GO UNPLUGGED
GO UNPLUGGED
What is an unplugged wedding?
An unplugged wedding is where you ask all your family & friends attending the ceremony not to take photos, but to watch the ceremony with their own eyes and not through the back of a smartphone or through a camera lens. You are paying professionals to take the photos so they can enjoy the ceremony and focus on you.
Why we recommend an unplugged ceremony!
We have had so many photographs ruined by guests using their phones to video the whole ceremony or sticking their phone out into the aisle whilst the bride is walking down. You would be surprised on how many people don’t even realise that standing in the aisle is just “not cool”.
Don’t ban cameras or phones all day!
You don’t need to put a ban on cameras or phones the whole day, just on the important parts. Your friends and family should be focused on just you during the nuptials and not be looking at the whole thing through a camera, that’s our job, that’s what we are paid for.
The ban on Social Media!
This is becoming increasing more popular, guests have a habit and without realising, put your photos up on Social Media before your evening guests have had a chance to attend. As photographers, we want to capture those real moments, and there’s no better moment than watching all your friends see you for the 1st time. If bridesmaids and family upload hundreds of photos of a bride in her dress before the evening guests have had a chance to see them, it spoils the surprise.

What our clients say about us
Jo + Jon were outstanding. So cool, calm, professional, kind and helpful. They made our day so enjoyable and perfect with their style and expertise. Nothing was too much trouble, their prep work was excellent, which helped the day run smoothly. So pleased they went with the flow, didn’t rush us and allowed the day to be organic and followed the flow beautifully, capturing lovely moments with ease. Jo is excellent at multitasking, so thoughtful and it was obvious she had done it a million times before. Jon was so thorough and easy going, such a delight. They are both gorgeous people, a pleasure to have by your side on the best day of your life. We loved having you.
