A fed-up photographer has hit out at smartphone-obsessed wedding guests for taking 'crap' pictures and 'ruining' official pictures.
Thomas Stewart wrote a scathing post on his professional Facebook page, telling guests to focus on what is happening in front of them, rather than their iPhones or iPads.
"Look at this photo. This groom had to lean out past the aisle just to see his bride approaching. Why? Because guests with their phones were in the aisle and in his way," Stewart wrote.
The Australian photographer, who according to his website charges upwards of AU$2700 (NZ$2900) for his skills, said inconsiderate guests often wreck the special moment without realising.
"They [guests] have no idea how to stay out of our way. They often ruin many of our shots. They will make our photos worse," he fumed.
