Question

What is the attire for the ceremony?

Answer

The dress code for the ceremony is formal. No jeans, shorts, or leggings please. There is also no theme to our wedding.

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means that all phones and devices be put away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. Why? We've hired professionals to capture one of the most important moments of our lives, and we'd hate to have a well meaning person's phone/device blocking that moment for them to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many pictures as you'd like. We promise to share all photos as soon as we can. We want you to be fully present, and want you to be fully present and enjoy this moment with us.
