In addition to a modern, fun celebrant who really gets your vibe, a good photographer and/or videographer are, personally, top priorities on a wedding day. They capture hundreds - if not thousands - of special moments shared between a couple and their loved ones, and yet, even with a second shooter, can sometimes miss some of the special candid moments in a wedding day.
Many photographers and videographers clock off after the formalities are finished, but what about grandma tearing up the dance floor? What about the photo booth, the dessert bar and the friendships made over a guest book? What about the 10pm sliders or eskies of seltzers?
Here’s where you can enlist your friends as your candid photographers. None of us are ever without our phones these days, and as a digital generation, we love taking photos and videos as much as we love taking bathroom selfies with our new best friends.
Anyone who knows Christianna knows that she loves to document everything in photos, so it was no surprise that Christianna and Jon asked their guests to take as many photos and videos as possible, so they could relive their day through the many different angles of their guests.
In addition to their gorgeous professional photos by Gavin Cato, Christianna and Jon also had a QR code at every table setting for guests to upload their happy snaps.
I mentioned Christianna and Jon’s QR code and hashtag in the housekeeping for their ceremony, and guests were reminded by the emcee throughout the night.
Did I forget to upload my photos? Yes.
Did I do it eventually? Also yes.
Would I recommend it to other couples? Absolutely.
Christianna and Jon used guestpix, but there are other (paid and unpaid) websites and apps such as Wedibox, Weduploader or Never Miss Moments or you can make your own Google Drive or OneDrive link.
