Every couple has their own preferences on how to navigate their wedding day. For Stacey and Joe, this meant putting a strict ‘no phone’ rule in place for all their guests.

Taking to Instagram to explain her reasoning behind the surprising decision, Stacey revealed the couple chose to ban phones at their nuptials "mostly for home privacy," but also so that "everyone could enjoy the day without worrying about filming and getting pics."

"One of the best things we got for the day was special photo booths so everyone could have as many pics in them as they like and we got a lovely album of them all," explained Stacey.

"Honestly it was one of my favourite wedding purchases. Going through them all was just the best! I’d highly recommend [them] a million times over."
