Question
Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?
Answer
We are wanting an unplugged wedding ceremony so that guests are not distracted by their devices and the professional wedding photographer can get the best possible shots without interference. However, we love the idea of having a variety of photos from different vantage points to document our event AFTER the ceremony is over. We invite you to share them with us!
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
We wish we could include all children but are unfortunately only able to invite children in the immediate family.
Question
Can I bring my gift to the wedding? Do you have a registry?
Answer
Your presence is present enough, but should you wish to bring a gift to our wedding, there will be a gift table for your convenience. We do have a registry connected with Zola that will incur a 2.5% processing fee. If you wish to contribute to the funds with zero fees, you can always choose the Venmo fund as suggested by Zola.
