Did the wedding invitation state you couldn't bring "pro level" camera gear? If not I wouldn't concern myself with the photographer's insecurity. The photographer's contract is with the bride & groom, not with you and the other guests. You cannot be bound by the terms of a contract that you did not enter into.

I agree, but at the same time, one must think of the stress that the bride and groom are going through, and if the bride and groom agreed to such a contract, then others should go along with it. They don't need any issues during the wedding. It's their day after all. My beef is with a photographer that would stipulate such a thing. During much of the shooting, it would be fare to ask if others be mindful of the photographer and for others to not get in his way. He is being payed to do a job and the bride and groom are hoping he/she will do a good shoot. It's difficult enough for the photographer without having to dodge around Uncle Harry, for example, who is getting in his way. That is the only stipulation i would make. "Please keep out of the photographers way, and hold off taking photos while he is shooting." That's it.
