Question

Are we allowed to take photos at your wedding?

Answer

We ask that you please do not during the ceremony. We have hired a wonderful photographer and would hate for you to be leaning out or standing up to take a photo and ruin a perfect shot for our professional photographer. However, AFTER the ceremony, PLEASE take as many photos as you can and make sure to share them with our wedding QR code. The code will be available throughout the venue for you to scan.
