[Ansteorra] Flash Photography at events

[Kristi Johnson]

If I may, I would like to bring some advice from the
mundane world.

I just recently got married and in the tradition of my
Methodist church there are to be NO photos taken
durning the ceremony.  What is done is the photos are
posed afterward.

I would suggest that if there is to be a major award
or such as a Peerage or Coronation that some time be
set aside afterward for some "official" photos by a
photographer of the officiating noble's choosing. 
Some of the spontenaity of candid shots would be lost
but a creative photographer with a good mind for
details could possibly help to recreate those
particular moments for pictoral record.

For lesser awards it would be kind of the officiating
nobles to take a few minutes to pose for some
handshake pictures with recipients who wish to catch
some shots if there is a camera available.

With photography after court you get a more authentic
court experience and your history preserved
photographically.

Just a thought.
