17 Classic Cameras at a Wedding

[rajmohan.]

<p>Great idea, and lovely images, <strong>Brad</strong>.</p>

<p>Congratulations, <strong>Brad;</strong> great lady, great idea, great occasion and great results!</p>

[Argenticien]

<p>That is a fantastic idea! At least I think so ... You know your own family & friends of course, and vaguely knew in advance how this was going to be received. I know some families where there would be too much carping along the lines of "Like, WHATEVER, this is LAME! Give me back my iPhone camera!" Anyway I think you were brave even handing out the F3, the MX, and other somewhat valuable machines, let alone the M3 of course, as alluded to above.</p>

<p>And congratulations. </p>

<p>Aw heck. We need more camera porn. :-)</p>

<p>Now THAT's totally out of control. :-)</p>

<p>See the kids enjoy the cameras!?</p>

[glen_h]

<p>Did they get to keep the cameras at the end?</p>

<p>It is usual to have some give-away at the end of a wedding, but not usually metal cameras.</p>

<p>I have been to weddings that had disposable cameras out for guests to use. I made sure that all got used up. It would be more fun with these, though. I might have suggested a practice session at the beginning.</p>

<p>Great idea!</p>

[Brad Cloven]

<p>This is a very responsible group of youngsters. They had fun, but were respectful of the gear. Indeed, they re-matched every camera to a lens cap before returning them to our house while we were on our honeymoon. </p>

<p>Giveaways were my smoked steelhead and the lady's wild huckleberry jam. The kids got their pictures back over Facebook. No cameras were injured or given away in the making of this documentary. ;-)</p>

[marc_bergman1]

<p>What a wonderful idea. It looks like everyone had fun. Thanks for sharing.</p>

<p> </p>

[tony_lockerbie]

<p>Congrats to you both, and what a wonderful idea! So many young people have never even seen a film camera, hard to believe, but times move on.<br>

Your idea is certainly an improvement on the handing out of disposable cameras :)</p>

[bruce_z._li2]

Beautiful idea for a beautiful occasion. Congratulations Brad! I

wish I had so many classic cameras when I got married.�

[Rick_van_Nooij]

<p>Fantastic, the idea as well as those photos.</p>

[richard_]

<p>excellent Brad. I especially like the ones that are out-of-focus!</p>

[James G. Dainis]

I like the first picture of the boxes of cameras. Did you use a shovel? "Okay this one is full, hand me another box." It looks like everyone had a lot of fun and did get some good shots.

[Brad Cloven]

<p>Post Script:</p>

<p>The Daughter In Law who took the most pictures is having her sister pick up the Pentax K1000 that I previously gave to her.</p>

<p>Ha ha! I've infected one of the younger ones with film ....</p>

[kirk_strauchler]

<p>Nothing to say that hasn't already been said, but this such an awesome idea!</p>

<p>Congratulations and best of luck to you and the new bride!</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing with us!</p>
