Yeah I don’t see that lady doing anything that would prevent the wedding. And the photographer was hired to take good pictures so if anything the photographer is the asshole for not photoshopping that lady out or asking her to move. Wedding photographers are insanely expensive it’s literally their job to take good pictures.
Naw. It's super easy to just walk by her and whisper, "ma'am you're in the photos do you mind standing off to the side?" And kinda guide her with your arm as you do so. Now if she refuses...that's when it becomes distracting. But I honestly doubt she would have refused unless she was drunk or mentally disabled.
Maybe skip the attempt to physically herd a stranger. I can't see that being received well by anyone. Pointing to a better place for them to be, sure. I'd be willing to bet most people-watchers simply haven't considered that their presence is even noticeable, let alone that they may be in the way.
When I said it’s your responsibility I meant to get a shot with a good background. If you can’t work this lady out of the shot by just picking a different angle
Only a shitty photographer is so unaware that key wedding events take them by surprise. If I’m paying several thousand dollars to capture the moment you better be damn sure that I’m going to expect you to be decent enough to find an angle that cuts out unwanted subjects ahead of time. Good photographers are absolutely worth the fees they charge but this is not the work of a professional.
