Being a wedding photographer is such a fun job. I get to meet all kinds of people, witness so much love and happiness and even uplift them when they’re feeling nervous or scared. But it doesn’t all have to be serious, once the formals are out of the way, it’s party time! And I have the perfect game to get everyone out of their seats and involved on the dancefloor!
How do we play the game?
I usually pinch the microphone from the DJ to introduce the game, and it goes a little something like this!
“Hi, I’m Aimee, your photographer this evening, and I have a treat for you at the expense of our very brave newlyweds. I want anyone who is willing and able to form a long queue down one side of the room, and what we’re going to do, is run in a few people at a time, and strike the funniest pose you can think of!
The aim of the game is to get as many hilarious photos as we can before the song ends, this is your chance to give them a really fun and unforgettable start to their marriage, so get ready to run in, strike your pose, and as soon as you see the flash go off, run out again as quickly as you can so the next people can go in!”
It is so much fun to do and I always get so many comments from couples and their guests saying how brilliant it was! The photos are always highly anticipated, for me too, and it’s so hard not to smile and laugh while I’m editing them!
I usually ask a bridesmaid or two to make sure there’s always someone in the queue ready to run up, but to be honest, once people see how funny it is, they’re always keen to join in!
