GUESTS, you’re ruining the wedding day. That’s the message from a New South Wales photographer who posted a lengthy rant online about the obsession with documenting every moment of a ceremony that means the bride and groom can’t enjoy it.“I want to plead with you, and I’m going to make this very simple: brides and grooms, please have a completely unplugged wedding ceremony,” Thomas Stewart wrote on his Facebook page.“Look at this photo. This groom had to lean out past the aisle just to see his bride approaching. Why? Because guests with their phones were in the aisle and in his way.”“Imagine you’re in the middle of your wedding ceremony. You’re elated. You decide to take a quick glance towards your guests as you’re sure they’re sharing these happy moments with you, possibly even shedding a tear of their own. What do you see? NO FACES AT ALL AS THEY ARE ALL HIDDEN BEHIND PHONES AND CAMERAS! I highly doubt this is the way you want to remember your wedding ceremony.”
