For a venue that is open-air or alfresco venues, add a string of lights to the greenery, curtain, or hang lamps over hanging tree branches.
  3.

Aside from being able to choose what image size your guests want, they can also choose between glossy or matte copy.
  7. No matter what type of setup you like, always consider to have an event hashtag. Even if or you’re not providing printed copies instantly, it is probable that anyone is going to take their own photos with their camera phones and directly upload them to their social media accounts.
