No photos at the wedding?

View quoted message Im also doing unplugged ceremony, as i do not want photos/guests on their phones during.

Your FH wants ti have the privacy and less people taking pictures which i can understand. The officiant or church priest can request to have the phones off to be respectful and no pictures taken. Reception time everyone can still take it without him knowing. If y you wish, the sign as suggessted from the ceremony gets tranferred to the reception area.

I’ve heard of it before for the ceremony but not for the entire reception. It’s a good idea tho to get people to be more present during the celebrations.

This is not as unusual as you think. My friend had an unplugged ceremony - no phones or cameras. I think Holly's saying about leaving the bride and groom alone is great!

You can have an unplugged ceremony. Check Facebook buy and sell sites and you can probably find a used sign as they are really common right now!

It's harder to prevent people from taking pictures during the reception, but you can probably have a similar sign for that: an unplugged reception.

I would also have the MC announce it as people don't always read signs unfortunately.

Have an unplugged ceremony! Those are a really sweet and acceptable way to keep cameras away and the wedding personal, just specify to turn off ALL electronics, not just phones, that way it'll prevent cameras from being around.

It’s definitely a thing during the ceremony. Holly has a great little saying. You can find lots of sayings if you look up “unplugged ceremony”. I agree though, that you can’t stop guests from taking pictures during the reception. Chances are your fiancé will be focused on other things such as yourself and eating dinner to not worry about photos during that time

View quoted message You're welcome! Goodluck 😊

View quoted message Love that statement! Thanks so much

View quoted message It definitely is! You can also put a sign at your venue that says the same request. Also put a notice saying "during reception we encourage to see photos of you enjoying your night, however leave the bride and groom photos to the professional"

View quoted message Oh perfect. So maybe it's more of a common request than I thought! Thanks!

We are having an unplugged ceremony. We will just say that in the invitation. "We are having an u plugged ceremony and ask you to turn all phone, cameras and other electronic devices off". Chances are guest will take pictures during the reception even if you ask them not to. I don't think you can stop that unfortunately.
