Do you know who it was? Shocking stuff. My goodness I wonder what the poor Vicar made of that one. Do you know who it was? Shocking stuff.

We were told this week by the videographer we were working with that at one wedding, the photographer explained to the vicar that in order for him not to be noticed, he would lie on his back on top of his wheeled case and "wheel" himself down the aisle so that the vicar wouldn't see him as he positioned himself looking upwards between the couple as they exchanged rings, so that he could photograph it from below! He wasn't joking either!!!!!!! How’s this for a story?

It's a shame we can't start some sort of campaign that they would listen too, the trouble is they only need to have a bad experience with a photographer or videographer and it spoils it for everyone. We had one Vicar tell us once of a photographer who shot the passage of the bible he was reading over his shoulder using flash! Can you imagine how awful that would be? No need for it either. At another wedding of ours the videographer walked alongside of the bride all the way down the aisle, proceeded to step between her and the groom and then the Vicar to pan in and get his shot and then stood directly infront of the altar with a massive tripod. Totally obtrusive. The couple were really upset with him. The wedding was last October and they still haven't seen their DVD. Totally agree!

As long as photographers are respectful and don't cause any distractions, I can't see what the problem is and why there should be such a variation in attitude between individual celebrants. It's not as if they are providing a free service - far from it! Rant over!

I don't ever want to go there again if we can help it. By contrast yesterdays wedding was at Christchurch on the Stray in Harrogate and they couldn't have been more accommodating. The verger was just lovely to everyone and took us for a walk round before hand saying "where would you like to be and what would you like to do?" he talked about how pleased they were that the couple had opted to marry in church and how they wanted them and their guests to feel welcome - including the photographers. So nice and they really went the extra mile for everyone there. All with smiles too! Yes – bet you are not looking forward to it. I don’t ever want to go there again if we can help it.

In fact it's down right rude! The result should be that couples choose not to marry there but often they aren't made aware of any issues until it's too late to change their plans. It's such a shame and we have a wedding there later this year! It’s certainly not Christian nor considerate either. In fact it’s down right rude!

It surely gives a company the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and really take part in creating something special and tailored to their needs. I must admit that this is one great insight.

The church warden came to tell her during the signing of the register that they couldn't pause at the bottom of the aisle to shake hands with all their guests as they exited - as they had planned to do and I believe discussed with the church prior to the wedding day - as they were wanting to be in the church to take the flowers out straight after the service (the church people not the couples family) since the day afters service was the the first Sunday of whatever period the Anglicans don't allow flowers in the church. As soon as the last guest had exited they very pointedly slammed the church door shut and locked it! Very, very sad that the church things it's acceptable and Christian to treat one of their couples like this on their wedding day. They were awful to the couple the day we were there.

I found your post very interesting and quickly recognised the "rules for photographers" which we've not come across anywhere else! It's a lovely church too - such a shame we can't get the best out of it! Hi Sharon

Thank you. I found your post very interesting and quickly recognised the “rules for photographers” which we’ve not come across anywhere else! It’s a lovely church too – such a shame we can’t get the best out of it!
