On
your wedding day why not include disposable
cameras for your guests to use. It's
usually best to include at least one
camera per table with perhaps a few
additional cameras for those snap-happy
friends. While a professional
photographer is a must, these disposable
cameras will give your family and friends
a chance to ham it up for each other
and give you shots the professional
won't have.
Being disposable
cameras, nobody needs to worry if one
is accidentally dropped. Children can
feel free to join in the fun as well.
Extra cameras won't be wasted as the
bride and groom can take them along
on their honeymoon. To promote the use
of the cameras, include tent cards on
the tables encouraging your guests to
take part and have someone announce
the use of the cameras at the beginning
of the reception.
Make sure the cameras
you purchase come with a built-in flash
since most of these photos will be taken
indoors during the reception. Disposable
cameras offer 27 exposures per unit and
come in film speeds of 400 or 800 ISO.
The 800 ISO models are great for very
low light conditions, however, the trade-off
is photos with much larger grain. For
most conditions, 400 ISO is probably your
best choice. When shooting indoors with
flash, try to be near a wall in order
to catch some of the light which will
brighten the background of the photograph.
To collect all the
cameras, have a decorated container that
guests can place the cameras in when they're
finished and have someone be responsible
for getting them processed right away
so that the photos can be there when the
happy couple returns from their honeymoon.
