She didn’t feel threatened at the wedding, she didn’t do anything but have her photographer retouch *her* wedding photos. That’s an aesthetic decision not feeling threatened 🙄

Her party her pics don't know how editing is somehow more offensive than someone intentionally trying to hijack a wedding shoot

She clearly said she just made the top a little darker in photos so she could stand out. If you know something about art and photography, you know lighter parts will attract your eye focus more, so if the bride was standing in the middle with her friend close to her, your eye would be attracted to that white spot you see with the corner of your eye, which is her friend's top. I don't understand how people don't get it, also, if it shouldn't matter to the bride, why should it matter to the friend??

You pay the photographer for making good photos and edit! it for you and your special memory. OP didn´t restrict SIL from receiving noneditet photos. And if SIL wants some extra photos SIL should pay for it.

She didn't care at the wedding. When she looked at the photos, she thought she stood out too much. Let me ask you: as a bride, what do you think you want to be the main eye catcher in your wedding photos? The bride and groom, right? And if the way the lighting and processing are done causes a GUEST to grab as much focus in a picture that the bride does, then they absolutely have the right to minimize the attention that person gets. This isn't just about "you can't wear white", it's "this bright white shirt is too attention grabbing, taking the focus away from the intended focal point". Simple. NTA

As it repeatedly says in the article, it was to do with the white blouse making the photos unbalanced colour wise. She left 3 of the 6 as white when it balanced better. It had nothing to do with jealously or feeling 'threatened'. The men's shirts were toned down by their jackets and, no doubt, their ties. We haven't seen the photos but even if we had and couldn't see a problem, it is still the bride's choice. If she prefers her photos with less glaring bright white next to her, that is entirely her prerogative. If SIL wants the other pictures so that she can drool over her own loveliness, then she can pay for them to be done again.

You don't understand how easily the human eye is drawn to bright white focal points in photos. There was nothing wrong with the stylist. It's simply human nature to be drawn to a bright white focal point. If it was some schlub in boring white painter's overalls or something, it would be the same problematic attention grabber - nothing to do with style or aesthetics, don't be stupid.
