Positioning of your celebrant throughout the wedding ceremony

On my journey as a celebrant, I've been mindful of the fact that photographers will be capturing moments during the ceremony. Understanding that the couple doesn't necessarily want me in every single photo, I initially tried standing off to the side in the earlier days. However, this posed a challenge as the couple found it difficult to hear me.


After considering the dilemma, I made the decision to position myself in between the couple for a significant portion of the ceremony. I ensure to step aside during pivotal moments such as when they exchange vows, place rings on each other's fingers, and share the all-important kiss.


While it is very true that the celebrant plays a significant role in a wedding ceremony, it's not essential to be featured in every photograph. I specifically request the photographer to capture a shot at the signing table with the couple, and that's the only inclusion I seek.
