Please please please ask your guests to turn off their phones during your wedding day. You want to see their faces, not their iPhones.
1. Your guests will be more present in the moments
While guests may first be taken aback that they can't use their phones, they're going to end up loving it. If they're not glued to their phones all night, they'll be able to really enjoy the moment, and maybe make a few new friends.
2. You don't want spend most of your reception posing for iPhone pictures
Carve out time for (professional) friend photos instead so you aren't repeatedly interrupted to smile for a selfie. Take care of all the images you want at one time! A great way to do this is to go around to all the tables during dinner. Or to have all the tables come up to the bride and groom's table before grabbing their food.
3. You'll still have gorgeous photos
You're paying thousands of dollars for a wedding photographer (and a second shooter) for a reason.
