I know a girl who’s getting married, she wears hijaab and is quite conservative. She doesn’t want her pictures taken at the wedding due to Islamic reasons…
Family says no big deal, come on, and all that, the groom wants pictures…
What to do?
Re: What if a bride doesn't want her pics taken?
I have two cousins that do parda and hijab. The older one had pictures taken but a female photographer took the pictures of her and hubby and she didn't take any pictures with non-mehreem men on stage. Men and women were in complete different rooms so it worked for her. The second cousin was very much against the idea so she did not take any picture with poses of husband and wife but instead she let the family pictures be taken with her covered in the pictures.
I think the bride looks forward to her wedding day and her choice should be respected if she wants that. If the groom wants pictures taken perhaps they can settle for family pictures with everyone in them instead of couple poses and pictures.

If bride and groom can't come up with a compromise on the wedding day regarding their choices then allah hee hafiz.
Re: What if a bride doesn't want her pics taken?
...this could be a little bit of a delicate situation........ one way possibly would be to have a compromise between the two and with, of course, the brides consent, have a few photos taken by a reputable female photographer, in a respectful manner, which would not be circulated amongst the guests, but would only be viewed by the groom and their immediate families (ie parents and siblings)....

The girl in question....has she EVER has any pictures of herself taken? With her siblings or parents during Eid or other family events? If she has NEVER allowed anyone to take pictures of her, then the family/groom needs to respect that because she has stayed true to this value since before she ever got engaged.
However, a simple solution is to NOT take any pictures while the guests are there. Once the guests have left (OR you can do this before any guests arrive), she can allow a female photographer to take pics of her with her husband and other immediate (parents/siblings/in-laws) a few pics that will be kept by her/her husband and viewed by ONLY the immediate family members. She can choose not to actually give the few pics to ANYONE.

Well the pictures can be taken but of course there can be a solid reminder “My pix must not be published on the net” “do not have to be shared with outsiders” and yes of course depends on the crowd as well 
Re: What if a bride doesn't want her pics taken?
How about a sign at the door saying No Cameras Allowed on premises?
Also, if she doesnt want pictures...she shouldnt be forced to take them. Her opinions should be respected as its all about her to begin with.
Have a chat with hubby and make sure they're on the same page.

^Agree.. just leave her be if she doesn't want her pics taken..

While most of us obviously don't think so, some ppl do believe taking photos is haram completely, whether or not they're shown to others.. Each to their own..
Re: What if a bride doesn’t want her pics taken?
^^ ugh!! true…
as in she doesnt want to take a picture with her husband/family? like someone mentioned they can do it in a private room before or after the event where only close family would be present. 
and wot will she do for the walima? surely the boys side will have a photographer…
Re: What if a bride doesn't want her pics taken?
Well a friend of mine did the same and her cousins without telling her made a video on digital camera and after marriage, when she got to know this, she was after them k please mujhay bhi dekhao main kaisi lag rahi thi aur yeh k mujhay pics aur video ki copy dou takeh main bhi record rakh sakoun. That bride had stopped both sides from taking pictures . Her cousins were so offended they decided they won't give it to her but then u know softheartedness they give it to her and now she has a cd of it. with pictures printed. Offcourse, kuch saal baad bachay ko kya batana hai k us ki maan shaadi per kaisi lag rahi thi.
