For many, it’s the day they have been waiting for their whole life. The dress is beautiful and the flowers are perfect, now it’s time for the money-shot…Until your Aunt Janice steps in the aisle and takes a picture instead.

It may seem rude to tell your guests to put away their phones during the ceremony, but chances are you paid for a photographer to take the perfect pictures. There are no do-over’s during the ceremony and often photos (like walking down the aisle with your father) are ruined by guests stepping in front of the professional photographer, or flashes that white out the picture.

To avoid these photo blunders and bombs, many brides and grooms are opting for an ‘unplugged wedding.’ By having your family and friends put away their phones and cameras during the wedding, the photographer you hired is able to get beautiful shots, and your guests are able to focus on the ceremony instead of their phones.
