The sad thing is alot of people do put their cameras and not take pictures but MOSTLY when they see a hijabi bride or a religious family. I don't understand why they cannot do the same for a normal wedding.
Yes, the same kind of respect needs to be given to brides and others who do not cover their hair.
well you know what?? i dont knw what happens at other countries but in pakistan even the photographers and the movie makers leak out pictures and videos at time for money sake!!! so its like you cant stop people actually plus if you are not doing it yourself and somebody else is posting your pictures then you are not the one to be blamed :)
When I was younger, my father NEVER let me dance in weddings in Pakistan, even if it was a simple luddi. He isn't a fan of dancing anyway, but his primary concern was the fact that these videographers have been known to sell such videos to sick men.
my opinion is I think its better to write on the card instead of announcing dont take pictures during the wedding and I think this sentence is excellent
"No Photography allowed from the guests, please leave that to the professionals"!
Re: Question for all
^ I do think "please leave that to the professionals" sounds a bit rude; there's got to be a better way to say it, but I agree, it should be on the card.
Re: Question for all
great topic, interestingly all my friends who took pictures at the wedding, did not put them up on FB....they have pics of themselves..but not of the bride and the groom. I didnt have to tell them...but I guess it could be some unwritten rule ...or something...
You can say, "Professional photography only, guests please refrain from photographing the bride and the groom." That way you are not putting a ban on cameras or guests taking photos of themselves.
Re: Question for all
went to a bridal shower where the dress code was "Oscars Style." The girls were asked to wear gowns--strapless, low back etc etc. Now the mother of the bride knew that a lot of girls post pixx on facebook the next day so right when each girl would enter she told them that no pictures are allowed whatsoever. She monitoried the whole night and made sure pixx werent taken.
As for wedding pixx--mine were are over facebook the next day. Every other person had a folder dedicated to the wedding events. and yes I too go sooo many friend requests right after the shaadi. On top of that ppl kept tagging me....each shaadi dawat Id go to!!! but after a while a new wedding came and rest was forgotten.......so I really didnt care:)
I went to a wedding recently where the mother of the bride walked in before her and requested that no one takes pictures of the bride. shes a strict hijabi and the wedding was completely seregated, no music or anything, and people listened. *The thing is, if i go to a wedding where i dont really know the bride or groom that well, i wont take pictures of them. And if i do, i would never put them on FB. I do however put family wedding pictures on fb cause i have family all over the world and its just the easiest way to share them, but i alwaysss make sure either the bride or groom know that i am uploading them and that they are happy with me doing so.

hahaha :)
i know i dont mind close friends and family taking pics....but everrrryone else...
and so true about getting friend requests later.....
Re: Question for all
I don't see the harm of taking pictures of yourself at a shaadi, but my concern is around the bride and groom, some of them don't want their shaadi pictures splashed on the internet, and dealing with the after math of random friend requests or people getting upset because they were not invited..... I do think there needs to be a good way to say it on the card without it coming off as rude.. suggestions for how to appropriate phrase it on a card??
Re: Question for all
^ see, i don't think you can phrase it politely and most people would probably take offense unless you are a hijabi and of course, then its more acceptable to say so.
you can't control *every *single aspect of your wedding- you could try, but even if people don't use cameras, they can still use their iPhones and Blackberries. if you are really conscious, then I'd suggest spreading the info through word of mouth, but it would be really bossy to receive an invitation with "no pictures/cameras please" written on it.
Re: Question for all
Thats a very interesting topic. I do agree with all of u. I recently read in thread about this issue that somebody pictures were on this site without bride/groom consent. Not really sure if all of u read it. I was thinking this thing is becoming a real issue. But i have to say people who take picture or post picture without somebody's consent is really wrong. People should at least respect others privacy.
