Jul 12, 2012 19:57 | #6 Does this mean that the other two cousins are the bride and groom? Be sure and get some good shots of the banjo player. https://www.flickr.com/photos/22055591@N05/albums

Photographers everywhere with DSLR's and flashes going off! Multiple photographers trying to out do each other and getting into fist fights because more than one photog wants to spend time with the bride at the same time.

DanFrank Senior Member  380 posts Likes: 3 Joined Dec 2010 Location: Buffalo, NY More info | This is a very interesting topic. I got married almost 2 years ago and had pictures done at a certain popular area. We'll, so did 15 other wedding parties. By me, there are like 10 or more popular spots for pictures. My point being, I would say it would be acceptable to walk around and take pictures quietly. You could even go to a reception hall prior to anyone getting there and steal a few pics of the setup. I would however NOT ask for pictures, go to a church or go during the actual reception. That would be unacceptable.

You're going to disrupt someone's wedding and piss off the pro who is doing the actual wedding shoot; not to mention the fact that no one is likely to pose for you so you will be trying to steal every shot.
