I think If I got married again I'd definately go the unplugged route.
All these people sitting round holding things in the air concerntrating on them and dodging one another leaves me cold. And lets face it, 99% of what they get is total crap. They will be too far away to see what's actually going on looking at the pissy little screen, bugger all people ever transfer them off their phone or print them out, which is probably a good thing in reality given how most look, and you probably won't hear whats going on if they video it either for the background noise no matter how quiet.
And aside from everything else, I'd want to look back and see the faces of the people I wanted there to share it with me not see a bunch of little ( or chunky) bits of plastic gaudy covers obscuring the people with arms held hight to get over the person in front.
Yeah, the very thought of that makes it a definate " Unplugged" deal.
I wouldn't be worried about the pro not getting their shots, I'd be ticked off about the overall stupidity of everyone sittling there like morons holding their phones in the air.
It's Dumb no matter how prevelant it is these days or the fact it's not properly labled as stupid simply because 90% of people are guilty of doing it.
Funnily enough, thinking of the last wedding I just did, I didn't see one phone being used all day. It was definately not by request, I'd say rather that the guests were more respectful and Mature. I had a lot of interaction with everyone before the ceremony and being a small group of close friends and relo's maybe they realised they would all get to see the pics and get any they wanted anyhow.
When I got married over 20 years ago I warned everyone there was a dress code and if the guys did not turn up in a suit, they wouldn't be getting into the reception. If they Couldn't pay me the respect of dressing properly, then I didn't want them there, simple as that. Everyone was happy to do that for me except one of the bridesmaids Boyfriends and when I spotted him I DID have his pot smoking hippy dreadlock torn jeans covered arse thrown out of there.
Would be the same with the phone and crap. My wedding, I'll have this simple thing how I want and if you respect me, then you will honour the reasonable request I make so I can have the day the way I want it.
Not like I'm telling them they all have to turn up in a Rolls Royce or I'm putting them to any trouble or huge expense.
Just act like mature and dignified people for 20 min.
