[quote=Anonymous]No, I am (surprisingly) with the priest.  Although he should (and may have) made this clear earlier.  Based upon his collar, I think he is either Episcopalian or Anglican.  When i was married in the Episcopalian church 20 years ago, the priest was clear that there was to be no photography whatsoever in the church during the service and we both thought that appropriate.  We could take the "before" and "after" shots but nothing in the church.  It is a sacred moment.  Since then I've seen weddings ruined by photographers running all over the place, up on scaffolding and ladders, and also, most recently at a niece's wedding where they were right behind the priest, as in this case.  it really did ruin the moment for me.

I don't think the priest is expressing anger.  I think he is being firm and I could see myself doing this.  And I strong suspect he told the couple before he agreed to marry him what his expectations or rules about cameras was and they either chose to ignore him or didn't tell their photographers.

Finally, a true professional would be using a "mirrorless" camera so there would be no click.  Although you cannot see the photographers, you can hear the annoying clicks and tell by the number of clicks that there are several photographers.  I do think that is obtrusive and out of line.  But I'm sure others will disagree.[/quote]
