"Photographers and Videographers
Photographers and videographers are welcome to film the liturgy but may not intrude upon the liturgical action. Flash photography and external lighting are permitted during the processional and recessional, but NOT during the liturgy. Please advise your photographer and videographer that neither equipment nor personnel may be in the sanctuary (altar area) or in the doorways leading to the sanctuary during the wedding liturgy. In the Cathedral, equipment may be set up in the following locations: the center aisle, and the corners of the transepts with the nave. Pictures may be taken for one half-hour following the wedding. Please respect this time as there may be another wedding, Mass, or the hearing of confessions following your liturgy. Sometimes with all the excitement, the picture taking gets rather noisy. Please remember that you are still in a house of prayer and there will be people coming into the church."
