A hungry and angry photographer has deleted all the photos of the bride and groom at their wedding ceremony after being denied food.
Narrating how it all happened, the groom stated that his friend hired him as a wedding photographer in order to save some money. However, their deal ended in tears after he (photographer) deleted all the photos he took at the wedding ceremony as revenge for being denied food.
He stated how he drove around with the groom and bride to various locations to shoot prior to arriving at the venue for the wedding ceremony and reception. And in all of this, he was never allowed some time to eat anything.

Beginning his work at 11am, the photographer said he kept his cool until it was time for diner; but he was told he wont be allowed to eat. He got angry, deleted the photos and stormed out of the reception venue.

“I’m not really a photographer, I’m a dog groomer. I take lots of photos of dogs all day to put on my Facebook and Instagram, it’s “my thing” if that makes sense. A cut and a photo with every appointment. I very seldom shoot anything other than dogs even if I have a nice set up.
A friend got married a few days ago and wanting to save money, he asked if I’d shoot it for them. I told him it’s not really my forte but he convinced me by saying he didn’t care if they were perfect: they were on a shoestring budget and I agreed to shoot it for $250, which is nothing for a 10 hour event.
On the day, I’m driving around following the bride as she goes from appointment to appointment before the ceremony, taking photos along the way. I shoot the ceremony itself, and during the reception I’m shooting speeches and people mingling.
I started around 11am and was due to finish around 7:30pm. Around 5pm, food is being served and I was told I cannot stop to eat because I need to be photographer; in fact, they didn’t save me a spot at any table. I’m getting tired and at this point kinda regretting doing this for next to nothing. It’s also unbelievably hot: the venue is in an old veteran’s legion and it’s like 110F and there’s no AC.
I told the groom I need to take off for 20min to get something to eat and drink. There’s no open bar or anything, I can’t even get water and my two water bottles are long empty. He tells me I need to either be photographer, or leave without pay.
With the heat, being hungry, being generally annoyed at the circumstances, I asked if he was sure, and he said yes, so I deleted all the photos I took in front of him and took off saying I’m not his photographer anymore. If I was to be paid $250, honestly at that point I would have paid $250 just for a glass of cold water and somewhere to sit for 5min.
Was I the asshole? They went right on their honeymoon and they’ve all been off of social media, but a lot of people have been posting on their wall asking about photos with zero responses.”
Hwew!!! When our elders said “a hungry man is an angry man”, they indeed knew what they were talking about.
