Let Your Photographer Be THE Photographer - There is a saying that goes, “You can’t be at the picnic, and photograph the picnic.” With the onslaught of digital photography, and the affordability of consumer grade camera’s many more wedding guest are now packing their cameras along to your big day.When preparing your family and friends for the big day, remind them that you want them to be present and actively participating in your wedding and that can be difficult for them if they are snapping photographs on their point and shoot cameras. Let them know that you’ve paid a good deal of money for your photographer and you trust them to capture the day.
When meeting with your photographer, make sure to discuss their exclusivity clause regarding other people taking pictures. Some photographers don’t mind other cameras, but there are particular times when flashes or what not can harm the shot your photographer has set up. Talk this over with them to avoid frustration and images not turning out.

This was a bit of a problem at my wedding. My family (including me) are all photo addicts and take pictures of every little thing. Well my mom had asked a family friend and one of my aunts to take pictures through out the day. We were outside before the wedding taking our pictures and one of the photographers just kept getting in the way and really getting on my nerves. I finally had to send a bridesmaid to get my mom to take care of the issue. We could have avoided all this if we would have laid down the rules beforehand.
