If you client says go eat, or have soem food, is it wise to keep working or eat?

[ACDCROCKS]

Hi all. Iw as wondering...If you client says go eat, or have some food durring a wedding shoot,, is it wise to keep working or eat?

thanks

[-MasterChief-]

there was a similar thread on here several months ago and the consensus was -- EAT! ill add it on here if i find it.

[jessiper]

Eat! But eat fast, and have your camera handy just in case.

[spphoto]

Learn how to shoot with food in your mouth/hand :P Seriously though, I would probably eat fast (something living with college guys taught me well).

[CyberPet]

If there's nothing happening, beside other people eating... eat. If not, eat when you can, i.e. when there's no action.

[LeesaB]

I agree with Petra...I would say Thank you...and then consider what I need to shoot...if I am caught up..and nothing is "happening" then I would grab a fast, and I mean very fast meal. If not...I always munch on a few cookies or bring a granola bar...a passed out photographer is of no good to anyone.

[kona77]

I don't have the experience or the cajones to photograph a wedding but I do film them. I will eat something quickly but I always introduce myself to the DJ. He sets the tempo and I ask him to always get my attention before he/she does anything. It has worked out well.

[Tmosley]

omg, this subject, have you guys ever shot at a venu where they are mean to vendors, like i have shot at the turnup rose in newport beach, richard nixon library, newport harbor dinner and a cruise,
each one of these receptions sites treated us so bad, the bride and groom pay for a meal for you, well atleast thats what their supposed to do because we are a working guest.
anyways, the people had us eating food in the kitchen at the end of dinner we were the last to get served and didnt really get to eat because our philosophy is eat whenthe B/G are eating so you arent going to miss much,
we explain this to the people and they dont care, god i hate it when we get treated bad,

some places are amazing and feed you right up front are really nice and helpfull but others are a shame,

have any of you had similar experiences

[song4themoon]

I always eat. The best time to do so is while everyone eats. Nobody likes to have pictures taken of them while eating so use that time.

[DocFrankenstein]

I was going to suggest NOT eating for this very reason.

Let me introduce a perspective from the server's standpoint. Banquet halls have competition and are not making that much. They are always strained and the servers have A LOT of work for 14 hours straight sometimes. More often that not the bride notifies us that the photographers are "guests" right after everything began.

This means a separate table with about 50 items from 40 different places all around the building have to be brought just because "mr. photographer" wants to eat. Add on top of it the need to serve an X number of people properly and the "mr. photographer" becomes a huge pain in the neck. Especially when his courses go out of cycle because he can't eat them properly.

The point of my little rant is that no matter how nice and polite you are, if you eat as a photographer at a wedding the chances of the servant spitting in your risotto are very high.

End of the servant's standpoint.



As a photographer... I would only eat when it's set up and the plates were there before I came in. :lol:

Eat up, kids!

[SuzyView]

I eat before I go and I eat while I'm there. But since I ate before I went, I don't make a pig of myself. And if the party shoves a plate into your hands, then it's good manners to comply even if it's just a little something.

x2. It's in my contract that i'm supplied with a meal at the reception.

It's pretty normal that the photographer eats last, and not always with the guests. Sometimes good customers put me at a table, but that's rare. I ask to eat at the same time as the B&G, but that doesn't happen very often, it's too much hassel to push it.

[1kerry]

Here at Mexico when they start eating , usually the band stops playing and theres only recorded music playing very softly, so we usually take around 40 min to eat, if the couple invites us, but if not, I leave the reception hall in search of fast food outside, and I usually take around an hour, so obviously is better to the clients to invite us to eat, because if not, there will be an hour aprox withpout photos and video, and obviously is very hard to work with an empty stomach ......

[Exit]

Eat. I wouldn't shoot a wedding without food :)...and I'm almost not joking

[subtle_spectre]

I usually eat something...in general, eating very much at all slows me down. When the line, if it is a banquet style, has cleared, i will get a small plate and scurry to a corner to eat quickly while watching for action.

Now cake...that's an entirely different story! I often have to sample two or three servings to accurately guage its quality!

[sapearl]

Eat. My wedding days tend to be very very long. And even with a large breakfast, I blow through those calories by the time evening rolls around, even with a bag of some fruit and trail bars. I tell my clients up front that I do not expect them to serve me an expensive dish like their guests, but a sandwich would be fine.

The solution is much simpler when there's a buffet. Then you can just pick and choose a little once most of the guests have gotten their plates.

Again, that's why I find buffets so appealing ;) . Although I must say that it's been pretty rare that I've been to a place lacking cordiality and hospitality.

