To all my future brides and grooms,
This isn’t a rant, I promise — just a gentle nudge from your photographer who wants the absolute best for you on your wedding day. 💍✨
There’s a growing issue we’re seeing at nearly every wedding, and it’s something I feel I need to highlight: phones during the ceremony.
I’ve watched so many parents, friends, and guests experience one of the most emotional, beautiful moments of your lives — through a screen. Recording instead of being present. And honestly? It breaks my heart a little.
📱 A few real examples:
These aren’t things we can just re-shoot. These are once-in-a-lifetime moments — and if we miss them, they’re gone.
As your photographers, we want to capture your day as it really felt. That means catching your guests smiling, crying, laughing — not just holding up phones. It’s honestly the difference between a good gallery and a stunning one.
Of course, it’s your day, and the decision is always yours. But if you’re open to it, we encourage you to consider an unplugged ceremony — even just for that 20–30 minute window.
✨ Your guests can still have all the beautiful memories.
✨ We’ll deliver sneak peeks the next day that you can share proudly.
✨ And you’ll have a ceremony filled with presence, emotion, and connection — not distractions.
Take a minute to check out the below on unplugged ceremonies. And let’s make sure your wedding memories are experienced with hearts, not just cameras.

When Mum steps into the aisle with her phone… well, let’s just say that moment of you walking down the aisle now features some unexpected tech!
AND IT COULD LEAD US TO MISS THAT ALL IMPORTANT FIRST LOOK. 📸
📸 Let the pros do their thing
You’ve hired a professional photographer (hi! 👋) to capture your day beautifully. Mum leaning into the aisle with her iPhone or guests blocking your first kiss trying to grab a picture? Not part of the plan.
👀 Be present, not posting
An unplugged ceremony lets your guests actually experience the moment — the tears, the laughs, the vows — instead of watching it through a screen or sneaking photos for social media.
🎞 Better photos, cleaner shots, keep the aisle clear.
Nothing kills the vibe of a stunning aisle photo like a sea of phones held up in the air. Keeping devices down keeps your wedding gallery clean, emotional, and timeless. We can’t Photoshop that out (trust us, we’ve tried). You hired us to capture the magic, so let us do our thing!
💖 Focus on the feeling
When phones are away, eyes are up. You’ll see faces full of love, not screens — and that emotional connection? Priceless.
Children’s Pushchairs
Let’s be honest—pushchairs don’t exactly complement your carefully styled ceremony decor. Keeping the space clear helps your setup (and your photos) stay picture-perfect. Kindly ask your guests to leave pushchairs away from the ceremony area. We capture your wedding from every angle, so even if prams are parked behind the ceremony, they may still sneak into your photos. Keeping the area clear helps us create those picture-perfect shots you’ll love forever! 💫📸
No accidental spoilers.
We know your cousin’s Insta game is strong, but you don’t want blurry ceremony pics hitting social media before you’ve even said “I do.”
So let’s go unplugged. You enjoy your ceremony. Your guests soak in the love. And we promise we’ll be there, cameras ready, catching every single tear, smile, and sneaky look.
And don’t forget—your sneak peeks are coming fast!
We aim to deliver a handful of gorgeous preview photos within 24 hours, so you can announce your marriage in style… with a professional photo (or ten!) 📸💍✨
Pro tip: A cute sign and a quick announcement from your Groomsman before the ceremony works wonders. And if you’re not ready to go fully unplugged, consider just doing it for the ceremony — it makes all the difference.
Fire away with your questions — I’m here to help! I always aim to reply within an hour (unless I’m catching some Zzz’s 😴), but I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
I will be back soon
