A wedding photographer is being praised by internet users everywhere after footage of her pushing the bride’s stepmother out of the way so that she could capture the couple’s first kiss went viral.

Shot last month in Kentucky, the video shows photographer Ashley Easterling push the stepmother aside when she got in the way of the bride and groom’s kiss.

“I politely asked several times for [the stepmother] to move,” Easterling explained. “She popped off something smart… I told her I was the paid photographer, then she told me I wasn’t doing my job and walked right in front of me. Nope. I’m paid to do a job, and dang- this girl is doing her job one way or the other.”

Wedding guest Trenton Ray Hensley captured the moment on camera, and bride Lorna Gannt, 24, praised Easterling for her swift action as she shared it on her Facebook page.

“Watch my photographer push my step mom out of the way to try to capture our moment,” Gannt wrote. “She doesnt find it very funny. But I do. Lmao Ashley is a savage.”

Hensley said that this was not the first time the photographer had gotten in Easterling’s way.

“So the photographer finally shoved her out of the way with a grand shoulder bump,” Hensley said. “I was shocked, but also proud of the photographer as she was paid good money to get those shots — not the stepmother.”

The video has been viewed millions of times, with people all over the globe praising Easterling.

“Don’t mess with her mission,” one person said, another adding. “That’s why you pay good money for a photographer/bouncer lol.”

“I’m hiring her for all my photography needs!” one woman exclaimed.

Easterling is hoping that the video will serve as a reminder that wedding photographers should be treated with respect.

“My hope is that people see this and realize that it’s not about them, it’s not about me or whatever photographer is shooting a wedding, but about the bride and groom,” she said. “They hired a professional for a reason. Please have respect for the bride and groom and the photographer. The photographer is there to do a job and they were hired by the people there that matter the most that day. The Bride and Groom.”
