ner, and it’s an opportunity to reflect on the day and see the whole wedding through the photographer’s lens. Lastly, guests who capture the perfect moment on their smartphones can play photographer for the day via new photo sharing apps. With MyWedding, for example, guests download the free app (instructions and details can be e-mailed in advance or displayed in a framed “how-to” sheet at the reception), take photos throughout the day, then instantly share their snapshots, creating a timeline of the day from all different angles. It’s important to remember, though, that smartphones are not a replacement for a professional photographer. An experienced, well-trained, and creative photographer is a truly worthwhile investment.
