My practice is to have the pastor announce a 30 second window at the beginning of the ceremony for everyone to pull out their phones and take a photo of the couple. Then, they announce no phones out for the rest of the ceremony. It has worked well.
Yes! Exactly love doing this - sometimes I don't get the chance to which AI has helped out for that; but every time - i have the time - I make sure to take the person doing the ceremony aside and ask them. I did however have one couple that wanted people to take as much photos and videos as they wanted (odd ball) but I always ask the couple now too just to make sure.
Don't overlook the side effect of people looking at the wrong camera. I frequently take Award photos at work and sometimes family is there and they want to take their own photo. I end up with a shot where the person is not looking at my camera. I had to fix this by prefacing the entire ceremony to tell everyone. I will give them time after I get my shot to take their own. It's not a bad compromise but it can't work in every situation. You Don't often have the ability to interrupt what's going on.
The worse is group photos when you get random people taking phone pictures - you literally have to tell them to stop because it's impossible to get everyone to look at your camera when there are multiple cameras
@JosephValenti Yes that's some of the situations I'm talking about sometimes with a group photo If too many people are trying to take a photo I just stop and say OK Everyone take their photo. now walk away and then I take my photo obviously. This could only work when there's time to control the situation. I never get over the pressure i feel when everybody's waiting on me for the proceedings to continue. It's so much easier when you have essentially all the time in the world.
For the first image, you used two different images. First one kid has the vail over him and the in "AI" one hes in a different position. Ive used generative AI and a lot of the time it is very inaccurate or easily spotable when trying to remove a big object such as a person. Your second image is a lot easier for the AI to replace, but im curious to see how the first image turned out with AI
Ah the mom was in both of the first images I didn’t realize they were two different oops! I can send you both of the ai fix from the first image if you’d like :)

I am not professional but used it often for those kind of situations.
Did it help save some photos ?
