  Your GF’a parents are just assholes. My GFs Dad and his family made me sit aside for many years while they took family photos and whatnot. They generally just accepted me as someone who’d be there but not a participant in the family stuff. His reason, and they told me many times, was we are young and in college. You know those relationships just don’t last long so you’ll probably not be together for long. Going on 11 years. That side of the family are assholes too.

    I'm with GF's Dad on this one. You're just a boyfriend, not even a fiance. You're not part of the family...yet. Non family members don't get to be in family photos. Event photos, yes, but not family ones.

      When we got engaged after 7 years I was still not allowed in the pics. Not until I was married. It caused family issues and they changed it next year for the favorite cousin and her fiancé. He also goes back and very badly crops others peoples heads onto her steps sisters exes. It was awkward as hell when her niece was old enough to notice her dad being cropped over last year. Taking pics without letting SOs is is understandable. Refusing to get to know someone because you might be gone is not. It goes much deeper but it’s too much to type.
