Going Unplugged for your ceremony

It's All In the Details - Summer Lavender Farm Wedding

WHAT IS AN UNPLUGGED WEDDING CEREMONY

Your wedding day is special so it's understandable why everyone wants to capture it with their phones. Unfortunately, phones can really ruin your ceremony photos. Phones are distracting and can cause disruptions during the ceremony as well as in your wedding photos.

 

We recommend that all our couples request a phone-free wedding ceremony. Don't worry, we will be there to capture every moment perfectly so no one will miss out on that great photo.

 

Every wedding package includes a photo release form so you will be able to download and save your wedding images.

 

If you want to have a phone-free ceremony here are a few tips on how to implement that rule for your guests.

  • Add a note on the invitations about your no-phone "unplugged" ceremony
  • Add a note and explanation on your wedding website
  • Create a cute wedding ceremony sign for a reminder on the day-of
  • Communicate this plan with your wedding planner so they can help implement and kindly remind guests during the ceremony

A note about weather

Rain or Shine

 

You don't have to be stressed about bad weather on your wedding day. We are fully prepared and experienced to handle any weather conditions.

 

We have shot in the rain, snow, and even a tropical storm; so don't stress. Regardless of the weather, we know how to capture the day perfectly.

 

In rare instances, a venue may call for cancelation in extreme weather conditions. If your venue issues a cancelation we will do our best to work with you to reschedule your wedding day. Please review our wedding photography agreement for a detailed description of our cancellation policies.

 

If your wedding day is rainy or temperamental, we will be fully prepared with the following:

  • Beautiful clear umbrellas for your portraits
  • Optional alternative wedding day timelines (this is usually not necessary)
