Starting in the summer of 2022, we noticed an interesting trend: more and more couples began placing disposable cameras at their weddings to let guests participate in capturing memories. It’s a fun idea—but after doing a cost analysis, we discovered that Paper Shoot cameras are actually a smarter, more sustainable choice.

 

Cost-Benefit Analysis

The True Cost of Disposable Cameras

Let’s take an example of using 20 disposable cameras at a wedding:

Purchase Cost:

  • 20 disposable cameras × $15 = $300

  • Taxes: approx. $30–50

  • Subtotal: $330–350

Developing Cost:

  • 20 cameras × $15 developing = $300

  • Total cost: $630–650

Actual Results:

  • 20 cameras × 27 exposures = 540 photos

  • But many shots are wasted due to overexposure, blur, or missed focus.

  • Usable photos: 300–400 at best

Sarah & Michael:
“We initially prepared 15 disposable cameras but later found Paper Shoot’s package. We ended up with over 2,000 photos! Guests had a blast because they didn’t have to worry about wasting film. The candid laughter and spontaneous interactions captured were priceless—angles even our professional photographer missed.”

Professional Photographer’s Perspective

Complementary, Not Competitive

Paper Shoot isn’t here to replace professional photographers—it offers a different, more candid perspective.

Professional Photographer: key moments, formal portraits, artistic compositions
Paper Shoot: candid guest shots, behind-the-scenes fun, spontaneous moments

Why Photographers Recommend It

  1. Reduces pressure on the main photographer—guests help capture extra moments.
