Pick of the Week - May 9th, 2011

Depending on where you're at in your wedding planning, things may be starting to pile up quickly.  Sometimes it's really easy to overlook items that you would've never thought about -like what photos you'd really like to have in your wedding collection.  I caught a glimpse of this great photo hunt idea that will help to capture some of the most precious moments at your special event.  

Creating a photo hunt is a great, easy to do,  DIY project.  Start by creating a list of fun shots you really want such as "cutest older couple", "something sparkly", "an artistic picture of your meal", or "holding hands".  Add them to an I Spy photo list for your guests.  You could even add the list to the back of your table numbers to keep the table decor and cost contained.  Then ask your guests to use their cameras or supply each dinner table with a disposable camera to capture each of these moments.  It's a great way to let your guests young and old have some fun while making sure you get some great shots you really want!
