An unplugged wedding is simply where the couple request that phones, iPads, cameras and other recording devices aren’t used during the ceremony. This can be just for the service itself or even for the whole day if it's something the couple feel strongly about (although much harder to enforce!)

We chose to have an unplugged ceremony ourselves and made signs to let our guests know it was a phone and camera free zone while we were doing the actual marriage part - I’ve been at too many weddings where people’s faces are hidden behind screens. Technology is part of our every day life, we can’t ignore that and it’s very hard to make a wedding an exception, however I do feel with that the wedding day can become so saturated with cameras and it's nice to take a step back from that at the ceremony.