[JMW-Photo]

Wow Doc, things must be quite a bit different in Canada. Just 4 or so hours west of you I have NEVER had an experience like that.

I come to photography by way of being a DJ for almost 20yrs. I have always been fed, always had a seat, always been treated courteously, and right along side me was the photographer.

Of course, just like Tim mentioned, all of the contracts I have been a part of do have a provision in it to be fed.

If the hall/restaurant is treating someone that poorly, they are bound to lose business. I know as a DJ we always talked about what was good where and what was bad and why.

I honestly think that is if your bride and groom don't insist on you eating, you may not have made a proper connection with them.

Just my .02 partially from a different perspective.

[MrsOpie]

I had a jazz band play at my wedding last October. The band asked right up front if a meal was provided. They took a 20 min break to eat in a different location other then where the guests where. I took into account the vendors and who would need a meal. At the reception I told the photographer to go grab something to eat since the buffet line cleared. He said he ate before the wedding but I felt a little offended because I paid $25 for his meal. :(

At least its not as bad as a guest RSVPing that they will be there and then not show up. Each person that didn't show up I had to pay $25 for them. rude.

please eat.

WOW !!! that is so stupid at first i thought it was a joke ...well let me introduce my own perspective mr. server .... most of my weddings are 'all day' events ...it usually starts around noon ...i shoot preparations, i shoot church and than we have reception ...very rarely i have enough time to eat "properly" ...sometimes i will grab a sandwich in the car when i am on my way to the church or reception ......so by the time mr. server starts his work i have at least 5/6 hours of running around with my camera behind me .... so when i get to the reception i am usually little tired and little hungry ...i never ask for food i eat when i am asked to and of course when the time is right ..... i am getting mean looks from a poor server sometimes because he has to get 50 items (wow!) from 40 different places ( double wow!) all around the building ..... well i am not asking for the food ..i am just taking oportunity to fill up a little bit during hard day of work ...and i do it because i was asked to ...and if there is anyone to blame it should be the client who didn't arranged it before

... totally agree Lukasz. I feel it is not unreasonable to get a little bite to eat to keep from passing out - admittedly an extreme case from hours of exertion - but at least to fortify yourself so you can put forth your best effort on behalf of the B&G.

I don't have it spelled out in my contract, but I make it very clear, up front to the client when they hire me that I will eat at some point during the evening. This gives them the opportunity to object or make alternate suggestions; They've never had a problem.

[drogos]

I am not use to talking about it to B&G because i was starting of my wedding biz in polish community and polish people are very hospitable and if you end up on their wedding ...doesn't matter who you are ...a guest, a photographer, a mailman that got lost ...they will feed you till you can hardly move and they will try to get you drunk :) ..... ...so i am still kind of suprized when i arrive at american wedding and food is not provided but again ... what is obvious for some people ..it is not for others and i will have to learn to talk about it in advance ... i heard story from a videographer once ...suposidly a photographer got pissed because food was not provided and he took of to the closest McDonalds to fill up a little :)

[Rumjungle]

Definately eat! I tend to eat light as there are still plenty of shots to get after the meal.

And regarding all this talk about the servers. Two weddings ago, I had a great experience. This one particular server would, throughout the evening, find me while I was working the room and would make sure I had enough water or iced tea to drink. How thoughtful is that? I've never experienced that before. If you're reading this, you rock!:)

Yeah. Blame the client. Go complain. :lol:

I get what you're saying man. But don't make it sounds like you're the only one overworked.

The banquet hall has had an event on friday too. Also a wedding. And it ended at 2AM or so. And some of the servers have to be back there at 10... so their day might've begun earlier than yours did.

Wow Doc, things must be quite a bit different in Canada. Just 4 or so hours west of you I have NEVER had an experience like that.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It's all polite and everybody gets fed eventually. It all works smoothly and the food looks oh so delicious unless you've seen what has been done to it in the kitchen.

[buffalophotographer]

I think it is only common courtesy to feed a person that has been with you for 8-12hrs that day. Sometimes the bride and groom do forget to include the photg/video and Dj but I always find a open spot after everyone has sat down and started with their salads. Out of the 120 weddings we shoot out of my studio every year we might have about 4-5 instances where we do not get to eat and in those extreme cases we excuses ourselves and grab a quick bite to eat and get back to the wedding. I always carry a cooler in my car with food and drinks just in case. This way I only need to get to my car and back. Most of the situations occur at the fancy Country clubs where the plates are prob $75-100 and they charge you for everyone that shows up regardless.

