Message: <blockquote data-quote="hark" data-source="post: 237278" data-attributes="member: 13196">Reading through a different thread, one of the OP's comments really struck me...he wanted a quiet shutter because he was requested not to photograph during a ceremony (wedding I think) but  apparently wanted to take photos on the sly regardless of the church's rules. There is a photographer named Jeff Cable who photographs many of the Olympics, and during the year some of his biggest photos gigs are for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs as well as some weddings. For one particular ceremony, the family hired Jeff as well as a second photography studio. All the photographers were told ahead of time any restrictions regarding shooting during the ceremony. The photographers from the photography studio didn't adhere to the rules so while the ceremony was in progress, the photographers from the studio were asked to leave, but Jeff was allowed to stay.My church has rules for wedding photography, and if a photographer doesn't adhere to the rules, the church really doesn't want that person to ever return as a photographer. So my question is this: when you are asked to photograph a ceremony or any situation where you are given specific instructions to follow, if those rules mean you might miss a terrific shot, do you shoot anyway, or do you ask to recreate the situation afterwards? And if you violate any restrictions, does the thought ever cross your mind whether or not you might be invited back?I'm asking this of the pros when restrictions are given or for those who are involved with religious institutions and/or other scenarios where restrictions are imposed for photography. What are your thoughts? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
