Unplugged Weddings, Uncle Bobs and Other Things
Dear Ben,Â
What do you do with wedding guests with cameras who are constantly in the shot and/or shooting over your shoulder? Additionally, what are you thoughts on “Unplugged Weddings”?Â

Dear Exasperated in Ohio,
This is a reality that most couples will experience on their wedding day. While it can get challenging at times for the hired photographer, this is precisely why our clients hire us in the first place: to be able to take control of any situation in order to create spectacular images. Generally speaking, I specifically request 15 minutes of alone time with my couples to do their portraits. This can take place immediately after their first looks, or anytime throughout the course of the day. This mostly takes care of a scenario where the bride and groom’s attention is divided and they’re looking at 10 different cameras. For those 15 minutes of alone time, our couples can decompress a little bit while hanging out with their favorite photographer…ME! (insert evil laugh here)
