Re: guests taking photos during formals ?
We don't have a no-shooting policy.
Poachers just never seem to be a problem for us.
Mom's cardboard 7-11 camera isn't going to produce images like yours anyway. Heck, even an expensive SLR does no good in the hands of an untrained user.
Simply ask them to shoot their photo first. The bride, after seeing how much time it's taking from formals, will take care of the problem for you. Works every time.
You don't wind up coming off as the bad guy.
A no shooting policy can be a make or break deal for the bride if she's trying to decide between you and Bob's Photography down the street.
Maybe it's me, but I think photographers make this a bigger deal than it really is.
