If photographers stood up, and said no, they wouldn't even try to do it.
There is a venue in our area that USED to have a contract that stated that they could shoot photos during the ceremony/reception. The problem is that the first clause in our contract states that WE are the only hired professionals at the event, and anything else is a breach of contract.
Two weeks ago we got tired of it, and informed the venue that they were not allowed to shoot anything while we were doing formals, especially not when they were standing a foot behind us. They got huffy, told the bride that we were rude and unprofessional, and tried to do the badmouth thing.
As it turns out, every photographer they tried to bad mouth us to, told them that A.) their contract was the reason they refused to shoot there anymore, and B.) how much of a joke the venue and staff was to begin with.
Needless to say their contract has now changed, and they no longer impose on photographers.
