Is it rude for a guest to take photos during the ceremony? I know that you should not use flash because it could mess up the prof. photos.

I think it's rude to randomly snap pictures of the actual ceremony simply because it is a personal moment (particularly when in a place of worship). That's just my take on it, though. I see photos of ceremonies all the time, so not everyone feels that way!

At one of the weddings I went to at a church, it was requested that there be no flash photography (but this was bc of the photographer, not the church). I've never actually been to a wedding where pic taking wasn't allowed.
There are some churches that prohibit it because the ceremony is considered a worship service.
Personally, I find that the ceremony is a worship service and should be revered as such. Then again, I also have issues with clapping in church (except for clapping for the childrens choir).
The church I am getting married at requires no flash from anyone (even the pro photographer) because it is a religious service, & he also doesn't want the flashing to distract us.
