Where are you registered?

Answer

Should you wish to honor us with a gift, a financial donation to help us establish ourselves as a new couple and family would be welcomed and greatly appreciated. Simply visit our Wedding Gifts page or place your gift in the card box on the day of the wedding.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony and reception?

Answer

During the ceremony, we are asking for all sounds to be turned off as well as phones and cameras to be put down. We’ve hired an exceptional photography team to capture our ceremony so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy it with us. Images will be available after the wedding. After the ceremony and during the reception, feel free to take as many photos as you wish. We ask that when you are near our photography team, you give them exclusive access and space to take pictures of any moments, poses, lighting situations, etc. first. Failure to do so not only slows down their work, but also violates our contract with the photographers to take pictures of our event.

Question

Can I post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Answer

Yes! Our guests as well as those who can’t attend, will want to see them too! We encourage you to take selfies and candid photos after the ceremony, during the reception, and while you are exploring the grounds. Help us capture and share special moments from the day. Post pictures with: #FromABaileyToAStedford on your social account so we can easily find them. To keep the photos coming, we’ll be sending a few gifts to the people who took our favorite photos. So get the snappin and may the best picture win!
