Top Comments of this video!! :3
I think the meal comment is a bit harsh, saying they don't care about the client. A lot of weddings are at a location that's physically too difficult to leave the wedding location area to get a meal, no 'shops' around for miles and miles, and the time wasted to leave and come back (or heaven forbid a flat tyre or mishap whilst grabbing food), it's just not realistic. If it's towards the start of the day, photog can source his own 'lunch' and snacks/drinks between venues if applicable to the area/locations, or have an esky with his gear etc, easy.
But if the 'tog has started shooting the bridal party getting hair and makeup done in the morning/up until lunch, groomsmen after lunch, all of the chaos of the actual ceremony (before, arrival, during, departure, after), then bridal party shots after ceremony (another location?), multiple family and friends combos shots, then start setting up at the reception location, couple arrival, bridal party at table, speeches, 1st dance, and on and on, ...
It's only when people are actually eating that's not a good time to be being expected to be taking photos... and that's the only time as the photographer that you also have to quickly refuel. You don't have time to go elsewhere and buy yourself something (many weddings nowhere near shops), and whatever you put in the esky at the start of the day is probably "not safe" to be eating at the end of the day...
Yes, most couples and organisers are very thoughtful, and consider offering the photographer a meal if they spot him not eating (and there's usually at least one person who didn't turn up to the wedding, so a spare meal)... but sometimes there's waaaay too much going on, and the photographer gets completely forgotten about. And you NEED that refuel to be able to make it over the final last few hurdles!
I'm not sure I'd put it in the contract personally, but it's a way of bringing it to their attention (in black and white). And unfortunately, a very small percentage of clients don't give a crap about something that doesn't affect them amongst all of the chaos, they might pay attention to something that was in the contract. Sad but true.
Even though I might not put it in the contract myself (and would NOT walk off a job during if not provided), I think it's way too harsh to make a blanket statement that photographers that do so don't care about the clients if they did. Rant over and out. Good to have these discussions though.

I hadnāt heard of these latest arguments. Photographers commenting on YT are the nastiest and most cruel in putting others down. It says insecurities to me. Weāre all on a journey. You offer styled shoots so have a financial incentive to defend them but youāre right, it comes down to honesty. If someone is passing it off as wholly their own creation then itās not right. Sure they wonāt make it but they can screw over some couples in the meantime. Thats not to say you shouldnāt put the events on, itās not your responsibility how attendees act after your event. You can only try to educate them.

Iām glad someone agrees (at least seemingly) that the āmust feed meā part of a contract is over the top and entitled.
Idk why people think that theyāre entitled to a meal provided at the expense of the bride and groom⦠ESPECIALLY ON their special day. Itās like if a plumber were to spend a day fixing the sink in my house and expected me to buy his lunch in addition to his price for the service.
Donāt get me wrong, I think itās great of couples to offer a meal as a courtesy, but thereās is NO reason in my mind that it should be expected, and certainly not demanded. People seem to think itās because it may not be practical for a wedding vendor to leave the wedding venue, and Iād agree with thatā¦. So why canāt you pack a lunch?
As for having a dedicated BREAK FOR a meal since itās a full day shoot, that I completely understand being in the contract.

There's a difference between a Styled Shoot that you planned yourself with a creative team and where you are the only photographer and these so called portfolio or content days. Those are a scam, for both the togs and the clients. And of course I care about the clients. And my meal on the day of the wedding because when I am there for twelve hours, I need sustenance.

Styled shoots should be about "what I can do" not about trying to fake it being a real shoot. Its either for fake things: magazines, stock photos, etc, or for your portfolio. I'd go to a styled shoot tomorrow if I could get images to show prospective clients what me shooting at a specific type of event would look like.
