Comment on Sound of silence

Fireworks display - everyone recording with their phone out.
Bride comes down the aisle - everyone recording with their phone out.
It’s just pointless. You ruin your own experience of the event because you’re watching it on a screen instead of experiencing it directly, and you ruin other people’s experience too.
And the wedding one I’ve seen far too many times.
What do you think the official wedding photographer is there for? When the bride and groom watch their wedding video back they want to see a room of their happy family and friends, but instead they’ll get a video with aisles of people staring at their own little rectangles and pointing them at her as she comes down the aisle.
So yourself a favour and live in the moment sometimes, please.

Phone cameras are a godsend when I need to remember.
They are a curse when I want to remember.

I try to always make a point when recording to have the phone down as much as I can manage, so I can actually watch the event with my special eyes.
