Wedding photos !

Jess, 18 January, 2021 at 07:52 Posted on Planning 0 4
Help! We are having a small relaxed wedding with just closest friends and family and we don’t want people constantly taking photos or sharing anything on social media before we do but how do we nicely ask people ? My fiancé’s mum is a over sharer on Facebook and will happily share someone else’s business or save photos off their profile without asking , I wish I could say she would do it as a proud mum but sadly it’s for attention on herself ! I don’t mind people taking photos at the reception and sending them to us or asking to share them but I don’t want anyone sharing our professional photos or their own during the day .

    So we are having a sign of "disconnected wedding" at the entrance so people have to walk past it(it has a crossed out camera/phone on it.). Also we asked our celebrant to mention prior to the ceremony that we would like people just to enjoy it and not take photos as we got a photographer taking care of that( and we don't want phones/ cameras in the pictures). She will also mention that people are free to take photos after the ceremony however that we kindly ask everyone to refrain from posting any pictures until we have posted( so likely within a week). She said she has done that on multiple weddings and it was received well. My mum is the same though so I shall hide her phone till after the ceremony and also disable her Internet by accident ? ( no way she can get it going by herself and my brother is briefed to not fix it within the first 3 days haha). I love her but yeah she is that kind of mother too ???

    Oh that’s a great idea! I was thinking of maybe putting something in the invites but don’t want to sound snotty ! Haha that’s genius , sadly his mums knows how to use hers too well! We aren’t having a photographer in the evening so I don’t mind photos then but just not all over social media .

    I am pretty sure that most guests would of come across the idea if they have been to a wedding in the last 2 or 3 years so I am sue it wont sound snotty. As RomanticBrownStationery29719 says a chalkboard at the entrance and from what I have seen the registrar's are always happy to make an announcement for you.

    Worst of all at a ceremony are I Pads in the ceremony, from the front they totally obscure the users face and if they lean across the isle when you are walking down, its like someone holding up a box of cornflakes in front of your face totally ruining my shot as you walk in or walk out. Yes I take more shots once you have walked past them but that may not be the optimum distance for a perfect shot.
