When I was shooting weddings, I generally didn't mind guest snappers, as long as they didn't use flash. But flashers can screw up exposures, so I would usually buttonhole those types and ask them to put the flash away. I've also run into a few snappers who wouldn't hesitate to step right in front of me. They always got a tap on the shoulder and a very direct suggestion in regard to where they should go.
