The extent of the ceremony varies widely. In my case it was quite low-key; we were about 20-30 new citizens, and everything took place in the judge's chambers. As far as I recall, there were people there with P&S cameras taking pictures. Other ceremonies are much more elaborate, sometimes even held in sports arenas and the like--I am sure that on such occasions photography is definitely permitted. If I were you I would take the risk and bring your camera(s). These are festive, non-confrontational occasions, and I think most judges enjoy doing these proceedings and would not mind photography.
