So, some couples on a budget may actually choose to forego a traditional wedding photographer altogether and use disposable cameras to capture their entire day.
Most often, though, these devices are used in conjunction with the photo pros for a few key reasons.
Primarily, wedding photos shot by professional photographers tend to be clean, classy, and otherwise “on point.” And don’t get me wrong: newlyweds want these kinds of shots to remember their idyllic day.
But, at the same time, many brides and grooms also want to capture the exciting, candid, and otherwise “real” parts of their big day. That’s where disposable cameras come in.
Countless couples have decided to equip their very own guests with disposable cameras. So, while guests celebrate the ceremony and reception, they can capture candid shots that would have been otherwise missed. After all, one or even two professional photographers cannot be everywhere at once.
You won’t just get a ton of spontaneous shots of behind-the-scenes moments, either. You will also receive a bunch of images that have the classic vintage aesthetic– transporting you back in time and giving your wedding some beloved nostalgia.
This experience is beloved by everyone, too. Brides and grooms get unfiltered shots of their exciting day; meanwhile, guests get to go wild and take photos they believe the newlyweds will love and cherish forever.
Disposable Camera Wedding Day Tips
Now that you’re sold on using disposable cameras at your wedding, you may be wondering how to integrate them.
One of the most popular options is to place a few disposable cameras on each dinner table at your reception.
You can include a sign detailing what they are for and encouraging guests to get creative with their shots. Plus, your DJ or band can also make an announcement about the cameras– ensuring no guests miss their opportunity to step behind the lens.
