The mother of the bride was saying to me "Do this type of picture this way "AND that way! Turn my daughter this way! Have her here.....there....over there.....Put the lights here in her face!! So!!!! I said "Excuse me Mrs Jones.....When you go to the dentist do you tell the dentist how to do his/her work"? She said "NO"....I said "Then why are you trying to tell me how to do my job"? She hushed up and I did nice work from that point on. What's with these people? My wife said I should have kept my mouth shut. I say I should have and "WILL" say Enough! when I've had enough.

Over all they were very nice people. But the Mother of the Bride did bad mouth me big time after she had a few drinks.

I would have probably said "Thank you for explaining to me what you want. Now, just look beautiful in the pictures and I will do a great job for you". It is non-confrontational and let's you be in control.

You should have handed her the camera and said "Here Mrs. Jones, since you are such an expert at photography why don't you take your daughters pictures and save her some money. Or better yet tell her "For the grooms sake I hope your daughter doesn't know as much as you think you do.

You said it perfectly. It was not rude to tell her that you know what you're doing. It is aggravating when people think they need to tell you what to do and how to do it when you are the pro.

You did nothing wrong. You were hired to do a job. Not have someone tell you how to do your job. Congrats for standing up for yourself.
