Frequently over the last many years I have attended weddings and their receptions. The use of photography in an effort to preserve this day is common to all weddings and receptions, and the obligatory photographer is always present.
Sometimes the couple will hire two photographers in an effort to get more candid shots of family and friends throughout the reception.
Sometimes they will hire or designate a family member who's a photography hobbyist to capture those numerous shots. And increasingly common is the placement of disposable cameras on each reception table to encourage family and friends to take photos throughout the event
There are numerous technical and practical problems with this approach. First off, the disposable cameras don't generally take the best photos. Second, the cost of developing these numerous cameras is a significant consideration. And, third, there's a strong possibility that the camera will prove to be a great toy for some young person
