This is not only a courtesy to other photographers, but to the bride & groom as well. They hired the photographer they wanted, and want that person to be able to do his/her job without others getting in the way.
If an un-hired professional tried to do what you described in the U.S., they would be asked to leave. If they didn't leave, they'd be arrested for trespassing. U.S. laws are very clear...if you are on private property and asked to leave, you must leave or you will be arrested.

Well, it's very different here. The only thing I can do is ask my customers to let them know in advance that they will not purchase anything from them so they can leave. But this persons never contact the couple or parents until the end of the ceremony (We have a saying in Mexico "It's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission")
I guess I'll have to reinforce that my customers aproach this people before the ceremony and ask them to leave.
Anybody has a recomendation for the portable printer?
