I understand that, to each it's own. Couples choose the wedding... where it takes place, who the minister and the photographer. All weddings have different traditions. One may not agree to the traditions, but respecting the couple as they choose the wedding they planned. It takes a lot of planning and work to prepare that.
The minister should be polite to ask photographer to move back or change position to take snapshot. Threatening to stop the ceremony is over the top, I'm sure all couples do not want a ruined wedding day.
He actually did ask the photographer to move, and he was curt, but polite. He didn't get irate until after the photographer started arguing with him. When the photographer was arguing with him, that was when he said he was going to stop the ceremony.
The priest was just doing his job. every ordained minister i personally know (and I know a LOT) would have done the same exact thing.
watch the video again, the videographer eventually moves when he realizes he is holding up the ceremony. The bridesmaids are all doing what they were instructed to do (which means ground rules were laid out during the rehearsal) and were facing the congregation.
Everyone was doing what they were instructed to do - except the videographer.
