I just got off the phone with my Photgrapher I called to tell him that we have changed our photo spot and to tell him I got the release from my church for him to sign and he asked where I was getting married again because he didnt have my paperwork in front of him. i told him St Patricks in Bay Shore and he goes Oh no they are the absolute worst....so I said why? He said they are VERY strict with the picture taking policy, they tell them where they can stand and how close they can get etc. He said 'I have to tell you this because I dont want you to think me missing all these shots is my fault, But they wont allow me to take pics coming down the isle or going up the isle and the spot they make me stand in is across the crowd and the pics come out like someone from the audiance took them'
I am sooooo upset right now I have been crying just thinking of not having certain pics I have pictured having and now may not be able to have It is too late to book another church because my invites are already printed i dont know what to do.

I have seen pics that Duet took at St Pats and they are beautiful. I am getting married their too and I am not worried at all because of the pics I have seen. i would talk to your Photog....cause if others are getting the shots he should be able to figure it all out too

He said he shot a wedding there recently and the woman told him if he stepped out she would stop the ceremony and the organist and they would not restart until he is in his place
HA!! He's talking about Phyllis! She's HORRID! Be prepared...she WILL be mean to EVERYONE at your rehersal.
Listen, your photographer will be fine. I got married there in October. And really the rules only state that the photog cannot be on the alter (and why would you even want him/her to be?!). I have pictures of myself walking up and down the aisle, front and back. Pictures of each reader, pictures of us sitting at the alter, saying our vows. You'll be fine, trust me.... Oh and Phyllis didn't stop the ceremony once... she sat behind my BMs off to the side.

Re: SO UPSET RIGHT NOW
Did you get the diagram and the rules from the church, I'm getting married there too and from the diagram they give you and the rules they set out I there should not be a problem getting all of the essential shots that you want. I'm not upset about that part, I'm more upset about the fact that the flowergirl can't toss petals and that you can't toss petals outside the church. I wouldn't worry about the photo part, if your photographer is good he'll be able to get what you want.

Re: SO UPSET RIGHT NOW
WOW, I just saw this, that's horrible! I really hope that it all works out...I know that some churches are really really strict, when we were visiting photogs, they all naturally asked what church we were getting married in, and once we said it was a greek orthodox church EVERY last one was like thank god, they're the only ones that let us do whatever we want!

Yeah, maybe he was just cranky today, from the diagram/instructions it shows he can get pics of everyone coming and going, plus plenty of the actual ceremony. Don't sweat it, it will be fine ;) Maybe fax the paper over to his office so he can see it...

Re: SO UPSET RIGHT NOW
Every wedding I've been in, and mine as well, the church is like that. The wedding is about the ceremony so it should be sacred. But, they will let you restage it after the fact for photos.
