A UK-based wedding photographer’s “safety shot” technique is gaining viral fame over a TikTok that’s dividing the internet. Earlier this week, photographer Adam Lowndes shared a video explaining how he always asks the boyfriends/girlfriends to step out of the photo. In the video, he called the new group pairing a “safety shot,” which brought some laughter including from the boyfriend that was pulled out of the photograph. But the video, which now has nearly six million views, has stirred up a discussion on etiquette when handling non-married partners in the family photos on the wedding day.

The video is taken from a 360 camera the photographer wears during the wedding day for behind-the-scenes shots. The short clip shows the photographer asking the sister’s boyfriend to step out of the photo, calling it the “safety shot.” The family—including the boyfriend—laughs as he walks out of the shot.

In a subsequent video, Lowndes explains that he always starts with a large group of extended family, then gradually removes people from the grouping in order to quickly and efficiently capture all the family shots on the wedding day. He says with this method, his couples don’t need to write him a list of group shots and it’s easy to keep track of who has already been photographed.

The original video garnered more than 1,000 comments. Many of those comments agree with the photographer, calling it essential and applauding the photographer fro including one with the boyfriend and one without. Several commenters said they wished they had done that at their weddings, while others regretted being in their ex’s family photos. In a later comment, Lowndes added that he once had a bride call him the day after the wedding to thank him for getting a shot without the brother’s girlfriend because they ended up breaking up that evening. He added that he always gets one with and one without now.

Other commenters, however, thought that calling it the “safety shot” was insensitive, with a few commenters saying they would have cried if they were the person being removed from the photo. Others said that the photographer could have worded it differently as a “family only” shot. In a later comment, the photographer said that he often doesn’t call the photo anything. He used the “safety shot” as a joke for that particular wedding because he knew this particular group would get it and laugh, noting that he’s good at reading people.

In addition to the photographer’s “safety shot” technique, Lowndes’ TikTok is full of behind-the-scenes videos that he captures with a 360 camera. Along with tips and tricks, he also shares moments like when he’s stepped in as the only person that knew how to put in a bridal veil.
