Guests posting wedding pics on facebook

We actually only had problems with one woman. We asked her not to post she did anyway

As a couple of others have suggested, think about opting for an unplugged wedding ceremony. I totally get what you're saying. I'm a very private person and the idea of having others post pics of such a personal thing as the ceremony would make me antsy too!

I agree wholeheartedly! I was going to tastefully make a comment about it requesting my guests let me post them...

I want to see pictures on my honeymoon! I don't want to wait a month for the photographer to get them back to see anything.

I think a lot of people love them, the only request is to please wait until the bride changes her facebook status first. Lol.

I'm with Amy, Jaime, and Julie. After our wedding I was like "yay pictures!" when my friend posted some to facebook. The only thing I wish though is that we would have had less photobombing from her and my SIL. They decided to play photographers, and kinda got in the way of our actual photographer.

I personally don't care - I'm still going to post my good ones and people will still like them. Plus the world we know is evolving - and camera phones are everywhere, as is facebook. I don't want to stress over people posting about having a good time at an event I hosted. I'll probably be posting candid shots also! :-)

My FB page is set up so I have to approve all tagged pictures of me before they are posted to my timeline. It doesn't stop pictures from showing up in the newsfeed though. Honestly, no one posted pics until the day after. I untagged the ones I didn't like and never thought about it again. We ended up getting some great guest pictures.

I like the idea of an unplugged ceremony. I dont want the flash and noise of all these cameras going off and people fiddling with their devices while im walking down a short aisle. After they take pics they area always looking at them, showing them around, etc. I'm fine with pics during the reception, but i'm going to have our officiant ask everyone to not take any pics during the ceremony and leave it up to the pro.

I just attended a cousin's wedding this past weekend (absolutely beautiful), they had a sign at the church saying "no photos" (except for the Pros.) but that was a rule of the church itself -- people didn't care and snapped photos anyway, which I found rude.

But once we got to the reception, they had a sign that said to tag them on Instagram! And on Facebook, I've seen about 100 photos from various family members already.

FH and I are going to ask our guests not to take pictures during the ceremony. However, we are going to start an account on Instagram and ask our guests to post pictures from the reception there.

We made a wedpics album with a custom wedding email so people could post on there instead of on facebook. then we don't have to hunt for photos.

I made an insert that I included with my invitations for pics not to be posted on fb until hubby and I had a chance to see them first and I included our info for wedpics and instead they sent them all to my phone. I was so happy that everyone respected our wishes. Our wedding was Saturday 7-27-13 and it was awesome.

I don't care if others will post them. I actually will kind of encourage it.

I don't mind people posting pictures. I would actually love to see them since we aren't doing disposables. I will get a little pissy if I see pictures from the ceremony though, seeing as how we are having an unplugged wedding. I told FH if any of the professional pictures are ruined because of someones flash (sometimes professionals can work with the picture but a lot of times its just completely ruined) I will hunt that person down and personally break their camera. Lol Bridezilla kicks in when people are inconsiderate of my wishes.

For me personally I'd rather the professional ones be the first to appear on fb or at least ones taken by someone from the bridal party so I can see them before they are posted as I dont want the first seen "low quality" but that being said after the first lot I don't care who posts what as it would be good to see all the photos

Like Rev. Ann said, I'm having my officiant request, prior to my walking down the aisle that people please refrain from taking pictures as we have a professional photographer and videographer who know what they are doing! Plus, I'm sorry but I look horrible from some angles, I want to be able to keep those from popping up on facebook, lol.

I never thought of an unplugged wedding until FH aunt read an article on Facebook about an unplugged wedding! I rather our guest not use their cameras during the ceremony due to ruining the photographers shot because on the article it had showed a photographer taking pictures and a camera phone ruining it by having the flash in the way! Kinda irritating if you ask me! I think I will make a instagram page for just wedding pics that way our guest can put them on there for us! I don't want guest or our wedding party to put it on Facebook! I don't want everyone else seeing our wedding pictures before FH and I! Saying all this, FH aunt is our photographer and FH aunt's sister-in-law is helping as well! I may make a lil card that says, "For the sake of us, please refrain from using your cameras during the ceremony, but you may take all the snaps you want during the reception posting via our instagram name"...something like that! I guess I am more strict on that then FH is!

I might have our officiant do the same thing!

It didn't really matter to me, however only two people posted pics totaling 3 pics.
