Very familiar. Came to a friends UK wedding, the hired photog was bound by these limitations.
Only allowed to stay in the back of the church and only shoot at the signing. A pity I knew this poor lad......stole one of his bodies in broad daylight straight out of his hands and played uncle Bob.
But in this case if its from the couple, obey the rules....
It\'s the uncle Bob\'s and the \'take 1000 pictures with flash standing everywhere\' photogs that led to this contract. Just prove you are the better and discreet photog.
For myself let the church get to know you. Get to the rehearsal, meet & greet the vicar AND the rector. Contract mentions unless the rector approves
Start making very very discreet no flash pictures from the side. If they appreciate your style the rector can give you permission. As long as you honor the church, stop taking pictures at the holy moment, he will hopefully meet you halfway and allow you to take discreet pictures from the side, without flash.
Anyhow, if you are discreet you can bend the rules a bit during the ceremony. Just stay \'invisible\'
