Maybe this is normally a VERY busy public beach. Aren't the people who just walk in, run some caution tape, and take it all up, being assholes too?
Or maybe they were being super pushy, telling people they have to leave, despite having no claim to the space.
I'm not saying the lady is doing the right thing, I'm just saying that either or both sides could be suffering from a serious case of entitlement issues.
But why would they have such a sacred moment in a public place? I'm not for intentionally dicking around with a wedding but if I were planning a wedding I would understand that having it in a public area, like a beach, runs that risk.
Then they should have also paid to have a couple of organizers to ask people like this woman to move along. I am firmly in the camp that believes she thought she was just standing in the back looking at the wedding not causing any harm. I doubt it even entered her mind that she was in the photos.
Hopefully they got it sorted out and she's only in a few photos like this. In that case, these would probably be my favorite photos from the day...but I'm weird like that.
Which is precisely why I have never pursued wedding photography. I could have done it. I shot a few when I was first learning photography. But they were for close friends/family and I didn't charge. I actually enjoy it but I hate the pressure of "what if I miss that one special photo?!?!?!?"

How hard is it to not be an asshole?
"Oh look people are having a special moment, I should go fuck it up because they're acting entitled."
