A venue just contacted me asking for images - no problem! Also in the same email: “You will likely guess that we get a lot of requests about our recommended suppliers list. Having recently updated this, we'd like to let things settle for the time being so as to not overload our clients with too much choice.” So, they like my images enough to want to use them to promote their venue (for free), but won’t recommend me in return? It’s a no from me…

一天內	DJ LEEOR dj_leeor_	Hey 👋 a dj here...in the same subject, two hotels that I'm not on thier preferred vendor list, asked me to DJ their employees holiday party for free, I told them that I'll do it if they add me to the list, they said that the list is close...I mean...no shame...

一天內	Jennifer Sampson jenniferjsampson	I'm 1 of 3 preferred photographers at a high end venue and have been for almost ten years now. Took4 yrs shooting there to gain their confidence to recommend me. I am grateful for their trust/loyalty. If they added every photographer that did a good job - the list is diluted and pretty worthless. They can wholeheartedly recommend me and the other 2. BTW they told me no early on. Took yrs. Other venues - I'm happy to share images if they tag me. No requirement to be added. I get both sides.

一天內	dfw wedding & elopement photographer onthevinephoto	Had a venue in DFW recently do this to me and got SOOO annoyed with me when I wouldn’t just turn over the gallery before they answered my questions. They even wanted to print my photos out for their office but didn’t want to give me ANY info about their open houses or vendor list. Idk why these venues suddenly feel so entitled to my work for free. Weddings are a team effort.
