Pictures are one of the most powerful ways to capture the memories from your big day. There is no freakin' way WeddingStand would ever advise you to skip on the photographer for your wedding over the chance to shake it like a Polaroid picture. That being said, there are still some wonderful options for you to get the most of the amateur pictures taken at your wedding.
The Ole Disposable Camera Goes out the Window
The long time trend of putting a disposable camera in the middle of every table is a tired old dream. This practice isn't very green, and besides, almost everyone has one of them new fangled digital camera whatchamacallit.
Harness the power of those fancy cameras with the Canditto. When your guests are on the way out from your fantastic reception, all they have to do is insert their camera's memory card into the Canditto kiosk for a brief moment. One of the best features of the Canditto is that it's programmed to only copy pictures taken within the last 8 hours, which prevents any unwanted conversations about Uncle Buck and Aunt Mary's romantic trip to Florida.
Set up a Photo Booth
Photo booths are a nostalgic and entertaining throwback. You can set up themed games for best pictures, goofiest faces and most people in the booth at one time. Best of all, it works as a built in guest book and keepsake item for when your guests leave at night.
