Wedding Invitations

Assign your photographer’s assistant, or a guest whose hobby is photography (and wouldn’t mind), to take only candid pictures. That way you ensure that some of the spontaneous moments are caught on film.

Some high-tech photographers offer, for an added cost, to have their assistant take pictures with a digital camera. By doing this, they can actually produce a mini-photo album by the end of your wedding for you and your guests to see instantly.

Plus, with digital photos, the bride and groom don’t have to wait until after the honeymoon or until wedding proofs arrive to see images of the event.

As a gift to the bride and groom, one guest obtained a guest list and took a picture of everyone in attendance, using an instant camera. Some pictures were taken in groups and others alone. She inserted these into an album and had the guests job a note at the base of the photo or on the album pate as a kind of photographic sign-in book. By the end of the wedding, the book was completed and she presented it to the bride and groom. The cost of the film and album came out to about what she had planned to spend on their gift, and this was an instant souvenir that they could cherish forever.