[Yella Fella]

well when you shoot indian and chinese weddings, its hard not to eat ;)

but usually i shoot as and when, however, they usually insist that i eat, though i have been running around! Manage to capture this shot of the bride using chopsticks lol

holy moly I don't know what kind of halls you've been to, but this has never been an issue for me. I've always got a seat reserved for me right with all their 'normal' guests, eat the same food, at the same time at the same table as them. There's no 'setting up a table just for mr. photographer'. Courses come out the same time as everyone else at my table, and if I can't eat it that moment, then it gets cold. No better treatment, no worse treatment than anyone else.

[tommy_london]

If it's on offer then eat it!

I shot a huge indian wedding a couple of years back and the bride and groom had a table ready for me, the video guys and the 5 piece band to eat at. Great food too...hmmm I really must do more Indian weddings.

[EOSAddict]

I find all this discussion quite amusing and a reflection on how trends and expectations change. When I got married 11 years ago the photographer took all the formal pics outside the venue, all the family poses, the setup shots of me and mrs, and then b*****ed off - all done in about an hour at most. We were then left to enjoy our meal by ourselves. Who wants pics of people eating anyway?


Anything after the formal setup was left to guests to shoot if they wanted. I have no less a recollection of the day fro not having those pics. We have a wonderful wedding album.

[sapearl]

Well, I think that may be pushing it a bit Scott.... I NEVER ask for one since my bag has plenty of expandable pouches :lol: .

[Zepher]

If I am hungry, I'll eat.
I will coordinate with the DJ to make sure nothing happens while we are eating, and usually the DJ will be eating with us.

that's a very nice experience!

We never eat anything or drink anything (but water) at a wedding. I'm sure we are the odd man out, but it appears that my staff 'isnt working' and opens the floodgates to all sorts of junk later. We totally bypass it. General rule for me and my staff - No eating at an event.

Try doing refusing food at an Italian wedding and you got other issues! So maybe I had a canoli, but that was it!

Hi Mike - is there a large group of you at a wedding or just yourself?

I've never had anybody criticize me for taking a food break - maybe that's because I look old and they're afraid they'd have to call 911 if I didn't get my calories :lol: . By the time dinner rolls around just about everybody knows I've been working hard the whole day and a dinner brake is a non-isssue.

[picturecrazy]

Yeah, usually the couple practically forces me (and any assistants) to sit down and eat. Then they try to buy me drinks. Which is why I'm so amazed that people think it's bad.

[Nan08]

please don't eat! all that could happen is mr photographer could pass out and the rest of the reception is ruined. j/k, of course go eat but make sure you also bring healthy snacks/water with you to munch whenever possible..

[Village_Idiot]

This means a separate table with about 50 items from 40 different places all around the building have to be brought just because "mr. photographer" wants to eat.

This sounds like a very disorganized business.

[newgenphoto]

Eat! But eat fast, and have your camera handy just in case.

+1 for that.... I always give my clients a free hour if they let us eat. Do I actually sit for an hour and eat though...NOW WAY!

[Gujustud]

Indian weddings almost require food entering my mouth at some point or the other. Its inevitable. And who am I to complain?

But as always, my camera is always at my side ready for me to step up and start shooting at a moments notice.

Also a good idea to MAKE SURE you've got a napkin or something on you. Nothing looks worse than having food spilt on you, then having to finish your shoot with a nice curry stain on your shirt :oops: (no it didn't happen to me!)

[Gujustud]

No offense, but that seems harsh. Maybe it's the area your in and the market you serve. How interesting can shots of people eating really be and if so, how many do you need? Do people eating shots sell a lot and get requested for proof/coffee table books??

Doesn't seem like 10-15 min should be that detrimental to your business. I have DJ'd more events in a year than most photographers probably do in 3. If I remember correctly, one year I did 86. NEVER did the photographer ever not eat, never was I told that I better not eat, never was I expected to not eat.

Anyway, like I said...maybe its the market you serve.

[*Mike*]

A lot of it is image... we have way too many pictures of DJ's and Videographers eating that look very unprofessional and unflattering. I'm guessing at the hoe-down that we're doing in MS in a couple of weeks, no one would care. But, even if we do steal a bite - it won't be anywhere near the client or guests. That also means we're not hitting the buffet line...

Do you guys really find yourselves bored at weddings? Even if we're in a break from shooting there's always something to do... If nothing else, there are always detail shots to take...

We charge enough that it just seems like it would add insult to injury to ask for a plate of Prime Rib too.

