yes I also find it a little disturbing that this boy does not play a more prominent role in these wedding pics...you'd think since she was marrying a man who was a single dad to an 8 y/o boy there would be at least ONE pic of the "new family unit"...esp IF she had a warm and loving relationship with a little boy who voluntarily referred to her as "mom"..i might have believed it before these pics came out, but now it's pretty clear the role the boy played in the "new family"....IMO of course....

 

[Shock]

You'd think that dad would have insisted on a photo with his son. After All, when you are trying to get a new family together you try to pacify everyone. Looks like <redacted> was the odd man out.

He even has a boutonnière fastened to his suit lapel.

It's just sad.Ihey looked so happy.What happened.Everyone thought we were happy too.I remember a girl looking sadly at me saying suzanne you have it all,a happy marriage and a great husband that loves you,a good home and children.It's all gone now.Just like that.It's all gone now.I am grateful to still have my children.So I guess you never really know.

Our son and daughter-in-law's photographer probably took over a 150 photos and when they placed them on their website they only posted maybe 15 and they tried to get a shot or two of everyone in groups and more of the bride and groom of course.

Why do you say he was excluded. It looks like to me he was a part of the wedding. His shirt is very fancy and when he is standing up front he is in a suit like some of the others that looked like they were in the wedding party.

imoo

Because Mr. Romans has one son. His bride had no children. If you are trying to blend a new mom into your son's life you make damned sure his is included in the ceremony! In fact, you make a point of it! Transition periods are hard for anyone. This boy was set aside.

Yes, and a stake through his heart!

No photographer is going to travel and just take these few pictures at a wedding this large. This was a fancy wedding and I think loads of photos were taken.

But a photographer decides which photos goes on their website. My son and daughter in law didn't care for some of the photos their photographer used and preferred others but they signed an agreement that the photographer can decide which ones that are chosen for their own professional website.

imoo

Good grief! The photos that are paid for goes where the person that pays for them says. The photographer doesn't make those decisions. I appreciate your argumentative attitude, but you're wrong on this one. I speak from experience.

He was in the ceremony. They put boutonnières on the guys in the wedding party and grandfathers or father of the bride and groom.

OBE does make a good point that the photography company does choose the photos for their own website, and most likely they wanted a variety. If the website were the Romero's own family website, then we could speculate more on it.

What i don't understand is why is Tiffany not grieving? We all grieve in different ways, to be out partying when your husband has been buried less than a month ago is very odd behavior. If someone is truly grieving, they will be seriously depressed as well and most likely it will be hard for them to have the motivation to leave the house.
This was her new husband, and it happened as a shock, it wasn't like he was terminally ill and so the family could plan for it. It was random and a brutal murder. We have the widow out partying and "throwing the metal" lnnl in photographs with a big smile on her face..

I am not talking about the wedding party paying. I am sure they paid out the nose but that has nothing to do with a professional photographer displaying photos of weddings they have done on their website. You buy a copy they always keep the original.

LOL Yeah right, I think I know how wedding photographers works since I have five children, all married.

Shock, are you sure? Or would it vary depending on the different photography companies?

Thank you, MeoW! My son's photographer even blew up three of their wedding photos and displayed them on easels at the Mall when they set up a booth there. My son and his wife didn't particularly like that or one that the photographer used but they had no say so in it whatsoever. They will tell you it is their work and they own the orginals.

I really don't know what to think about Tiffany. Sounds like Cindy Sommers somewhat.

It doesn't matter.

If a person signs a contract with a photographer that stipulates the company can post any taken photos on their website without your permission, that person would be a fool. What happens is: you look at the proofs (of which there will be hundreds {you pay by the print].
Normally, in the real world, photos are taken at the party after the wedding. No one in their right mind would want uncle Joe, drunk and disorderly photographed.
When you hire a contractor, photographer, or plumber, the rights are yours.

 

[Ms Suzanne]

We were doing real good getting the facts out there.You all are doing great.

When you enter into a contract you should know the stipulations. The person with the money dictates that. A photographer will shoot a thousand pictures,(much less costly with digital cameras), and sell as many as they can to the customer. The Romeros had the final decision of what pictures he/she wants. The son was excluded. That says volumes.
A man may have several wives, but blood kin is more important.
When someone is proud of his/her child, from a previous marriage, that child should be a major part of the ceremony.

That is just not true, Shock.

Yes, you pay for the prints that you select however you are not given the negatives as that is their work product. They do not put pictures up to demean anyone. They do put up their work however to promote their website of work they have done and they pick the ones that they have chosen for whatever reason.

There isn't a professional photographer in the world that is going to travel to a large wedding and take only these few photos. They will take absolutely as many as they can hoping they are picked out and bought.

[Shock]

This was not a high dollar wedding. Are you kidding? The boys photo, posing with his father and 'new mom' should have been prevalent!
