The Importance of an Unplugged Wedding

 

What is an unplugged wedding?

An unplugged wedding is where you request that your guests turn off their phones, cameras, tablets, and other devices during your ceremony.

What are the benefits?

There are many fantastic benefits to having an unplugged wedding:

•    When guests use their personal cameras, there are many ways that this affects the photography that you are actually paying for. Guests often are taking photos at the same time we are, and their flashes interfere with our cameras, leaving you blown out completely (and unsalvageable) or having weird shadows or lighting throughout the photos.

•    Guest cameras can leave a red or green dot from their focusing mechanisms. These will show up in our images.

•   If guests forget (most do) to turn off the noise on their cameras, they can be very loud and distract when taking the photos.

•    Speaking of distracting – let’s talk about iPads, Galaxy Tab, Pixel and other tablets used to take photos. They are HUGE and are incredibly distracting. If we are taking a wide picture of your ceremony, your eyes will go straight to the tablet and completely ignore the beautiful couple exchanging vows.

•    Guests will often get in the aisle or stand in front of the professional photographers, blocking their shot. Sometimes, it is too late for us to be able to get them to move, and we certainly don’t want to upset your guests by making them move.

•    During family formals, guests will often stand around photographers to get shots of their own, which can create harsh lighting if they use their flash. Even if they do not use their flash, it causes the group to constantly be looking around, leaving wandering eyes. It is hard for the photographer to get a good photo with everyone looking at the camera when there are multiple people taking photos around you.

•    Most importantly, if your guests are taking photos, they are not fully able to enjoy the moment. They are absent and distracted by their picture taking and posting.

•   We highly recommend having your wedding unplugged, but respect your wishes if you choose not to. If you have any questions concerning this or how to unplug your wedding, feel free to contact us, and we can chat.
