I’ve got a pro tip that can make a world of difference in your reception photos, and it might be something you’ve never really thought about. You know those dazzling, multi-color disco lights that turn your reception into the party of all parties? Well, you might want to talk to your DJ about them. Here’s why it’s a conversation worth having:

The Disco Light Dillema

Those vibrant, multi-color disco lights are not just accessories to your dance floor—they are going to be major players in the vibe of your wedding! And I’m not just talking about setting the stage for everyone’s epic dance moves, I’m also talking about the way your reception wedding photos look. While these lights can add a whole new level of fun and energy to your celebration, and absolutely have a place, you might want to consider the timing of when they get turned on.

Timing Is Everything

If these lights kick on too early in the night, especially during moments like parent dances or when the dance floor isn’t fully packed, they might not set the right tone for your photos. Imagine colorful splotches on faces and bodies that don’t quite match the vibe you’re going for. 

Sync Up with Your DJ

But don’t worry, that’s easy to avoid! All you have to do is have a chat with your DJ or band. Discuss if you want these lights, when they should come on and ensure everyone is on the same page.

Your wedding photos are timeless memories, and the ambiance captured in those shots should align with the mood you want to remember. So, before you hit the dance floor, sync up with your DJ and ensure your reception photos shine just as brightly as the disco lights themselves!
