YMCA Picture Time

The photographer ran up to me and asked if I was going to play the YMCA. He continued, “If you do, could you tell everyone to look up at the camera while they’re spelling out YMCA with their hands? I’ll be at the top of the stairs. It’s going to make a great photo!”

I absolutely did just that, and the guests loved it. I’m sure the couple got a great photo as well.

Getting great group shots often requires the DJ and photographer to work together. It helps if they are both motivated to interact with the guests, not just hiding in the shadows or behind a booth. Guests will do almost anything to have a good time and some are waiting to be led. A good vendor-team effort can help get them there.
