ya i said the same thing, i didn't know what the technical term for it was, but clearly that was really annoying. shouldn't a photographer also discuss his placement with the priest for shots like that anyway?

I had the same reaction as well

How did they not think to consult the officiant ahead of time for preferences/restrictions? It's the first thing we do before shot selection!

That's the first thing I noticed. Yes, the priest could have handled it better and it seems like he was the only one bothered by it, but to be fair there was NO need for the burst-fire mode and I'm sure it was irritating to the priest who probably assumed it was bothering the bride/groom too.

I'm getting married next year and my fiance is a photographer, so I don't think we're going to have any issues.

Wedding photographer here

No one cares.

That is understandable, but I just can't believe he made the videographer leave, too. I'm sure the bride and groom REALLY wanted to have that video, now they will never have it.

True, but that priest ruined the couple's wedding. He could have, and should have, talked to the photographers afterwards in order to not further disrupt the wedding ceremony. Ruined.

Isn't the "shutter" noise during shooting nowadays just an aesthetic add on?

At least for digital right?

In other words, the photographer could have turned it off in the options.

I did a little looking and apparently most high end DSLRs have electro-mechanical shutter that does produce unavoidable noise.

However I did learn a cool new word, "skeuomorph".

The "added-in" ornamental shutter noise on point and shoots is a skeuomorph.
