His  mom insists on using another photographer for our formal photographs. What do you think and is this  okay? What should I do ???

So many professional wedding photographers will object to or get upset  with another photographer being commissioned for your wedding.  Maybe this  has arisen because you have selected an informal photo-journalistic style focusing  on un posed spontaneous events type photos, while his mother is happier with  studio style of more traditional, posed family portraits.  If this is the  the case, consider finding a wedding photographer who is comfortable doing  both traditional &  photo-journalistic-style photography images.  Yet another alternative is to ask your  Pro wedding photographer whether he or she has an associate or assistant  who could shoot the more traditional formals or the more fun stuff.  Consult with your wedding photographer,be a team  and check the details of your contract for other limitations on using another photographer. At Peter Bruce photo and Belle Fine Weddings, we shoot both styles and even though we keep Mom happy, it is the bride’s day and she will want to look at those photos for the rest of her life. Even after mom in law has gone bye bye…

Hope this helps, let us know
