Wedding Couples


After several years in this Wedding Business, I realize not all Couples are nice and sweet!

Some are nasty! Some are proud! Some are poor but act like rich! The worst type of Couples I have ever seen are those who ill treat the Production Crews!
There was one Couple whom booked me from 7am to 5pm. As usual, I arrived the Bride's Place at 7am and started working till 12pm then followed them to the Hotel for Lunch Banquet. They did not offer any lunch breaks nor a single lunch box. 

At 1.30pm, the Banquet starts and I worked through with them till 5pm. Not a single piece of bread throughout the session. No breaks no food! I wonder how could someone actually forget who is filming and capturing their moments and how could they treat the Production Crew in this manner? Not a question of, "Are you hungry? Would you like some food? We have a seat for you, please go to table X"

I am not greedy for Banquet Food but the basic courtesy in life is to be considerate.

At 5pm, they have the cheeks to ask me to continue filming them in the Hotel Room while the Brothers and Sisters sabotage them in the room. Tired and hungry, I rejected their request and I left after all Guests say Good Bye to the Couples.

The story did not end there. They have the guts to request me to add their Childhood Montage and Studio Montage into the Final DVDs so that they can have a full compilation.

I fulfilled their request without saying much.

Next, they requested me to deliver the Montage CDs to them (They passed the CDs to me earlier through my Secretary). As a matter of facts, all CDs that Clients pass to us belongs to our Copyrights Property as we are linking them to the Final Products that we gave them. We will always inform Clients to give us their burnt copies instead of the originals.

Needless to say, I informed the Secretary not to deliver. "Get them to do a self-collection" should they really want back their CDs.

Quote: Do not treat others in a manner where you will not accept when others return the same treatment to you.
