My friend is having a budget wedding this weekend and asked me to take some photos for her. There will be some group pics needed, so once all the people are together how would you ask everyone to smile, rather than just saying 1,2,3 smile please !!!! which I think is quite boring ! Is there any photographers out there that can give some advice or a quirky little saying that might be amusing enough to bring smiles to everyones face at the same time. thanks

Evening all. I've just received some good news and some bad news.

Stay or Go?

Some people used to say "say cheese", we used to say "say sausages".

thought abt the 'cheese' / 'sausages' .. but thought they were bit cheesy (excuse the pun!) ... grandma's knickers, not sure about that one ?!
Any one else any more ideas or thoughts please ?

Try saying 'Smile Please', or 'cheese' or whatever, pretend to take the picture then say 'now do it again with your teeth in'.
You have to be quick taking the second shot, though.

And it only works once.

No offence but if you took your clothes off, would people smile?
