I have a fantastic photographer, and in fact, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have TWO fantastic photographers on the day of the wedding (clarification... I will have 2 photographers, and I'm pretty sure they are both fantastic). I also have a huge family full of people that love to take pictures, and want to see theirs as well as our photographers'.
I know that I'm going to have a million great pictures of us getting ready, our first look, the ceremony, and all of the traditions at the ceremony, but with a guest list as crazy big as ours, I don't expect that our photographers are going to be able to find time to get pictures of all our guests. I am confident that our families will feel comfortable bringing their cameras and taking their own shots of the fun that they have that night, and I'm actually considering adding a note to our invitations requesting that they do!
We also want everyone to have the chance to enjoy all the pictures, so we have set up a group on Snap Fish where people can share their photos. We are planning to use the insides of our folded escort cards to give them the website and information on how to add their photos. The inside looks something like this:
Hopefully it will give us the chance to enjoy the pictures that our families take along with the ones from the photographers. Plus, the thing that is better about this than the disposable cameras is that everyone can see them, you can delete the bad pictures, and we don't have to pay to get everything developed if we don't want!
That's such a good idea! Going to share the idea with my bro and sister-to be.
