Guess what, the couple might actually want to print these photos out, hang them up in their newlywed home, put in a wedding album, so please think about respecting the couple and the photographer, and let them take high-resolution and high-quality photos that they are being paid a lot of money to be there to take.
#UNPLUGGED CEREMONY REASON PROFESSIONAL#
Most of the time, those answers are ‘no’ from wedding guests, so why jump in front of the professional photographer who is paid to be there to get a crappy iPhone photo you won’t look at after the wedding day? Something to think about if you are a guest and want photos on your phone…Īre you going to print the photos you took on your phone?Īre you going to hang them up in your home?Īre you going to make them your new profile picture or your phone background? They have hired a professional to take the photos, so just sit back and relax, or else…” lol Something like “The Bride and Groom ask that all guests put away their phones and cameras and be present with them during this special moment”. Even make it threat-like even if necessary. #2) Ask your officiant to start by saying to have everything put away RIGHT FROM THE START. Big bold letters and even let the people hanging out the ceremony program or ushering you in to mention to have all phones and cameras put away. #1) Have a BIG sign at the beginning of your ceremony area stating that its an unplugged ceremony. So how can you prevent this from happening? Most photographers now have this clause in their contracts that says they are not held responsible if a guest whips out their phone and gets in the way during an important moment, but still- you don’t want to risk that happening to you. Yes, you get your guests’ photos sooner, but do you want professional, clear, awesome photos? Or one from your aunt’s phone? With everyone’s phones out, most of the time, they get in the shot of the bride walking down the aisle, the first kiss, and everything in-between. Why would you want to settle for iPhone grainy photos that might not look good. This is why you hired a professional photographer to capture your big day- to have nice photos of everything. #2) Phones and Cameras won’t get in the way of the photographer. Having an unplugged ceremony allows them to be stress-free, even though it might be tough for them, and enjoy the ceremony that only happens once. It’s also an instant-gratification thing where people have to be the first ones to post about you getting married- even though most people know about it already. Some guests like to think that if they get photos on their phone first, they can be the first ones to post on social media and be super cool because they were the first ones or they got a better shot than other people. Duh, you hired a professional wedding photographer to take your photos so they shouldn’t worry about lame phone photos. Guests will be way more relaxed if they are not the ones having to take photos.
#1) It makes everyone present and enjoy the moment.
#UNPLUGGED CEREMONY REASON HOW TO#
So today on the Banter, I’m going to share a few reasons why you NEED to have an unplugged ceremony and how to make sure it stays unplugged. It’s really annoying as a photographer, because then these phones and cameras get in the way of the shots I’m taking and might end up ruining their professional wedding photos. Today, I’m just going to say one thing: PLEASE HAVE AN UNPLUGGED CEREMONY.Īs a wedding photographer, time and time again, I have seen couples have a big beautiful sign at the front of the chapel or ceremony area asking their guests to kindly not have any electronic devices, phones, cameras, anything out during their ceremony, AND THEY STILL DO IT.
