That seems totally fine. If he is upfront with clients that images are AI generated/uptouched, not real photos, and that is what they are paying for, that's just called running a business that innovated a saturated market. He found a way to produce a product and do it cheaper than everyone else.

Does it kinda cheapen out the experience from not capturing "real" memories? Personally I'd say yup. But that is my personal preference and not that of the clients.

Given that he does photos for 10 brides a day and still has free time, he must've been upfront about it.

I don’t understand how because to make people look hot using ai you still need to make real pictures.

So either they just expanded the business with a popular side project or he has customers send their own pictures (which are rarely in the format, proportions, light conditions you need)

Most likely it never happened.

"Send a photo like this and I'll AI it up"
Client sends a photo like the one anon asked
anon runs the photo on AI thingy, gets some results
anon shows the result to client

I suspect the pics only need to have the person a similar enough pose to what they want, the AI generates the clothes and environment

Personally I would be more disturbed if he offered and delivered real photos but never had showed up at the wedding (to my knowledge as the client).

Agreed.

Does it kinda cheapen out the experience from not capturing "real" memories? Personally I'd say yup.

And as long as other people feel the same way, regular photographers will still have clients.

But pretty much all wedding photos are edited, so none of them are real photos.

Plus they are so generic that 99% of people you show them to will have forgotten them a second after the photo leaves their field of vision.
