During the wedding planning process I was fortunate enough to cross paths with some excellent vendors. Most of them I sought out myself, but one very important one came to me.
I was contacted by Canditto to see if I would be interested in their photo-sharing kiosk at my wedding. Intrigued, I asked for more details.
Here’s the scoop: Canditto is an unobtrusive small kiosk that looks similar to the photo machines at your local CVS. Guests simply insert their memory card and all photos they took in the last eight (or six…this feature is customizable) hours will be uploaded onto the machine. At the end of the night, your kind and handy kiosk attendant (I had one of the founders, Rush, and he was most awesome) hands you a USB with all of the uploaded images on it.
Michael and I walked away with almost 500 candids from the day. Talk about instant gratification! We spent a good portion of the following day reliving our wedding and couldn’t have been happier about it. Canditto is the reason I’ve been able to share so many pictures with you while waiting for our professional images.
Canditto is currently only available in New England, but come Spring 2009 they will have a version that can be sent via FedEx anywhere in the country.
Canditto isn’t just for weddings, either. They’d be great for birthday parties, graduations, office get togethers or any event you’d love to have pictures from immediately.
As a special bonus, book your Canditto before Decemeber 31, 2008 and mention this post to receive 10% off.
Contact Canditto with any questions on their contact page.

That is quite possibly the coolest thing I can think of. I wish I had that!

Haha love this: Canditto was created at MIT and tested at events with more than 400 drunk party goers. It has six patented elements that make it easy for even the most technophobic and disoriented users.

well, i just have to say…canditto has transcended the disposable camera that used to be on every table. it is the most fantastic way to get quality candid shots, and immediately.
after a few “will ya look at that thing!” comments from the older crowd, even the least techie of us all managed to use it and just cannot get over it.
highly recommended…..

That’s so cool. I also liked a recent wedding I went to that had a photo booth (which is apparently all the trend now, I’m a little slow 🙂 ). It printed out 2 strips of photos, one for the bride/groom scrapbook, and one for you to keep. Probably one of my favorite wedding favors.

What a fantastic idea! I am guilty of not sharing the pics I took at weddings and parties with the host in a…ahem, timely manner 🙂

I thought this was such a great idea at your wedding! However, the machine would not accept my card, even when the guy put it in for me. I think this happened to a couple of people. I was sad. The good news is…the pictures are on Facebook!

That is a great idea!
Although… I’m not sure ALL of my candids should be shared…

What a crazy coincidence! Rush is a good friend of my friend who just got married this past weekend and he brought this to her wedding as well! It was amazing and she got over 750 pictures. I think the best part was that it’s all on a flash drive.

Oh I so wish that I heard heard about this (or the photo booth idea) before my wedding. What a great idea!!

That is really cool! We are doing a share your photos thing, but it won’t be instant, and I’m sure that a lot of people won’t even upload pictures!

Thanks so much for this suggestion! I’m excited (and hopeful thanks to a quick email response from Canditto’s owner Rush) that this will be available for my North Carolina wedding next October. A much improved version of the disposable camera on every table idea indeed!

Good stuff on those digital cameras, esp at this wedding! 🙂 Great idea. Wish I’d had it for my wedding. I know there are STILL photos out there I would love to see.
