Remember when the disposable camera craze for weddings came about? The selection for single-use cameras goes way beyond the boring old Kodak. The cameras you leave for your guests can now be obtained in colors, patterns, and even with your specific wedding personalization. The inexpensive price and ease of use of disposable cameras has made them popular for use in wedding reception celebrations. These Disposable or "Single-Use" cameras are available in both 35 mm film and more modern digital models. 

Guests Become Additional Wedding Photographers!

First, place a disposable camera or several at each wedding reception table with a tent card note for guests to take pictures throughout the reception, then leave the camera at the table to be collected later. You are going to receive some very memorable and fun candid photos that the professional photographer you hired may not get!

Be sure to number the cameras with the corresponding table numbers. This will make it easier to narrow down who took the pictures later.

Match Your Wedding Theme

Disposable cameras can be personalized with all kinds of information including  the name of the bride and groom and wedding date. The cameras may also be found in a variety of colors and patterns which match the color scheme or theme of your wedding. Some examples are: floral patterns, beach wedding designs, hearts, and white, gold or silver colors.

Types of Disposable Cameras

The major camera companies like Kodak and Fuji now sell disposable or one-time-use cameras. Typically they have a flash with a range up to about ten feet. Exposures range from fifteen (15) to twenty-seven (27) and have 35mm film speeds from 400 to 800.

Disposable Camera Tips

You will find the best pictures will develop when taken within a range of twenty (20) feet.  For flash disposables,  a ten (10) feet range indoors will return the best results.
