So... how do you dash?

The steps to a photo dash are extremely simple, and can even be customized to add more hilarious activities for your guests to participate in. Our best recommendation for a classic photo dash are the following simple steps:

1. Get ready for the thrill as the DJ announces the moment for each table to gather around and eagerly await the exciting dash of the bride and groom! Make sure you're ready, and don't forget... it's all about the DASH!

2. The photographer and the couple position themselves in the middle of the dance floor. When the DJ shouts "GO!", the couple, along with their photographer, will make their way around the room, stopping for just five seconds at each table.

3. And they're off to the races! With the DJ's signal, the couple embarks on their lightning-fast journey around the venue. After a quick snap with their guests at one table, they're onto the next!

4. The goal is to snap photos with EVERY guest before the song ends. Don't forget to strike a pose with the DJ, event planner, and even take a selfie with your photographer - everyone can join in on the photo dash fun!

5. Enjoy the joy and laughter captured in just a few minutes, creating memories that will be treasured forever. Each guest will leave with a delightful memory (and photo evidence) to cherish for a lifetime!
