When should I not take photos at a wedding?

Avoid taking photos during the ceremony if it's an "unplugged" wedding. Don't block the aisle, stand in front of the photographer, or use flash during important moments. The reception is usually open for guest photos.

How should I share my wedding photos with the couple?

Use the couple's preferred method, often a QR code photo sharing gallery. Don't post photos on social media before the couple does. Ask before sharing photos of other guests.
