As I put the finishing touches to my most unusual wedding this year, well I say that! It would be fair to say in many sences it was your standard format, with one noteable exception... I was not permitted in the church. I was aware of this in advance, and respected the wishes of the client not to consult with the church in advance, however when I arrived at the church early in the day I happened upon the vicar who was kind enough to advise me that under no circumstances was I to bring my equipment into the church and if I did so, I would be escorted out. No amount of reassurance, along with my usual "I'm a card carrying bible believeing christian and we respect the importance of...." yes I had more to say but no she was not going to hear it, had any effect whatso ever. Well I thought (or wish I had been able to think, you see it was raining outside) I will film people standing outside before the service and be able to film them while they are chatting outside afterwards. OH NO - you did note my comment about it raining! Well suffice it to say everyone ran into the church - including the bridal party! Everyone also stayed in the church afterwards, and I was still unable to press the little red button. The moral of the story is Check with your church that they will let you film your wedding. If not I am always happy to chat with them. There was another 2 weddings this year where the starting point was no but after discussions and in one case the transfer of monies, we were able to capture it. If they will not let you, please let me know anyway - I am still trying to understand why and conversations always make things interesting.
