Question
CAN I TAKE PICTURES?
Answer
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means we are asking that all phones and devices be put away and silent/turned off during the ceremony. We've hired professionals to capture some of the most important moments of our lives and are confident they will capture our day perfectly. We'd hate to have a well-meaning person's phone blocking that moment for them to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want! And we promise to share the ceremony photos as soon as we get them!
