Photog did photos of other couple at my wedding?

So I just got all my wedding photos back from the photographer and at the end, there are a few photos of one of my bridesmaids with her fiancé (who was also in the wedding). Apparently she had asked our photographer if she could “take some photos of them together since they didn’t have any nice ones” during my wedding (i found this out from one of my other bridesmaids after the fact)
I didn’t get nearly as many posed photos with my husband as I’d have liked during the wedding, so for them to have taken that time my husband and I paid for makes me feel a little cheated, though I know there’s nothing I can do about it now. I honestly don’t want to send them the photos and they haven’t asked about them. Am I overthinking this, or am I right to think that it was an inappropriate ask?

In my opinion, it was more inappropriate of your photographer to agree to it and leave the reception than it was of your friend to ask. I think most people don’t think about the money brides and grooms are spending on vendors like photographers so they think “oh it’s just a few minutes away from the reception”. The photographer absolutely should have shut that down though. I don’t think you need to give your friend the photos, I think you should ask for a refund of what that time would cost and I think you need to include this information in all your reviews.

It was very inappropriate for her and the photographer. I wouldn't throw the photos away but I would hold them until she asks about them and then it is up to you to let her know how you feel about it. I would also extend a note to your photographer that you didn't appreciate them taking photos of other people instead of the wedding.
