Have you ever heard of UNPLUGGED WEDDINGS? Unplugged
weddings encourage guests to put down their phones and mobile devices in order
for them to be fully immersed in sharing the moment with family and friends
instead of watching it from behind their tiny screens. Unplugged weddings are
beneficial for your guests, you, and the professionals you hire to capture your
wedding day on film.
Flashes and guest photography can be particularly detrimental
to your professional photographs and video. Professional photographs of important
moments can be ruined by flashes that wash out a photograph, making it too
bright to even see the bride in her white dress. In addition, they can leave
large shadows in the backgrounds of your photos making the scene look badly lit
and awkward. Another function of some cameras that can potentially ruin your
professional photographs is the red or green focus beam.
An additional hazard of guest photographers is the chance
that they inadvertently block the shot of both the videographer and
photographer who have just one chance to capture such important moments as your
first kiss and procession down the aisle. In ceremony locations like church
sanctuaries, it is particularly difficult when a guest steps into the aisle to
get a photo or video. They draw attention to themselves in the photo that is
supposed to be capturing your moment.
After the ceremony, your photographer will usually bring you
aside to take family photos, and if other guests bring their cameras, there
could be confusion as to which one your family will look at. You don’t want
wandering eyes in your professional photos; you want everyone looking in the
same direction.
Most importantly, as mentioned above, your guests should be
free to enjoy the celebration without distraction. The photographer you have
carefully selected and paid for will capture your memories and do the work
they’re trained to do. You’ll want to remember the looks on your friends and
family’s faces when you walk down the aisle not be disappointed by photos of
guests holding their devices up in the air. If you haven’t already, please check
out this article by a professional wedding photographer sharing reasons why it
is a good idea to ask guests to enjoy the wedding without technology: http://coreyann.com/blog/corey-talks/corey-talks-why-you-should-have-an-unplugged-wedding
There are plenty of examples of the situations we summarized and described here
