Wedding cameras - Digital Vs Disposable
Posted by Neil Lakes on
If you are married you will probably know that your wedding was one of the most memorable days of your life, and if you are looking to get married remember; your wedding will be one of the most memorable days of your life.
That said, one of the must haves at any wedding is to ensure that it can be captured and you are able to look back on that special day whenever you like.
As well as your usual photographer it is a great idea to have a few cameras dotted around your tables for guests to take photos of their own, which will give you a different view of your wedding day. So which cameras should you choose?
Take a Pic explores the options:
Disposable
Disposable cameras are the traditional way to go. The cameras are easy to use, simply click to take a photo and scroll for the next one. Best package available:

Contains 10 plain disposable cameras with 18 photos per camera
The main limitation if you choose disposable cameras is the small amount of photos that can be taken and also the worry of whether they will develop ok. There is a fair cost to film development too which includes 6x4 prints with an option of digitised images on CD.
