Going Unplugged for your Ceremony

What is an unplugged wedding ceremony

 

Your wedding day is special so it's understandable why everyone wants to capture it with their phones. Unfortunately, phones can really ruin your ceremony photos. Phones are distracting and can cause disruptions during the ceremony and in your wedding photos.

 

We recommend that all our couples request a phone free wedding ceremony. Don't worry, we will be there to capture every moment perfectly so no one will miss out on that great photo.

 

Every wedding package includes a photo release form so you will be able to download and save your wedding images.

If you want to have a phone-free ceremony here are a few tips on how to implement that rule for your guests.

  • Add a note on the invitations about your no-phone "unplugged" ceremony
  • Add a note and explanation on your wedding website
  • Create a cute wedding ceremony sign for a reminder on the day of
  • Communicate this plan with your wedding planner so they can help implement and kindly remind guests during the ceremony

Wedding Day Weather Conditions

" Our wedding day was rainy - not just a bit but torrential all day, did this stop Latzo ? Not at all he was drenched to skin but always ensured we were happy and we got the best photos of our special day. Can’t recommend him enough"

 

Tony & Sandra | Barton Hall - March wedding

Wedding Day Weather Conditions

You don't have to be stressed about bad weather on your wedding day. I am fully prepared and experienced to handle any weather conditions.

 

I have shot in rain, snow, and even a during a storm; so don't stress. Regardless of the weather I know how to capture the day perfectly.

 

In rare instances, a venue may call for a cancelation in extreme weather conditions. If your venue issues a cancelation we will do our best to work with you to reschedule your wedding day. Please review our wedding photography agreement for a detailed description of our cancellation policies.

There's no point to keep checking the weather forecast days before the big day. Our unpredictable english weather is changing all the time, however If your wedding day is looking to be rainy or temperamental, I will be fully prepared and make sure we have plan A, B and C. Most of the wedding venues in Northamptonshire and Midlands I work at have plenty of indoor alternatives for your drink reception and and also beautiful indoor spaces for your formal family photographs.
