Our Top 3 Tips on how to Pay Less for Wedding Photography using Instant Cameras
Your wedding day is one of the most special and memorable events in your life, and capturing those memories through photography is crucial. However, wedding photography can be expensive, and it's not always feasible to splurge on a top-of-the-line photographer. Today, the average wedding today costs around $30,000. And wedding photography can set you back anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000. Fortunately, there are ways to save money on photography without sacrificing the quality of your wedding photos. Here are three ways to save on wedding photography using instant cameras.
1. Set up Selfie Stations or Polaroid Photo Booths. All through out your special day, encourage your guests to take photos of themselves having a good time. At different spots, have selfie stations or a polaroid photo booth available for guests to use throughout the day. This is a great way to get candid shots of the whole day.
Photo booths are a popular addition to many weddings, but they can be expensive to rent. Here's how to DIY it.
Set up your own photo booth using a tripod and a camera with a remote control. Most polaroid and Instax Mini cameras have a timer. The Instax Mini LiPlay allows comes with a timer and remote shooting which is perfect for a photo booth.
You can even create your own backdrop using materials like streamers or balloons.

Your guests will still have a blast taking photos, and you'll save a lot of money in the process.
2. Use our Instax Mini Storage Box as Your Wedding Reception Guest Book. Use a photographer for the wedding ceremony but leave the reception photography to the guests. Picture this....
A beautifully decorated table at your reception with an Instax or Polaroid camera, stack of film, several pens to write with and our stylish storage box.
Each guest take a selfie with an instax mini or polaroid camera.
Then, each guest will write their name and a heartfelt message to the happy couple on the white part of the photo.
Store each photo in our Instax Mini Photo Storage Box. You'll get a bunch of cool, candid photos of all your guests.
If you are having a big wedding, you might want to set up several Guest Book stations throught the reception area.
So instead of having everyone sign a guest book or registry, use this unique, non-traditional way to record each guest. It's interactive, it's fun and it's a surefire way to keep your guests entertained. Plus it gives your wedding a unique and modern twist that your guests will be talking about long after the last dance. Trust us, this will be the hit of your reception.
3. Use Polaroids as party favors. Another way to save money in your wedding using instant cameras is to use Polaroids as party favors. Here's how to do it:
Referring back to Tip #1, set up a photo booth with your Polaroid or Instax Mini camera. Let guests take photos throughout the night.
Each guest receives a small photo frame at the reception or when the wedding is over. You can then use these photos as personalized party favors by placing them in small frames. You can also attach the pictures to thank-you cards.
Guests leave the wedding with a cool souvenir and a visual of a lasting memory of your special day.
