In the past few years, everyone has become a photographer and wants to share every special moment in their lives with the world. Guests take photos at weddings, not trying to be rude, but because they want to remember the special day. There is absolutely no concern with this in everyday situations, however, when it comes to once-in-a-lifetime moments such as a wedding, seeing life behind a camera or iPhone may cause a problem, especially if the special couple hired a professional wedding photographer. Couples are now looking to plan an “unplugged” wedding, or at least, an “unplugged” ceremony. This article shares Grand Lens Photography’s five reasons why couples should consider having an “unplugged” wedding.
1) Interrupting Camera Flashes

Although the excitement of the guest is understandable, it can ruin professional images. Photographers know where to stand and what angles to use for different moments. Also, they only have one second to capture those significant moments (e.g., the first kiss). A guest hopping into the aisle at the last minute or holding up a large iPad can block the view of the photographer. The end result could be Aunt May standing in the aisle with her camera or the bride’s head is being blocked by the head of another guest.
3) Bad Portraits
All guests want pictures of the family together or maybe one of the bride and bridesmaids. Doing so may agitate the professional photographer’s photo. The photographer may be preparing them self for a photo of the bride and maid of honor when a few guests stand behind or next to the photographer and start snapping pictures. Naturally, the focus of the bride and maid of honor is thrown, therefore, the photographer might get pictures of the bride looking in one direction and the maid of honor looking in another direction. For quality portraits, keep the focus on the professional photographer.
