I like to hit that priest in the face.

No a few of you here are troll producers.

In my 6 years on this site, i hardly call anyone trolls.
Now i'll start calling in return !!!

Trolls usually don't throw out the name. Well at least not until they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. The evidence speaks for itself. Way to try to diffuse your own troll-dom.

In his defense, I have to say again that I think he's the second kind of troll -- unintentional.

I can't decide of that's tragic or hilarious.

People further produce them by constantly responding to them.

^That is not producing them,that is responding to them,two polar opposites.

i'm being nice and polite here, telstra. When you asked me to stop responding to you, i did. I stopped. We had a contract of sorts. You don't talk to me and i don't talk to you. However, when you quoted me and responded to my post to someone else, you breached that contract, especially when you said you weren't responding to me but to someone else. The contract didn't exist anymore, and it didn't exist because of you.

Just because you've never called anyone a troll doesn't mean you can't be one. You work very hard to rile people to response, to anger them, to get them to argue with you. And, like quoting my thread, you bait them into action. Those are the actions of a troll. You don't post for discussion. You ignore any 'discussion' which comes your way. Ignoring people is an excellent way to raise their emotions and to cause confrontation.

Whether or not you even realise it, that is what you do. You cast out bait and lure people in, and then you cast blame where it doesn't belong.

Nobody made you do it. Nobody is making you do it. You do it all by yourself.

I'm not the only one telling you this. There are a lot of others telling you the same thing. We can't all be wrong.

troll #1 ............

Troll # 3 .............

If only more priests and pastors had the guts to do this. I'm sure that the priest/pastor had a set of rules and someone didn't tell the photographer about the rules. Photographs can be taken before or after the ceremony.

The same thing happens during Baptisms and Christmas programs in some churches even when photos are specifically forbidden during the service.

^ I'm guessing I'm Troll #1 (an assumption on his part).
And apparently I hate his guts (another assumption on his part).

He won't believe this, but neither assumption is true.

 

[roadtripboy]

In my opinion the "priest" was out of line. The couple paid for the photographer to be there. If the priest had guidelines about where the they should stand, he should have voiced them BEFORE the service started. To do it during the service was crass.

If they have the guts to do this more,
I can guaranteed that there won't be many weddings for them to perform.

Never heard this definition of the unintentional troll, but tragically I'd say that fits many people, including the OP.

"Doug, I only said the priest was a douche simply because he was being a giant douche. There are no if, ands, or buts about it. Douchbaggery comes from all walks of life. Just because he wears a little white collar does not exempt him from being called out for his actions. Because of his Holy Douchebagginess the couple have no photos of their wedding ceremony, only the taste of a bitter old man with a vendetta against modern technology."

 

[thewiz]

I used to do marriage prep and ran across one priest much like the one in this video. He stopped a wedding when the bride got a case of the giggles and proceeded to lecture her until she was crying. A marriage is between the couple; a priest or rabbi is representing the church and/or pronouncing a blessing. The priest misrepresented his position in this situation.

With that said, the photographer should ensure he/she is invisible because the ceremony is not about them. This should have been made clear prior to the wedding. It also should have been understood by the photographer. My best friend is a professional and earns six figures doing weddings; he also did our son's. I can say I never noticed him during the wedding which is what a pro does.

There is no such thing as an unintentional troll, by definition trolling is deliberate.

The unintentional actions of somebody that are similar to trolling belong to a different kind of person, a Bona-fide imbecile.

 

[MakeDigitalLove]

Responding to them the way people do makes them do it more. They are getting rwactions. Which is why they do it.

Interesting thought. But how do we know he didn't explain it beforehand and the photographer didn't just blow it off? Then again, one would expect professional photographers to understand that being up like that during the ceremony could be quite distracting and therefore clear it with the priest first.

That's the thing. Do you really want priests to treat professional photographers as if they are complete imbeciles or to treat them as mature, thinking adults who have a modicum of common sense. In either case, as soon as the priest mentioned something, a professional photographer should have backed off.

It seems hard to consider the photographer not at fault without first admitting him to be a complete moron, regardless of whether or not he was specifically told to not interfere.

I agree,still does not make you produce one,like a rabbit out a hat,the same as turning water into wine has the same effect. Yes Telly could troll for the olympics. That does not mean we are responsible for his actions.

 

[gsdx]

Precisely what I have been saying. He was close enough to the priest that his camera shutter could be heard on the microphone, and he could clearly be heard speaking. He should not have been standing beside the priest, whether or not the bride and groom had paid him to take pictures.

The priest is part of the ceremony. The photographer isn't.

Troll #5 ..................


people who admitted they did only 2 or 3 weddings know nothing about wedding photography.
