THIS afternoon, a set of paparazzi pictures arrived in our inbox — as they do every day. These photos, however, were different.
They showed Studio 10 co-host Sarah Harris — hardly a Kardashian-esque household name, familiar with paparazzi intrusion — trying on her bridal gown ahead of her wedding this weekend to IT specialist Tom Ward.
The pictures were shot from the street outside, and Harris seemingly had no idea she was being photographed and that the big reveal on her wedding day was effectively being spoiled.
The photos show Harris ducking from view, as the bridal shop attendants hurriedly try to block the camera’s lens.
We’re used to seeing pictures of famous people in their private moments. Heck, more often than not we publish them.
But before we do there is always a quick confab with the team and the editors decide what will and what won’t be published.
It’s fast. It’s furious. The lines between public and private can often be blurred, and there’s fierce debate in the office about how best to handle sensitive pictures - or whether to touch them at all.
When these pics landed, they were met with a universal, polite “Publishing these would be poor form”.
A wedding dress is the one frock a bride-to-be likes to keep under wraps until the big day. Unlike the Kardashians, we’re pretty sure Sarah wouldn’t have had a spare gown waiting around to be popped on if her frock gets papped.
Obviously others didn’t think the same thing.
Within the hour, the pictures had been splashed across another Australian news website.
Hopefully it has not put a dampener on what we’re sure will be an amazing day.
All the best Sarah.
