Wedcam for your wedding

Leonard Goh | Apr 25, 2008

Question: What's better than saving money and not hiring a photographer on your big day?

Answer: Have your guests take the pictures instead.

Canadian company Wedding Favours is producing disposable film cameras with a wedding theme to them. Clad in a pristine white body with corny lines like "Our Wedding Day", this camera is bound to raise eyebrows at your wedding reception. When Uncle Fred asks where's the wedding photographer, hand him a camera and tell him everyone's a photographer today.

But let's do the math here. There are 27 exposures in a camera. Now multiply that by, let's say, 100 guests. That's a whopping 2,700 photos. Take away the pictures that your nieces and nephews took of their feet and you should still be left with 1,000-odd usable shots.

Lest others think you're are a cheapo, tell them that each set costs about US$8.80 (not including developing and printing of snaps).

costs aside, but it is a unique idea in a way providing a different perspective for a regular wedding ceremony. imagine, more than thousand shots from different people of various instances & objective taken on that wedding? well it could come out to be really exciting (may not be all the time), an option not for all people. but i hope that cheap digicams could be produced in the future though.

yeah, but you know what the problem is? most people probably won't know know to use these cameras even.. a friend of mine who had a similar concept for his wedding say the majority of the pictures turned out underexposed because the guests didn't know how to turn on the onboard flash.. i must say the money used to develop the pics were a lost cause.. fun, but just not practical at all
