Not-So Disposable Pictures

July 13th, 2006 @ 12:25 pm by Mrs. Firefly

These days most wedding guests bring digital cameras and are kind enough to email you their pictures (some require more nudging than others). I didn’t think that disposable table cameras were necessary. From my experience, you usually wind up with half finished cameras with tons of poorly lit, non-zoomed photos of the bride and groom cutting the cake and some random pictures of guests with their eyes closed from across the table.

My mother, who isn’t very tech savvy and didn’t think she’d get to see any of the digital pictures, insisted on table cameras. Well…. I was right, mostly. We’ve developed 10 out of 12 cameras so far and 8 or 9 of them are full of junk. It didn’t help that Michael’s 5 year-old nephew decided to finish 2 of the rolls on his own (lots of waist high pictures).

One of the rolls, however, is a true gem. We put black and white cameras on two of the “young people” tables. These are some pictures from one of the them. I’m not sure who the photographer is, but when I find out, I’ll owe him or her a huge thanks! Best of all, I danced with my uncle after the photographer left (she left at 11:30; the wedding ended at midnight), so these are probably the best pictures of us from the whole night!

The pictures are a bit dark in real life, but not quite as dark as they appear here.

All-in-all, I think the approx $200 we spent on the cameras and developing is probably worth it just for these pictures!

We had the same problem with Mr. Bee’s nephew… he took tons of waist shots! But our problem was actually the vendor we purchased the cameras from - they used recycled film cartridges and most of our pictures didn’t even come out at all. =(

if you plan on doing disposable cameras, i’d test one out before the wedding day. or go with the kodak ones - they usually produce nice quality images.

the vast majority of the pictures will be horrible, but when you get gems like the ones you did, it still makes them worth it. =)

I had been wondering if the disposable camera thing was really worth it. My dad really wants it though so we’ll probably do it. 79 days and counting!
