Can I take pictures?

Answer

In order for everyone to fully celebrate our special day, we are having an “unplugged” wedding ceremony. With this, we kindly request all of our guests to silence their phones and cameras and keep them tucked away.

After the ceremony is over, please feel free to take as many pictures as you wish. If you do want to post pictures online, we ask that you just please NOT post any pictures of the bride and groom until they have had the opportunity to do so. For any pictures you post online, we would love for you to use our hashtag #becomingboulays so we can find them. Once we receive all of our professional pictures, we will share them with.
