What if I'm unable to make it last minute?

We completely understand that unexpected emergencies can happen, and if you’re unable to attend due to an emergency, please let us know as soon as possible. We kindly ask that guests avoid cancelling last minute or not showing up without notice for non-emergency reasons, as our wedding day means so much to us and each guest’s seat, meal, and experience have been thoughtfully planned and paid for in advance. We truly appreciate your understanding and respect for this.

Can I take photos/videos during the ceremony?

Our ceremony will be an unplugged ceremony. We request all phones be silenced and put away to avoid any interruptions. We have an amazing photographer and videographer, please let them do their jobs!
