Is it reasonable to ask that guests refrain from taking personal pictures during formals?
Yes. If the photographer is trying to work quickly through a series of formal pictures, individual snap-shooters slow the process. Other problems can arise when there are several cameras aimed at the subject group. The subjects’ attention will be diverted away from the professional’s lens. Multiple flashes can interfere, ruining the pictures that you are paying for! Instead, we offer your own personal web gallery where guests can select and order professional-quality prints. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
