A wedding is reason for celebration. It’s a time where family and friends get together which isn’t always possible. That means that photo opportunities will present themselves. You can encourage your wedding party guests to take pictures and enjoy the occasion by preparing for snapshots in advance.

Creating Memorable Photo Opportunities for Your Wedding Party Guests

Set the Stage for Photos

There are a number of ways to do this. It’s easy to take photos when everyone has a camera phone. All you have to do is provide the right setting, and voila, your wedding album increases twenty-fold.

Here are some ways to offer memorable photo opportunities for your wedding party guests:

  • Set the stage. Photos don’t have to be awkward. If you mindfully set the stage for photo opportunities, they’ll occur regularly. People will want to capture the moment with themselves in it. They’ll want to share the photos online and with you so you can add them to your collection. Set up specific areas for photos. Or, have the photographer greet each guest as they arrive and snap a picture of them. If you allow extra time for these photos to take place, they will.

  • Provide props. You know how popular photo booths have been over the years at weddings. Part of the fun is the props that are provided for guests to use. Even if you don’t have the budget for a photo booth, you can create your own photo opportunities by providing themed props for your guests to take photos with. This can be cardboard cutouts of the happy couple or vintage cameras. The options are endless. You can get great ideas from our website where you’ll find all sorts of decorations and party favors to choose from.

  • Give them cameras. Disposable cameras are perfect for even the kids to use. Place one at each table and ask that your guests be wedding photographers. See what kind of great shots are taking place while you’re busy getting married. You often don’t have the time to check in with everyone because you have a lot to do during the ceremony and reception. You won’t miss out on the best moments of the event because you’ll have photos to remind you of the occasion, and lots of them.

As you can see, there are a number of ways to invite photo opportunities. You don’t need a professional photographer directing your guests at all times. If you set the stage and provide the props, people will naturally be inclined to take photos. You can even set up a hashtag for Instagram that lets others tag you in the photos so that you’ll see everything everyone took at your reception in one convenient place.