[R_Metzel]

Eat! I have a table reserved for the photog doing my wedding. He will be joined by the harpist and the DJ, and any other staff on hand that want to eat. He declined at first because he thought it would make him look unprofessional. I told him my family is the most unprofessional bunch you will ever meet. All have great jobs and nice homes, but the are all stuck in the 60's, big group of potheads!:rolleyes: What changed his mind is when I asked when the last time he got to eat for free at a venue that is $125 a plate and every table gets a $250 a bottle wine (my costs). Now he can't wait to eat!!!:lol: IMO, the people working the wedding deserve the same respect and show of gratitude the guest get; without them, none of it is possible.;)

(No, I am not rich, but it is an important day! If you do it, do it right!)

[sapearl]

Well, if it's a specific type of image that your company wants to convey, then obviously this is how you want to present yourself. When I eat I always make sure to use the proper utensils and not stuff my face. :lol:

Personally, the whole eating not eating thing isn't really a big deal on the wedding day. 9 out of 10 of my clients either invite me to eat, or ask me later if I had a chance to eat something. The remaining 1 out of 10 is usually so busy having a good time that they never noticed that I was still working ;) .

At a wedding I did a couple of months ago the B&G actually had a table card lettered with my name. That was a very pleasant and considerate surprise. Not only were they a joy to work with, but they exhibited a whole lot of class to the "hired folks." - Stu

[Zepher]

How long are your shoots?
Some of ours are almost 10 hours (if we shoot the bride/bridesmaids at the house getting ready), and we gotta eat something sometime.

[Knightshade]

People typically don't want pictures of people w/food in their mouths, so if given the opportunity, I will eat...and eat quickly.

[*Mike*]

Sorry, I missed a question earlier... we typically have three, sometimes just two, people on hand at weddings.

If we have a long day of shooting we'll manage to eat something - but it's just not around clients or guests. We stay low-key with it, and since there are a few of us, one of us wandering off for a few minutes to grab a bite while moving equipment or whatever isn't hard. But, no actual meals during the shoot - just something to get by... Is it really that hard to get through a wedding without sitting down for a meal? I'd rather just unwind afterwards...

My goal is for the client to forget we're even there. The vendors shouldn't be one more thing to think about on the big day...

[Rumjungle]

Is it really that hard to get through a wedding without sitting down for a meal? I'd rather just unwind afterwards...

The hardest part about sitting down for a meal is that it makes it that much harder to get back up...especially on those long days.:)



Perhaps we can market something for the photog on the go. I'm thinking of something that is portable and will keep the dedicated photog hydrated and nourished. It must fit in your gear bag or, better yet, a Lowepro lens pouch. I've got it:

Hi Mike - np. In your case with 2-3 people shooting the wedding, I can understand your reluctance to place additional financial burden on the B&G at a per plate reception. You've got a "crew" of people and you're trying to be considerate. I understand your viewpoint.

In my case, I'm the sole photographer. I'm sure I could survive without eating, but that would be an extremely long day and I know from prior experience, and at my age, I'd feel pretty crappy afterwards :rolleyes: . I'm usually done pretty fast anyway and then back to harrassing guests for table shots that the B&G insisted they wanted and then rarely end up ordering :lol: . Oh well..... - Stu

You could get into legal trouble if you don't give your employees a break. At least if you're in the USA.

And I'm working my ass off....when they eat, I eat. Sometimes even if they don't offer I'll find the manager and weasel something. :)


EDIT: Didn't see your follow-ups at first. :oops: But even so, as an employer (again, in the USA at least) you're required by law to provide breaks.

[csm328]

I was at a wedding and the photog (in jeans) asked the B&G if he could grab something to eat. Of course they said yes and off he went to the buffet, grabbed his fill and found an open seat at a table (my uncle and aunt were on the dancefloor). Two of the kids asked if they could look at his camera while he was shovelling food into his face and he obliged. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the flash going off. He was hamming it up for the kids with open mouth full of food while they took pics of him.

I walked over and asked the brats to '...leave the nice man alone since they were starting a toast and I'm sure he wouldn't want to miss that...'. He nearly choked and rushed off.

Eat but do so with NO effect to the family and guests and always keep an eye on what's happening on the other side of your salad.

[*Mike*]

To each his own...

I did just say if we worked a very long day that we will eat - just not with the guests or their prime rib. There's usually something nearby and we have food and snacks in our vehicle. So no one is starving...and its more discrete than the aforementioned imagery - which is the goal.

Sorry.... my hot button - photog in jeans :rolleyes: . If people want to be treated like professionals, they need to dress like profssionals.

And I know there are exceptions: folksy outdoor weddings, some beach venues, etc...... but the majority of weddings are semi formal affairs in nice halls and restaurants and I believe we should treat them in an appropriate manner.

You don't need to rent a tux or formal gown, but IMHO I feel we should all do better than jeans..... not too mention the dribbling food captured to file. Sounds like a real turkey eating turkey :o .
