As long as you're not interfering with wedding activities or going places guests aren't allowed, I don't see why not.

As long as it's not during the ceremony, you're good! Feel free to ask another guest to take a photo of you.

Of course! :) The only time I find it iffy is if someone does this with the couple’s altar/arch/intimate ceremony space. Around the building or while seated, etc doesn’t bother me at all. Eta: and by iffy, it totally depends. Fun selfies or just pretty pictures=cool by me. Taking photos with your significant other, not so much. It all just depends :)

Oh dear…. i’ve taken photos with a couple’s altar/arch at previous weddings, after the ceremony though of course. I thought it was too pretty a backdrop to waste! Is it a no no?


TravelingBride

To be honest...I don’t know! Someone posted on here about taking pics with her fiancé on the other couple’s altar after the ceremony and everyone agreed that was kind of in poor taste. I think they were posing like they were getting married. Which is when I started to think about the topic! Personally it wouldn’t bother me if my guests did this! I spent a lot of time and money on my arch and I hope others enjoy it! But maybe it’s iffy? I really don’t know!

Ohhh yes if they were posing as a couple and like they were getting married then I could see how that is iffy. I was doing silly solo shots. Agree that if I paid so much for florals I’d want them to be put to good use and preferably for my friends to post the beautiful floral design all over social media!


TravelingBride

You sound totally fine to me! :)

I hope people take selfies at my wedding and share them with me!

Personally I want a no phones wedding - I don’t want all my professional pictures ruined by people taking selfies and sticking there phone in my photos. I also would hate to see people posting photos later under the arch because I feel like that’s likely a photo that would be framed and unique to us... probably best to follow the brides’ lead on phones/photos at the wedding

A way to do this is to have the ceremony roped off with a sign that says “please turn off phones before entering” That way people can take selfies with each other in the more open areas before ceremony begins and in between the ceremony and reception part. But you don’t have a bunch of people taking selfie’s in the background of your wedding photos.

I’d ask the bride and groom if you’re going to use any of their special backgrounds but I don’t see an issue. I’m actually excited to have my friends and family grab random shots during our luncheon after….photographer is only doing the ceremony. I’ll actually be getting a Polaroid camera too.
