Wedding Photographer: Why I am not against smartphones on D-Day

The myth of the totally unplugged wedding

Today, the big trend is to encourage the "unplugged wedding". Many colleagues demand that the bride and groom ban mobile phones during the ceremony. As a professional wedding photographer, I have a much more nuanced opinion on the matter. Let's be clear: if you desire a screen-free wedding so that your loved ones enjoy the present moment, I will support you 100%. But if you choose to let it be, know that for me, it is absolutely not a problem. If your loved ones wish to capture a few memories, it is their right.

The only real rule for your guests

My approach to your wedding reportage is simple: I adapt to life. Your guests are happy to be there, they want to film your happiness. In reality, I have only one common-sense rule. I simply ask that the uncle or aunt does not throw themselves into the middle of the center aisle during crucial moments, such as your church exit, the exchange of vows or a kiss. As long as your loved ones stay in their seats, smartphones pose no issue for me.

The expertise of a professional facing the unexpected

In the end, the presence of a few mobile phones in the background is part of today's weddings. It is not up to me to play the police, nor to run away from screens. It is up to me, as a professional photographer, to adapt to the situation and find the best angle no matter what. A smartphone will never replace the quality of a high-end lens or the mastery of beautiful light. You will have the stolen images from your friends, and you will have my elegant photographs for your family album..

Looking for a serene and experienced photographer? If you want a high-end and stress-free accompaniment for your wedding in Savoie, in Provence or elsewhere, contact me. I take care of the beautiful images, you take care of enjoying.
