Question

How are we handling pictures/social media for the wedding?

Answer

We welcome guests to take photos during any event EXCEPT of the ceremony itself. We have hired a professional photographer, and we ask that NOBODY has their phones on during the short ceremony. We do ask that any photo that you take that includes Joanna either does not get posted online, or you cover her face with an emoji (seeing as we do not want her to have an online presence at this time). We are excited to share all the professional photos with everyone, but if you post any of her photos online, she needs to be accredited via water mark or social tag (@a_richardsonphotography) in accordance to our contract.
