Today, while backpacking in Switzerland I had my camera stolen. Not only does this have photos of my entire trip but the pictures I took for my best friend's wedding. I was the only photographer of her elopement. FML

Today, I went to the UK for the first time, and had the most amazing time with my girlfriend, catching it all on tape. When I got back to South America, I realized someone had stolen my camera. FML

Today, at a family reunion, we all squeezed in for a picture. I set the self-timer and ran to get in it. 2 seconds before the picture went off, some guy came up, stole the camera, and ran away. FML

Today, I found my car had been robbed. The thieves stole my GPS, my iPod and my digital camera. While I was filing the police report, the officer recommended I take photos for insurance purposes. Then she remembered my camera had been stolen. She actually started laughing. FML

Today, I went to a friend's wedding. I took stupid photos all day long and when came the moment that the bride entered the church, my battery died. FML

Today, I was tasked with taking a photo of my best friend getting engaged. As her boyfriend got down on one knee, I got so nervous that I fumbled the camera. It landed right in the lake. I didn’t get a single picture, and now I owe them a new Canon EOS R10. FML

Today, I dropped my camera into water. The good news is that it's waterproof. The bad news is I dropped it off London Bridge. All the pictures and videos of my four-month trip around Europe were on it. FML

Today, I found out that one of my best mates had his backpack, clothes, and everything else in it stolen at an airport overseas. I was feeling sorry for him all day. It took me 9 hours to remember that I actually loaned him my backpack for his trip. FML

If you were the photographer at the wedding, it should have been your uttermost and foremost responsibility to get those pictures safe and store in multiple copies. Sorry for your camera, that part is FML, but the wedding pictures are YDI.

always change your cards every day! even when they aren't full. just cause you can cram 400 pics on a card, doesn't mean you should!

I think that may be the ONLY time I've ever seen someone say "JUST a wedding."

Original poster - in this case, the one who submitted the FML.

Alright, I feel badly for you, so FYL, but you kind of deserve it for not backing up the pictures before going on your vacation (assuming the camera was digital and you had the time and means to back up the pictures). What if you had run out of space for your own pictures? Personally, I back up my camera after every use, regardless of how full the card is, so that nothing gets lost or deleted. Sounds like you should do the same. Even if it was a film camera for some reason, I would have started a new roll...

I'm guessing you don't have any, especially after reading your name.

I'm a photographer as well, but while it sucks that your camera got stolen, I hit YDI. You should always back up stuff as important as wedding pictures asap. I feel bad for your friend.
