Every couple wants a picture-perfect moment of their wedding. They want something to look back on and re-experience one of the greatest days of their lives. This is the photographer's main job and can be made difficult if the wedding guests are wiping out their phones trying to catch some candid moments. This is one reason why a lot of couples are going tech-free at their weddings.

An unplugged wedding is where guests are asked to switch off their phones, Ipads, camera's and other devices during the ceremony and even through to the reception. This allows the photographer to do their job properly and also allows the guests to be fully present in an intimate moment. But is an unplugged wedding right for you?

Here are a few benefits of having an unplugged wedding;

• Picture Perfect Moments

As mentioned above, a photographer is there to take the best possible photos. They know the right angles, the right lighting, and what makes the best shot. Leave it up to them, that is why you are paying them. The photos will look more eloquent without all the devices cluttering them.

• Respecting Privacy

After all, this is your special day and you deserve to share it how and when you want. There may be guests you weren't able to invite. Sharing photos with those who weren't invited may cause some unnecessary awkward tension. Some of your guests may also not want their picture shown online and you need to be mindful of that.

• More Focus & Interaction

You invited guests to be witnesses at a momentous occasion in your life. Without the distractions, they will be submerged in the occasion. They will be more likely and interact in the ceremony, making it more memorable. Allow them this opportunity by making it interactive. Let them sing, dance, or share a story they have about the couple.

We live in a day and age where we feel we need to document every second of our lives but it is important to step away from that and relish at the moment. Especially one as special as two people professing their love for each other.
