One alternative approach (prob too late for you) would be to put a "Wedding Photographer Wanted" in your local Craigslist with the stipulation that you must be able to buy the digital negatives. Let photographers know that current practice is unsatisfying and there is an opportunity they're missing.
Unfortunately, people easily buy into the FUD about not "capturing the magic moment" and will pay almost any price to "ensure" perfect pictures. If these guys weren't so flush with bookings, they would have a reason to be more flexible.
- noonespecial 19y agoThis was a "pre-craigslist" affair. There were still dinosaurs roaming the earth!!! Instead we took a "the more cameras the better" tack. Not only did we have several volunteers with expensive high quality digital cameras, we also handed out bags of disposable cameras to all of the guests and encouraged them to snap away at whatever they found interesting. At the end of the night, they returned the cameras. 99% of all of the pictures were crap but among the nearly 10,000 pictures there were astonishing gems that no professional could have captured. It all came out to be less than half of the cost of the lowest price "professional" that we found. The CD was mailed to all of the guests a week later and everyone was captivated by the participatory nature of it all. Everyone has heard horror stories about the pro going out of business, or losing the pictures. When you have 300 cameras, this is not a fear that you have! There's a startup in there somewhere I feel it! Anyone game to develop it?
