Jamie Wolfer warns wedding photographers not to leave when their hours are up without confirming they've captured key moments like the chair ceremony. Check with the coordinator or couple before you go, especially on hourly contracts, or you'll miss shots and disappoint your clients.
Okay, the photographer probably had an hourly situation where they were done, their hours were up, and they were not able to stay there for the chair moment because the timeline had gotten a little bit off track, which is perfectly normal. It happens at events. The photographer, in my opinion, should have checked out with the coordinator and/or the bride. You're not going to call the photographer back and be like, hey, you didn't stay for this one specific moment, especially if you signed an hourly contract with them. Life happens, stuff happens, wedding day freight train, things are moving, it gets really difficult. But in my opinion, the photographer should should have checked out with a coordinator or the couple themselves. The boss on the wedding day is the couple, okay?
