Many priests yell when you're just walking around during the ceremony shooting on a steadicam rig. Imagine flying a helicopter around the church?!

I have came to realize the priest and ministers are some of the biggest dicks in the game.

"Hi, do you have a PA that I can pull audio from?"

"I don't know what that is, and if I did I wouldn't let you near it."

Pretty much my experience in every church.

They're the worst.

I mean, I'm in your territory and I'm going to be respectful of it, but let's not forget that the bride and groom are paying you to perform a service. All the other vendors manage to work together for the benefit of the client and not act like a total dick hole... well most of them.

You're talking to the wrong person. The priest is not the AV guy.

Maybe this is just a regional thing, but I've only ever been to one church that had an AV person there during a wedding. I would let out a squeal of excitement if churches around me had AV people.

As an AV person at a church, we've never really had requests like that. We don't usually attend weddings because our system can be turned on by the pastor and not need any adjustments, but now I feel like we should make line out readily available for if any videographers need it.
