They are so perfect to get the greatest photos.

The idea? You purchase enough so that you have enough – - then when you (or whoever) is setting up the dinner tables – leave a few of these cameras on each of the tables. The idea is that your guests will take the cameras — use them to take pictures of your dinner and reception all night long.

Then, at the end of the evening – have a basket near the reception area exit door that says “Please leave cameras here”.

What a great way to get some really fantastic pictures of your wedding dinner and reception! Your photographer can’t be everywhere at once – - and you get to see your wedding celebrations through the eyes of your guests!

They are not too expensive to develop – and you can have them developed onto CD’s so you have digital pictures you can email to friends or post on your website.

These photographs will last you a lifetime – you need to make sure that in 50 years when you’re sharing them with your grandchildren – that they are still photographs you can, and will be proud of!

We had a face to face appointment with our photographer this weekend. He went through his process with us from step one and wanted to make sure that we knew exactly what we were getting.. and to be up front with us on the whole deal before we made a decision on using him.

He uses himself and a partner. He takes the main.. ‘important up front’ photographs and his partner is what he called his ’shadow’ – - this guy stays in the background, for the most part – taking pictures of things that we won’t necessarily be seeing, or paying attention to on our big day. Our wedding is at 3:30pm – but he is arriving at 10am so they can set up and start taking pictures of the preparations. Then, they are staying until 1am to get pictures of the entire day – all the way through to the end of the reception.

I’m very excited and can’t wait to see the results. His name is Randy Tay and he owns Khayman Photography and comes highly recommended!
