Photographer aunt gets blamed by the bride for not taking pictures during the wedding party, even though she was explicitly told not to even bring her camera: 'She's livid that I didn't document the wedding the way I normally document family events'

If you told me several times not to do something, I'm not going to go against your wishes. Especially at your wedding…If I were told a thousand times NOT to do something, you can be sure that I'm not going to do it. I don't know if that is just the kind of person I am or if it's common sense. In whichever case. I do believe there is no need to tell someone that they shouldn't do something if, in the end, you are gonna wish they had. Be straight with your ideas and what you say. Nobody knows how to read minds. Maybe someone does, but that is not something you should be expecting people to do. It's just a type of entitlement to assume that people are going to do exactly what you want, even if you didn't tell them to. Especially if you explicitly told them not to. You should be mad at them if they did something that you told them not to, not if they obey your wishes.In this story, my first thought is that people need to get better at communicating in that family. There is no need to be so weird. Secondly, I thought that if I had a family member who was a photographer, I would love it if they offered to take the wedding pictures of the wedding as a gift. It would mean that the picture…
