She's not nice enough to be making an albumn.  I guess she's sent about 10 very intense emails to my photog requesting the copy and badgering her on when she will get them.  I told the photog that she doesn't deserve to be treated like that and to send the SIL my way.

    Well to ME it sounds like shes planning SOMETHING. Why else would she ask for all the photos? What does she have to gain? Are you sure shes not nice enough to make something for you? It doesnt make sense otherwise

    I took all 5 of our DVDs over to my SIL's house and copied every single one onto their computer. It was easier than fishing through them for which ones she did or didn't want. It's not like she's going to print up most of them anyways.

    But if she's being annoying with your photographer, just have your photographer email the friend and say, "you know, if you want a copy of all these images, it will cost X because I only give rights to the B&G"

    I think your SIL/FSIL is being irritating, though! And it's definitely an odd request. Do you think there's some evil scheme or is she just...weird?

    Haha, she's just weird.  And she's got no ettiquite.  It annoys me that she's pestering the photog and that she never asked me.

     

    I just sent an email to our entire wedding party and our parents with the link to the client gallery and told them if they wanted to see the "master copy" to email me and I'd meet them for coffee and burn a disc of the ones that they want.
