Please feel free to reach out to Olivia or Brian via their cell phones and they'd be happy to help!
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the Ceremony?
We are having an "Unplugged" ceremony. This just means that we kindly ask that all phones and devices be put away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. Why? Well, we've hired professional photographers to capture some of the most important moments and we'd hate to have a well-meaning person's phone/device blocking that moment for them to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want!
