It kind of is, but she's making her argument poorly.

If you want a professional photography shoot, there is a minimal expectation on equipment above whatever your phone can do. That equipment costs significant money to own.

There is also the money to pay for someone's time for the shoot, which she argues for poorly. Even though photography is a hobby, selling services is a commitment of time to reach a certain minimum standard. That time is worth something.

    Then get your friends/family to take pics with their phones, and don’t hire a wedding photographer. No one is forcing you to. Just don’t then go on to complain if the specific moments you want are missed/blurry/composition sucks.

    Like, maybe this is a controversial opinion, but of all the people trying to rip you off in the world, photographers are pretty low on the list.
