Question
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Answer
Please feel free to take as many photos as you like throughout our wedding celebration, but note that we have hired an incredible photographer (also named Claire) to capture the event. Preferably, no phones will be in our ceremony photos, but the bride loves pictures, so if you do take some during the ceremony, make them good! There will be a QR code for a shared album at your reception seat that will allow you to upload every photo you take throughout the evening. We’d love to see our special day through your eyes!
