In churches, will my photographer be allowed to approach the altar for close-ups?
If your photographer is restricted to the back of the church, there is obviously a limit in the types of images capture. Long telephoto lenses can compensate, but there are many angles that are impossible to get from the rear of the church. Sometimes they allow only half way up the alter, which is better but not close enough to get what we’d like. Remember that most your photos will be the back of you in this case. Also remember to ask before hand if there is a balcony and if your photographer can go up during the Ceremony. My motto is always be respectful but try to get the images as well.
