<p>I need some advice. I shot a beach wedding with about 35 in attendance. The wedding was planned in a 2 week time period. On the beach were no chairs for guest so I had them equally stand on each side so that there was a walk for the bride and so I could get the images that I would need to get. I was shooting with a 70-200. I said this in from of the Officiant. After the wedding started the officiant told everyone to "come in closer". Now those 35 people are within 2 feet of the bride and groom so I was forced at this point to shoot from behind them. She is upset that the ocean is not her background and wanting all the "original" photos. I tried to explain to her that I don't give originals and that wasn't gonna change the fact here. She said I should have made my way and they would have moved that she paid me to do the job. This wedding was short no music simple vows it would have been over by that point. There are about 3 photos this way all the others are facing the beach. She's telling me she is highly disappointed and cannot redo her wedding. She did not tell me at any time to make sure all was facing the beach. If I would have known that was very important I would have had us replay the moment after the fact. But there was no way of getting through 35 people I was shooting with a 70-200 and I needed a little distance.<br /><br> I am sick over this because I like for things to be right. I don't know what to tell her. I so hate that the officiant did that at the last minute like that. Ugh!</p>
