I don't know. It's a sort-of good idea. Avoid those disposable cameras and Rent digital wedding cameras, no damage fee, have your guests document your wedding, send them back and get a free wedding website, etc. Popular in Seattle territory. 10 cameras - $500. But couldn't you BUY cameras for that money locally? And really, doesn't your Uncle Fred and everyone else have a digital camera they're going to lug around? The shipping carbon footprint alone seems counter-intuitive... But it IS a good idea to ask an IT friend to set up a wedding pix website for you - and everyone can upload their 'documentary' stuff. And DO hire a good wedding photographer or draft an artistic media friend with good equipment who remains outside of the chatter and hugs - so you get an editorial record. YOU will be otherwise occupied :-)

There are other companies (like ours) that offer this same service, though for a bit less money (we only charge $245 for a ten camera rental). We've wrestled with the issue of our shipping carbon footprint as well; in the end, we decided that reducing the number of disposable cameras being used once and then thrown away would have a greater impact. After all, those ten disposable cameras that our service replaces would have had to be shipped to the store where they were purchased.
As for using Uncle Fred's digital pictures...sure, that can work out just fine. But we've found that trying to get his pictures, even if you provide an easy to use website for him to upload them to, can be a hassle. We've also found that people are much more inclined to use our cameras than they are to use their own; we get an average of about 75 photos per camera, which translates to more photos for you to enjoy after all of your events.
Thanks for taking the time to bring up this service, and we'd encourage you to check out our website at http://www.MyPhotofest.com, or do a search for digital camera rental so you can compare and contrast the different companies out there.
