Someone taking photographs when you don't know

Yes, both. Unless you are a well known criminal or have a specific reason for not wanting pictures.

I absolutely loathe getting my photo taken, but I have to agree that it is unreasonable not to expect people to be taking photos at a family event. I'm sure your son's partner didn't mean any harm by it and probably just thought it would be a nice reminder of a family occasion.

Personally I like photos of happy times.

The ones of us all at my MiLs 80th are some of my most treasured.

Wouldn’t you like some photos to look back on?

Both, definitely!!
I love the natural photos we as a family take at special and non special occasions.
I cannot see the problem with family taking photos.

Given that the “photographer” was a member of the family, yes, I do think you are.
Her father’s partner was taking photographs of her stepdaughter opening her presents? Where’s the problem?
Casual, unposed snaps of happy family events are something to treasure, not to resent.
Unless you are Prince Harry.

At a recent family event, out for a meal and first time I have seen my grand-daughter (who is away at Uni) in a while and who's had her birthday. I had taken her birthday gifts with me and sat next to her enjoying her delight when she opened her gifts one by one. Unbeknown to me, however, was that her father's (my son) partner, opposite me at the table, was taking photographs of this. I wasn't informed this had been planned, was unhappy at the photographs, and felt it was something that had been imposed upon me. I was happy to enjoy special moments with my lovely grand-daughter without someone imposing upon the situation and taking photographs. Am I over-reacting or being unreasonable?
