Wedding tomorrow

Before the wedding ask the registrar what her/his rules are regarding photography. When she/he has told you this ask where would be the best place to stand or sit to cause least disruption.
 
Every one is different, it's pretty much up to the individual registrar. As jolsterj says ask before and find out the do's and don't.
 
I'm not sure if it's a general rule but at the last registry wedding I went to, photography was not allowed until the ceremony was over. In fact, there was a sign pointing this out.

In any case, the signing of the register has to be a setup after the event on a blank page to prevent the copying of details already in the book.

Its not a general rule - its depends greatly on the registrar - same with the actual register.

Last church wedding I was at not only wasn't I not allowed photos but the vicar obstructed guests with their P & S as the bride walked in

Although copying the actual register is the reason many give, not all object to this, and the register is a matter of public record so can be freely copied and copies obtained if you could really be bothered

As Jo says, discuss it with them first.

I was given a camcorder at a wedding I was at recently, as the B&G heard I was good with a camera- about 5minutes before it started. I setup at the back of the room with a spare tripod I keep in the car. Then one of the hotel staff come up and quietly says to me, "you do realise the bride's coming through that door in 2 minutes...." Uhoh, and quickly moved to the side of the room.
