Every r/AITA story is obviously real. Sincerely, prove me wrong! I dare you.
This story is from the popular Reddit forum where strangers ask each other ethical questions after they’ve already done the morally ambiguous thing in question. Therefore, it’s definitely real and not at all made up.

A photographer told the internet a story about an entitled couple who wanted her to shoot their wedding. Eventually, they acted like such jerks, she deleted their photos right in front of them.
She asked the internet “Am I the A**hole for deleting my friends’ wedding photos in front of them?” It literally doesn’t matter because she already did it, and this probably isn’t real, but I guess it’s nice to find out if strangers agree with you?
I don’t know. Seems bad to ask after the fact. Then again, nothing matters. The universe is infinite and we are a speck on a speck on a speck. Anyway, let’s see what people had to say.
Here’s the story of a photographer who asked if she’s the jerk for deleting a couples’ wedding photos in front of them:
Here’s some background about the “photographer…”
“I’m not really a photographer, I’m a dog groomer. I take lots of photos of dogs all day to put on my Facebook and Instagram, it’s “my thing” if that makes sense. A cut and a photo with every appointment. I very seldom shoot things other than dogs even if I have a nice set up.
A friend got married a few days ago and wanting to save money, asked if I’d shoot it for them. I told him it’s not really my forte but he convinced me by saying he didn’t care if they were perfect: they were on a shoestring budget and I agreed to shoot it for $250, which is nothing for a 10 hour event.
With friends like these…
On the day of, I’m driving around following the bride as she goes from appointment to appointment before the ceremony, taking photos along the way. I shoot the ceremony itself, and during the reception I’m shooting speeches and people mingling.
I started around 11am and was due to finish around 7:30pm. Around 5pm, food is being served and I was told I cannot stop to eat because I need to be photographer; in fact, they didn’t save me a spot at any table. I’m getting tired and at this point kinda regretting doing this for next to nothing. It’s also unbelievably hot: the venue is in an old veteran’s legion and it’s like 110F and there’s no AC.
Then they decided to be even worse:
I told the groom I need to take off for 20min to get something to eat and drink. There’s no open bar or anything, I can’t even get water and my two water bottles are long empty. He tells me I need to either be photographer, or leave without pay. With the heat, being hungry, being generally annoyed at the circumstances, I asked if he was sure, and he said yes, so I deleted all the photos I took in front of him and took off saying I’m not his photographer anymore. If I was to be paid $250, honestly at that point I would have paid $250 just for a glass of cold water and somewhere to sit for 5min.
She poses the question to you now:
Was I the asshole? They went right on their honeymoon and they’ve all been off of social media, but a lot of people have been posting on their wall asking about photos with zero responses.” –u/Icy-Reserve6995
