Wedding Photography

There are many fun and memorable ways to document your special day which can be used in conjunction with traditional wedding photography. By using the following ideas you can save money by hiring your photographer only for your ceremony and/or candid shots.

Substitute your traditional guest book for a photobooth. Photobooths can be rented from many distributors and are delivered directly to your venue. After your guests have had a great time having their pictures taken they can sign the pictures and drop them into your guest box. They can later be assembled into the most unforgettable guest book. Most photo booths also provide a CD or website of images after the event. Some photo booths also offer the option of having the images emailed and/or picture messaged instantly to mobile devices.

Some new digital cameras have a feature which takes pictures at set time intervals (every 30 sec, 60 sec, etc). Consider setting one up pointing at something fun like your dance floor. Then you can include an image of each of your guests dancing in their thank you cards.

Disposable cameras are also a fun option to provide for your guests. You can get some fantastic pictures this way from your guests perspectives. Disposable cameras work best in the daylight. If your event will be after dusk be sure to buy cameras with flashes. Keep in mind that even with flashes the cameras will only pick up people who are up close. Disposable cameras can be customized for your wedding and start around $2.00 each.

Use social media sites to collect pictures taken by your guests on their own digital cameras. You can also set up image accounts on services such as Flicker or MyMobile where people can upload their images. You can always incentify people to upload their images by offering awards or prizes for the best dance moves, kiss, romantic picture, etc.
