Wedding Camera Tips & Tricks for Your Reception

Wedding Camera It has become popular to put a disposable camera, usually the type that includes a built-in flash unit, on each table at the reception with the idea that the guests at that table will use the 27 frames of film to take photos in and around their table, and the bride and groom will develop the film and have the photos that are created to enjoy and possibly augment their wedding album.

1. Flash & Film Speed: Make sure the cameras you purchase have at least 400 speed film and include a built in flash.

2. Casing: Although paper-casing cameras are usually cheaper, they are not waterproof.

3. Film: Black and white photos vs color. Color photos will capture all the beautiful details you worked so hard to have for your wedding (flowers, centerpieces, table linens, favors).

4. Recycled or Brand New? Recycled cameras are just that: recycled, previously used.

5. Exposures: If you're having a longer reception, splurge and purchase 27 exposure cameras, or two 15 exposure cameras. People enjoy taking pictures - and if they run out of film too soon they may be disappointed.

6. Quantity: Typically you would purchase one camera per table of guests. Some cameras come with a "Table Tent" which is a decorative card placed beside the camera on the table.

7. Expiration date: Cameras should be 1 to 2 years ahead of the current date. If you purchase them in advance make sure to store them away from heat, light and moisture.

8. Photo Taking: Have them go to each table and take a picture or two then pass it to another guest at the table.

9. Collecting: You don't want to forget the cameras before you leave! Assign this to one of the wedding attendants to collect the cameras before the night's end.
