\"Unplugged<\/p>\n

When planning your wedding for 2018 and beyond, I only have one piece of advice for you. \u00a0Give your guests the gift of an unplugged wedding ceremony. A ceremony where devices are turned off. Allow them be present, for you, for your vows and for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Over the weekend I attended the first wedding in over a decade I was not photographing. It was beautiful. The guests were told in the invitation and again in the ceremony there was to be no cameras or phones out. And we were present. We heard the vows. We wa<\/span>tched the kiss. \u00a0And we enjoyed the wedding without having to get \u201cthat post\u201d for social.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before you call me a digital prude, know that I have built my business w<\/span>ith social media. \u00a0I can\u2019t survive as a business without it. Broadway shows, court and other important ceremonies ask for our phones to be put away. Isn\u2019t a wedding more important than a Broadway show? Ok, maybe not for Hamilton fans…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not only is this a gift for your wedding guests, but it\u2019s a gift for you the wedding couple. \u00a0You can look back at your friends and family, just like your parents did, sharing in the moment with you. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a wedding photographer, I\u2019ve photographed dozens of unplugged weddings. I can assure you people need help to stop themselves. \u00a0Even grandparents are jumping into the aisle with bifocals on to snap a pic! If you book professional wedding photographer or videographer you can leave the job to capturing the moments in their hands. (This is why it\u2019s important to vet your wedding photographer, see article I wrote on this here<\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Unplugged<\/p>\n

I know what you are going to say, but that baller hashtag we came up with. \u00a0#marriedtothegamesohetookmyname. No worries here. Use that etsy wedding hashtag sign you bought. You can still embrace electronics during the reception. \u00a0Break out cameras and phones for the dances and reception madness. <\/span><\/p>\n

So go ahead have the craziest most insane wedding customized to show your style and give your guests the gift of wedding ceremony presence. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a guest what do you think of this? Would you still try and snap a pic? Wedding couples will you be doing this? <\/span><\/p>\n
