You've paid a lot of money for a professional photographer, so how do you feel about guests taking photos at your wedding and then uploading them to social media before you've said "I do"? This article ("4 types of wedding photobombers and how to deal with them") at offbeatbride.com raises a problem some brides-and-grooms-to-be often don't think of beforehand, but as a celebrant I often raise with them when we're planning the ceremony.
Here are some solutions some couples I've married have come up with:
1. Before the bride arrives I announce that the bride and groom are happy for people to take photos, but to avoid any disruption to the ceremony I willI let everyone know when will be a good photo opportunity, such as signing the register
2. Feel free to take photos, but please don't post any of them to social media (such as Facebook) until well after the wedding when the bride and groom have had an opportunity to enjoy the photos before the rest of the world
3. Please don't take photos. Professional photos will be available for sharing after the couple have chosen which ones the ones they love the most.
Any other suggestions?
