...if you googled one of your photographer candidate's names and you found a bunch of weird porn goth photography?

I'm assuming this is not a hypothetical situation?


Um I'm not sure, I guess if it was artistic then it would be fine but if it was all our porn I may be a bit put off. as long as he didn't ask me to don a leather mask and whip with my wedding dress I guess it would be fine.

I might ask them about it - not directly at first but maybe a "So what kind of work have you done in the past?" and see if they give it up.  They could be just trying to break out of that.  If they acknowledge it and explain, I would still consider them.  If they get weird about it, I'd be inclined to think "Creep!" everytime I saw them, which could lead to some interesting facial expressions in the wedding photos .


Be a funny story to tell at your future anniversary parties!

Hmmm, IMO 'artistic porn' would be something like nudes - so when you look at them you can see that there's a non-sexual message.


IMO 'Weird Porn' is anything that is explicit and is meant to be shocking in it's nature, with no other distinguishable purpose.


My guess is that's it's no David ...

I think it might make me like them better.

I'm kidding...but your post did prompt me to google my own photographer. She's clean!

For a serious answer to your question, I think it would depend on how well I liked their wedding photography. If I loved it, I could overlook the weird porn. If the photography was just so-so, and there was a photographer with equal skills, I might pass on the goth-pornographer.

what about this???  i've had several friends who have posted their wedding pics online.  what if you post yours online, and all of your friends and family have to see all the weird porn goth stuff while looking at your photos?

Unless he is a damn good photographer, I would give him the ol' heave-ho.

I would probably think it was funny.  As long as he was a good photographer, I don't think I would be bothered.
