Here are some reasons to consider an unplugged ceremony and how to go about it. Rather than viewing the day through their iPhone camera, they can watch the events unfold and be truly present. – First, what is an Unplugged Ceremony? –Īn unplugged ceremony involves asking guests to stay off their phones during the wedding ceremony to fully immerse themselves in your big day. Weddings with an unplugged ceremony are the perfect way to keep guests in the moment and ensure you’re not walking down the aisle with 20 phones pointing at you. Now enjoy some photos of wedding guests taking photos.Weddings are a time for friends and family to rejoice in your life-long commitment to each other, but in an era where our phones run our lives, many are tuned into who’s posting what rather than the actual moment.
Whether your guests bring cameras or not isn’t going to impact my ability to provide you with photos you are going to love. Because for me, what the couple wants is the only thing that really matters. It makes as much difference to me as the wedding colors or the cake a couple wants. And the reason I don’t care about unplugged weddings, is because it is entirely up to the couple. The fact is that every couple knows that if they allow guests to have cameras and phone at the ceremony, that there is going to be cameras and phones in the photos from the ceremony. Just because the photographer had envisioned something different doesn’t mean it’s ruined. It is an accurate recording of what actually happened. That photo of the guest with the iPad isn’t a ruined memory. The photographer from this summer stated that a guest’s phone ruined the creation of a memory. Really, I don’t think any photographer should care about unplugged weddings. Now to get back to my thesis about why I don’t care about unplugged weddings. And lastly, if it was completely unavoidable, this is the kind of thing that could get fixed in post without the client even knowing about it. Secondly, the issue of the phone in front of the couple could be easily avoided by the photographer just moving a few inches to the left. I am sure that guest feels a little embarrassed now considering the public attention it has gotten. So here is my controversial opinion on unplugged weddings: For starters, I don’t think it is right for a photographer to publicly call out a wedding guest for something like this.
UNPLUGGED CEREMONY REASON FREE
Feel free to look at the original post on unplugged weddings to get her side of things. This summer, a photographer suggested that a guest with an iPad ruined their photo actually made national news. However, most guests don’t fall into that category and it falls into being in the moment or phone screens in photos. Preventing guests from photographing ensured exclusivity. For example, People Magazine paid Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries $1 Million for exclusive coverage of their wedding. For the celebrity weddings, it is usually to have exclusive content to sell to magazines. Sometimes it is a concern over phone screens being visible in photos. Some couples want their guests to be more “present” in the moment. There are a few reasons to have an unplugged wedding.
But it can extend to the the Hollywood ceremonies where guests must place their phones into a locker when they arrive and retrieve them when they leave. This could be limited to a ceremony where guests are not expected to used cameras and/or phones. Simply put, it is a wedding free of electronic devices. First, let me start by explaining what an unplugged wedding is. And hopefully, I can put your concerns to rest. I know, it’s an abrasive title, but trust me, I will explain it momentarily.
