Not many can afford to pay just to get pics to send to grandparents or keep for memories etc David |

The parents of the "performers" would have standing to object to images of their minor children being sold. Generally, weddings are not open to the public, so an uninvited person would not be permitted to photograph the wedding. You could photograph the wedding party when they come outside the church and cross the line onto public property. But I suspect sales of such limited images would be nil. |
