FAQs

Question

Can I take pictures throughout the ceremony and reception?

Answer

In order to ensure we are all fully present, we will be having an “unplugged” ceremony. We request that you turn off/silence all devices and do NOT take photos during the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture this special moment and will be happy to share those photos at a later date. During the reception, please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like!

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Unless specified on your invitation or RSVP, we kindly ask that you do not bring an additional guest. We are excited for you to join us in celebration!

Question
