Save on Your Photography Costs by Using Disposable Wedding Cameras

With all that you have spent on a wedding dress, the ceremony, reception, and the honeymoon, you may not have enough money to hire a wedding photographer. Or maybe you are just looking for a way to cut costs and stay within your wedding budget.

While hiring a wedding photographer is an option, it is not an absolute must. Disposable cameras are not only affordable, but are also a cinch to use. Buy disposable cameras in bulk and read on to save on your photography costs by using disposable wedding cameras.

1.  Make a shot list. List down the shots you would like to have at the ceremony and wedding reception so that you can guide you guests on what to shoot. Some examples are:

Ceremony

• Bride walking down the aisle – front and side shots
• Father giving away the bride
• Close-ups of the bride and groom exchanging vows
• Wide-shots of the bride and groom exchanging vows
• Bride and groom kiss

Reception

• First dance
• Bride and father dance
• Best man toast/blessing
• Bouquet toss
• Cake cutting

Posed Portraits

• Bride and groom with entire wedding party
• Bride and groom with best man and maid of honor
• Bride with parents and grandparents
• Groom with parents and grandparents

2.  Get someone to take a picture of each guest as he/she enters the reception area. After the wedding, you and your husband can sign each photograph and include it with the thank-you note for a creative touch.

3.  Set up a photo booth. Ask for wedding pictures from your relatives and place them on decorated heavy cardboard or other sturdy materials. Cut holes in the cardboard. Provide disposable cameras for guests to take pictures of each other.

4.  Put disposable cameras on each table and ask guests to take as many pictures as possible. Compile the best ones in a scrapbook. Upload all the photographs to an online album for everyone‘s viewing pleasure. Gather the photographs in a compact disc and distribute these to your guests. You can also make a photo collage out of the best shots.

5.  If the reception is indoors, ensure that the disposable cameras have a flash.

6.  Number the cameras according to the tables to makes it easier to identify who took the picture. It will also help in finding a missing camera.

7.  During the reception, ask the DJ or bandleader to remind your guests to take pictures. You should also request the DJ to announce that the newlyweds will take care of developing costs.

8.  Keep an open mind. Your guests may shoot some great photographs that you would not have thought of.

9.  Ask your guests to leave the cameras at their tables or deposit them in a basket allotted for this purpose.

Not everyone may be a photographer, but you’ll be sure to get good photographs of your wedding ceremony and reception if you follow these tips. You’ll not only save money, you’ll have a treasure trove of photographs to keep.
