Wedding photographers unite.... moral dilemma...

In Aust... partners can get an Australian Permanent Residency if they marry someone who's already an Australia citizen.. and I'm 80% sure that this was the case today in my job .... the guy was so stiff, so unco-operative and very suspicious... oh... what do you guys do?? I feel kinda dirty...

what DO you want to do? do you want to become an investigator and try to find out evidence and then report it? do you really want to make it your responsibility to have to report it?

Nothing I want to do.. just kinda felt ... weird why people would go through such things.. to basically say to us that his wife is heavy / fat on a set picture we normally take... waaa.. if I was his wife, I'd slap him right there and then.

You're right though.. it's there to be used and "abused".. so if they can, they can. I really shouldn't take it to heart.. not my problem. I guess it was my first experience with these kinds of clients... I just hope I don't run into the violent / rude types....

well..even if you suspect, there is really nothing you can do..

maybe he just really disrespects his wife?

but..even if you suspect they are not really in love...why would they spend the money for photographers? I would think that..they could've just had a legal marriage, get 2 witness and a commissioner and be done....

True.. nothing I can do... I'm sure there'll be plenty more of these people....

The thing was we didn't charge much coz my photo partner and I did like 5 hrs work anyway for not much... no night time reception... so whatever la... I'm over it..
