After all, this day is about the life long commitment you two are making, not your guests’ posts on social media.Are you considering an unplugged ceremony for your wedding day? An unplugged ceremony is where guests are asked to put away their cell phones and cameras and be fully present in the moment. Sharing an unplugged ceremony with your guests allows them to be fully present and respectful of your investment. So put the pressure of capturing everything and all the moments on your wedding photographer and videographer. You have invested so much time in planning and hard earned money on your wedding day. We are all so used to being attached to our phones (James and I included) that it seems normal to capture every moment of every day.

We have actually had to change our typical ceremony set up and deliver some images that we feel doesn’t do the ceremony justice.
