Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

Have you ever been to a wedding where someone's uncle stood in the aisle to take photos or put his phone over his head? We have, and as guests trying to see our friends get married, we thought it was annoying. As a courtesy to other guests and our photographer, no photography (cell phone or otherwise) will be allowed during the wedding ceremony. Sit back and enjoy with your own eyes and the photographer will capture the rest.
