Means they are quacks and do not know how to take good pictures. A good photographer can take a picture under almost any circumstance. Find a different photographer.

The meter will read you perfectly! BTW all my friends are 18% grey when I get through with them. |

it means they are probably confusing light measurement with doing a professional and job and failing to understand that as a wedding photographer their job is to portray your very special day, get somebody else and make sure you see some of their work first

I'd say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing...especially when misinterpreted. They sound too controlling right up front, imagine how it will progress! (If you do this I'd REALLY love to hear the whole story!)
OOOOOOH, you're yanking my chain too early in the morning!!! |

OMG NO!!! Look for a new wedding photographer! Who the heck wears grey on their wedding day? Is this photographer a professional? If so they are supposed to know how to adapt and make the most of the surroundings, clothing, etc..

It would mean
1. They were too cheap to buy an incident meter or 2. They didn't know how to interpret and compensate the reading from an incident meter, or otherwise were just too lazy to do so. In other words, I'd run fast. |

Seriously now. Did they really say that?
The obvious question is: Where the devil do you go to find these wedding photographers? Did you have to walk down too many dark alleys before you found this guy/gal? Then, after you found them you had to jump right up and ask them about shooting your wedding? And they said what again? Yeah. Right! |

Go ahead and do it. It will be easy to fix the images in Photoshop. Duplicate the original into a new layer. In one, set the white point on her gown and in the other, set the black point in her tux. Merge the two and - voila! Perfect wedding pictures.

This will only work if you have him print it in black and white. You see so many people latley have been having this problem with a splash of color showing through. They must not be making the B+W filters the same ways that they used to. This guy sounds top notch.
You should be able to find grey tuxes and dresses pretty easily. If you cant, just find some that are black and leave them in the sun for a few weeks. This will make them photosensitive. |

I know that I refuse to shoot a wedding unless its shot at the golden hour, or the couple can guarantee me no more than 7 stops of dynamic range for the duration of the event.
That 18% gray clothing is a good idea though! I may add that to my requirements list. ;) LOL |

I'd ask them if they wanted to control the honeymoon as well....
eg.. "Well you can have a honeymoon but you can only canoodle in the missionary position, and then only between 10pm and 10.12 pm, and the sheets have to be 18% reflection mid-grey.." SHEESH ! |
