at a wedding do you get up to take better pictures or is it rude? I can never seem to get a good seat when I go to weddings which results in photographing the back of peoples heads. YUCK! We have a wedding tomorrow where my husband is the best man. I want to get some good pictures of him up at the alter. Any advise?

hm thats true, I hadn't thought about it! If he's the best man, surely you *should* be in a good up front seat in theory? But if not, maybe just ask whoever is running the show if its alright, perhaps the mother of the bride or something?

I don't attend that may weddings, so I rarely would get up and take pics.

I would ask first, though, but with your hubby in the wedding party, I would think it wouldn't be a problem.

I too don't go to many weddings, and a lot of the ones I've been to don't allow pics in the church.

I always just get better pics at the supper/dance where I am comfortable getting up to take pics.

I have seen churches were no pics are allowed during the ceremony (except for the photographer) but if any doubt, I'd ask first!

sorry so late in responding to this. how did the weddign go? i personally always take photo's - I am on the aisle or i just put my camera in the air (so to speak and take pics)... as long as your not flashing, beeping, or making noise - causing distraction, then i see no problem taking pics.

i was taking pics at b.d. today and my gf (the mom0 didn't even know that i was taking them. I had the camera around my neck, but never had the camera up to my face oranything - just taking shots... got great ones too

I would next time ask if you could stand at the back and get the photos that way, if you have a good enough camera it shouldn't be a problem.

Or you could be like me, end up where my cousin is the photographer and grab the photos for free off her. [then again shes always telling me to stop trying to learn my DSLR and start making money]
