YDI for not keeping better care of the pictures. Really, when you're dealing with other people's events you need to make a backup copy within the same day , especially for something like a wedding. Imagine how pissed you'd be if you found out that somebody lost the only pictures from your wedding.

you deserve it for not uploading the pictures. But it sucks you got your camera stolen.

if being a photographer is your job (i assume it is) you should have a work/professional camera and also a personal/leisure camera

Ydi for not having a backup

FYL for sure and YDI for not having the pictures dumped earlier on another device... :) There is always a chance some ass steals your camera so if you have important pictures then you should make backups ASAP... :) *stops swiinging his finger now* :P

I got the impression the OP was backpacking with the friends when they eloped. In that case, it may not have been possible to back up. BTW, I love how everyone expects OPs to explain every detail when there's a character limit.

If you were taking pictures that were that important, you really should have taken precautions, like using one memory card/film roll for the elopement and one for your trip. Or given the couple the memory stick/film roll with their photos on them while you backpacked. This is all assuming of course it wasn't a last minute decision and you just happened to be there for the occasion. If that is the case, you really should have taken the stick or roll out of the camera and put it somewhere safe. And taken batter care of your camera so it wouldn't get stolen. Of course, hindsight is always 20/20. But still YDI for not being more careful with other people's priceless memories, and FYL for the whole situation and having a camera stolen. People are low.

f her life

always make back-ups of important pictures.
