This is hands down one of the best articles I have seen concerning photography and weddings. People spend thousands of dollars to have a professional capture the majestic and magical moments of their wedding, and then their ametuer friends and family mess it up with their camera phones and need to immediately post something to a social network.

Photographers are great at what they do. They understand appropriate angles, lighting, equipment, resolution, shutter speed, and hundreds of other intricacies of capturing a beautiful moment with very high end camera equipment. Let your family know that while they are off the hook for taking pictures of your big day. It will take some stress off them, and it will ultimately make your big day even more special.

The picture associated with the post shows a family member getting in the way of a great shot. At the minimum, it may be a good idea to have your friends and family keep their devices put away during the ceremony. It looks more respectable, and should make for an enjoyable day!

We had a great weekend with this beautiful new family in Salt Lake! The reception and ceremony took place in historic "This Is The Place Monument" at the Heber C. Kimball residence.

Attendees came from as far as California to join their union officiated by a commander in Sean's firefighting unit. It was the first ceremony we have been involved in that wasn't a minister or judge performing, and it was definitely a beautiful thing to witness! The firefighting traditions were strong with this family, and it showed through their reception.

We had a great evening full of emotions, pictures, dancing, and fun. The couple really loved classic hair band rock, and we had a blast playing throwbacks all night.

Thanks for a great evening!
