Aside from formalities, which the emcee or band leader will typically stage for guests, reception photos will be captured candidly or upon request.
If you would like table photos of all of the tables, please let us know in advance so that we can let the band/DJ/Maitre’d know so that we can allocate time for it without taking away from you having fun at your party.
