Unplugged, there’s a term you are hearing now at almost every wedding, but still trying to figure out what does it mean??
With most people having a camera on their smart phone, it’s likely someone will snap a photo or get a clip of at least some of the event. However, it’s only appropriate if you have the bride and groom’s permission. If the couple has hired a photographer and or videographers it is safe the say they intend the ceremony and reception to be “Unplugged”. If you create a wedding website we encourage you to post a message there to encourage your guests to be fully present with us at the ceremony and ask that you refrain from taking photos.” If you’re truly worried about it, ask your minister or officiant to give everyone a heads up before the ceremony starts. As long as you’re polite about it, your guests will respect your decision! Another simple reminder is to have an ‘”unplugged” sign at the guest book.
