Taking Pictures And Video’S All During The Mass

[MissyP89]

Pictures: One person, preferably a pro that knows how to shoot quietly and unobtrusively. I once did a shoot for a class project before, but only after I had permission from our pastor and the main celebrant (my poor confessor). That was a big pile of fail.

Kisses: Yes, please. Chastely, I feel like it's a wonderful gesture in a nuptial Mass.

Clapping: Generally, no. But the parish I go to applauds at Sacraments. Once everyone is done they are introduced to the parish, and we applaud, which I don't think is bad. It celebrates work that God has just done and welcomes them into the parish family. That's the only circumstance where I find it appropriate.
