I've seen this done at other weddings and am implementing it at ours in addition to our professional photographer. In our ceremony programs, I am including a poem that explains to guests that we'd like them to share their digital pictures of the wedding with us on our site. Their are a few major sharing sites: http://shutterfly.com/ , http://photobucket.com/ , and http://snapfish.com/ . I like all three, but seem to have the most fun on shutterfly, so that is the site we'll be using. Here's the poem:
We’re so glad you’re here
To share our special day,
We hope these wonderful memories
Never go away,
To help us to remember
How special this day was,
There’s something you can do
That really would help us,
Eat, drink, be merry
And enjoy yourself tonight,
But, please take some digital photos
and upload them to our site.
The program insert then gives instructions for uploading photos and our username and password. Not only is this free, but brides and grooms can save beau coup bucks buying albums, photobooks, prints, and canvases from photosharing sites versus their photographer. We are also buying a CD of our pro pics to do just that. I also suggest signing up for email lists on the photo-sharing sites, primarily shutterfly as they often send me coupons for free shipping and other offers.
