'This bride don't have an ounce of shame': Jealous bride leaves photographer speechless after asking to post her photos more frequently

There's no such thing as a perfect wedding, but many people expect that anyway. They know that objectively things might go wrong, but they have very high expectations regardless. Still, if even 70% of your wedding goes right, you'll hopefully have a dreamy day with the love of your life and the friends and family who are there to celebrate with you.

Weddings used to be rather private affairs — you'd have your photographer capture photos of you before the wedding with your families, snap some shots during the ceremony, and maybe you'd ask them to photograph the reception as well. But this is the 2020s now, and everything is public. Sure, you have a private-ish wedding for your friends and family, but the bride and groom are going to spend months posting photos and videos from their big day. Social media makes people feel like they have to share everything, and bragging about their big life events is a huge part of it.

This bride was feeling the post-wedding blues, but instead of reaching out to a friend or a therapist, she contacted her wedding photographer! The photographer was very kind to this woman, but her requests were just bizarre and not especially appropriate to ask of a vendor. Check out the full story below, as well as helpful tips from commenters who supported the photographer.

Here's the voice note:
"Hey, girl. So, this is so awkward, but I really just feel like I need to check in with you about it.
So when you shot our wedding in May, it just brought me so much joy and happiness when you would post about our wedding. And, since then, obviously you've shot other weddings, and you've been posting about them,and I guess I've just been kind of jealous.
And you know, my husband and I invested a lot in having you for our wedding, and I don't know, I just get jealous. I just didn't know if there's anything that we could do about it. Any way that we could approach this issue, just let me know. Thanks."

As some people noted in the comments, for many people, a wedding is the pinnacle of their young lives

So when the festivities have passed, it leaves a void that they're unsure how to fill. It seems like this bride is searching for something, but she's just not quite sure what will heal those "post wedding blues."

This is the right idea!

The photographer's social media isn't supposed to be a space for friendship or highlighting one special bride over and over — it's a work account. It's not especially appropriate to feature a client just because they're having complex feelings about their marriage. If anything, it might be a good time to offer her the finished photos ahead of schedule (for a fee, of course) so that she can post on her own accounts to her heart's content.
