Years ago when I was doing weddings this would not have happened --
people were more aware then of being polite and also of the expense the
young couple was obligated to in order to have photos of their
wedding -- the best the photographer could produce.

Today, I have noticed that many people have no regard for the hired
professional - no tolerance or patience.  It seems to be a matter of
"I'll get mine and to hell with you!".  And, as was so strongly stated
here, it seems to be fun for some to just get in the way and cause
problems.

I'm sorry, folks, but there is no excuse for that kind of thinking or
activity.
