How do you handle the mob photographers during weddings
I've recently jumped into wedding photography and have noticed at all my weddings that the mob can easily take over my shooting space with their point and shoot cameras. Generally this is family and friends of the bride and groom. As you know during the wedding there isn't a ton of time to frame up shots or taking photos in general as the bride and groom are always moving. A couple times the mob photographers have caused me to miss a couple photo opportunities.
I would like to hear from others what do you say with out coming across as rude? I know I should have priority there, and I've noticed both times the bride or groom didn't say anything to the mob and got tied up into the mob's photo opp.
I could use some tips here.

At all times you must be ion firm control or you should not be doing wedding photography.
