When you marry the love of your life, you ask all of your closest friends and family to be there to rejoice with you and witness your union. You want them to be there to share this special moment with you; you want to see their faces, their grins, and their tears of joy and excitement as you walk down the aisle. You don't want to glance back down the aisle and find people taking shots of you with cameras and phones covering their faces.
I've witnessed many situations where a guest's phone is sticking out into the aisle, obstructing not just the moment but also the images I'm capturing as your photographer. I strongly recommend having an unplugged ceremony to avoid phones dangling down the aisle and to allow guests to be more present.
There are a few ways to inform your guests if you decide to have an unplugged wedding. Tell them early through the invite by adding a line that says, “We would love you to be there, but we are having an unplugged wedding, please don’t take any photos during the ceremony.” You can also request that the officiant make a brief announcement requesting guests to turn off their phones and refrain from taking photos.
