Are you saying that photography is not allowed in chapels? I never knew that. As I was looking through my mission photos I saw many that were taken inside the chapel. Of course that's the only time I've ever had the desire to take any there. Also, I'm sure we've videotaped funerals inside.
I can only report what happened: no photos taken in the chapel. I assume that means no video as well. I don't know why, I don't know who made the policy or when. Perhaps Jason or Crock can tell us.
harmony wrote:We had about twice as many people show up for the wedding than the Relief Society room would hold, so the bishop suggested we move it into the chapel.
Do you realize that the bishop went "maverick," and that the CHI expressly forbids marriages in the chapel?
I'm glad that he had the empathy to put people before empty policy.
No the CHI has not forbidden use of the chapel for years. May years ago yes. No longer for quite some time.
Shades, while I assume her Bishop is still an empathetic man, he didn't break any rules. Weddings can be held in the chapel--they just ask that you not have a wedding procession down the aisle. My husband performed a wedding in the chapel just last year.
You can do processions down the aisle as well. The handbook does not prohibit that. But I have never seen an LDS chapel with a center aisle. It makes processions awkward. I wonder if this is intentional.

The handbook does say no photos or videos if it is in the chapel. I have seen this ignored in my ward. I do not know why that is a policy.

I was married in the chapel of my wife's ward building, and it was indicated that we couldn't take pictures in hte chapel.

However, There is the possibility that her Bishop was reading from a supplement. There is a "book 2" which was cited for suggested hymns at funerals, but I haven't seen this book, so I don't know for sure. Anyway, itcould possibly be what her Bishop was reading from.
Anyone know if Book 2 states that funerals take precedence over weddings?

Book 2 has nothing in it on this type of thing. It is al for the various organizations and how they function-RS, YW, Primary, YM, etc. The policy issues are all in Book 1.
