[QUOTE="hark, post: 199876, member: 13196"] My church is very strict about photography. They frown on it (no flash EVER), but they allow it for weddings PROVIDING the photographer follows their rules. The photographer can either stand off to the side at the front of the sanctuary without moving to a different location, OR the photographer can stand at one spot in the back without moving to a different location. No flash no matter what. My pastor ALWAYS makes sure that the photographers know the rules and that if they don't obey, they won't be allowed back as a photographer. In a Jeff Cable video, he mentioned being hired for some type of religious ceremony (might have been a wedding) but that the family also hired a few Asian photographers (the family was Asian). The other photographers didn't follow the rules, and part way through they were told to leave. Jeff wound up being the only photographer allowed to stay. Since religious ceremonies are governed by their own church rules, the clergy need to educate the photographers as to what is and isn't allowable. And the photographers need to be respectful because it IS a religious ceremony, and the church's rules need to be followed. [/QUOTE]
