Fun Wedding Photo Ideas
Pictures are an integral part of any wedding. Newlyweds are normally over the moon to get their photos back from the photographer so they can relive their special day. But the’re lots of special activities you can construct into a wedding that involve taking pictures.
One fun idea that a few brids employ is to take pictures of everyone as they arrive at the wedding ceremony, almost like you do at a high school prom or company christmas party. You can give a background and husbands and wives can pose either for a paid photographer or for anyone that happens to collect the camera. These pictures can be taken with a Polaroid camera for instant fun or with a throwaway camera. If you want slightly higher quality pictures, opt for a camera.
This can be an excellent way to keep guests busy and amused until the “official” reception starts with the appearance of the bride and groom.
As an extension of that thought, you may take quick photographs and create scrapbook pages or memory book pages with the pictures. There may be supplies on hand so guests can generate pages on site, or pages can be pre-made and photos easily put into the prepared spaces. If guests don’t want to create pages on site, or the bride doesn’t want this particular activity going on, the pictures may be saved for later. As a gift for the the happy couple, someone can create memory books with these photos.
If Polaroid cameras are used, another option is to have the subjects sign the Polaroid photo and put that in a basket somewhere. The the happy couple will enjoy studying the pictures later.
While it’s not a particularly unique idea, a few brids like to give disposable cameras on all the tables at the reception dinner so guests can take candid photographs of the reception and the table guests. These pictures can be added to the newlyweds’ wedding album or they can be placed into some other album showing the wedding ceremony from the guests’ perspective.
Another fun activity sure to be entertaining is to make a “silent photo guess” area. Here’s how this works: prior to the wedding, somebody close to the bride and bridegroom collects pictures of the bride and groom at various stages in life. The pictures should portray the the happy couple doing things, not at Christmas or with their first birthday cake. This means that, the photos ought to include some action, but it should not be evident in the photo what has taken place or where the person is.
Much like a silent auction, people will come along and view the pictures, then take a silent guess as to what the photos show. They can make a note of their guess on a piece of paper and place it in a numbered basket that involves with the number on the photograph. Reading these guesses during the reception it’s fun and sure to be amusing. The bride or groom can provide the real answers. This is a particularly fun activity at a relatively small, family wedding where the participants know the the happy couple very well.
If you want to give an area for guests to have their pictures taken but aren’t excited with the “prom night” idea, what do you think to having a picture corner set up somewhere in the reception hall or facility. Here, the marriage ceremony photographer will take candid shots of wedding guests. They can be couples, but could also be entire families, friends having a good time, or the groom being taken around on the shoulders of the best man. Whatever the pictures finally end up being, they supply a fun, “let it all hang out” area for the wedding guests and a surprise for the bride and groom. Since they will be busy with all the reception points and having the time of THEIR lives, they could treasure knowing their guests had a pretty good time too, as evidenced in the pictures.
