I recently discovered your podcast and cannot stop listening! I have been trying to figure out the answer to this question for a while and didn't know who to turn to until I heard your podcast! Our photographer is awesome. We love his work and booked him for our engagement photos and our wedding. The main photographer (a owner) has 8 kids (seriously), and I have seen that he likes to bring his oldest son (looks 14 or 15) along with him to engagement photos and weddings and has him take pictures as the second photgrapher instead of a more experienced member of the team. It doesn't seem like he is bringing his son to teach him. Meaning him and his son are the team taking pictures, not the owner and another experienced member of the company. I'm sure that his son is a great photographer, but I really don't trust him to take pictures on the most important day of my life. We are contracted to have the owner and a second shooter take our pictures that day (along with another for video), and I'm nervous that the owner will try to make the second shooter his son. Plus, my wedding is from 7pm - 12:30am - how is a 15-year-old going to stay awake and focused for that long, until the early hours?  So, how do I tell them/make it clear that I absolutely do not want his son to be there and want a real professional photographer to be his assistant (without offending him)? Thanks in advance!!!!  Remember you can reach us anytime by emailing info@fromringtoveil.com   Subscribe to the podcast: {Apple Podcasts} {Google Play} {Stitcher} {Youtube} {iHeartradio} -Until next time, No Stress No Worries Keep Calm and Listen On-
