Posing Butterflies for Photographs
The moment of release is a breathtaking moment. Capturing that
moment on film is not always easy.
Spread disposable cameras throughout the area for your guests to use before, during, and after your
event.
A photograph shoot with your butterflies before the wedding is a wonderful way to preserve this
beautiful time with professional photographs.
Butterflies arrive in coolers,
tucked snugly into envelopes or containers, cooled by ice packs during shipment. While they are cool, they are fairly inactive.
To pose butterflies for photographs before your event, simply place a cool butterfly on the gown, flowers, or other item you wish
to use as a backdrop or part of the photo. You will have about sixty seconds before the butterly will fly away. After taking a few
photos, slip the butterfly back into an envelope and place it back into the cooler for a few minutes or a refrigerator for a few seconds
before using it again for photos.
To pick up your butterflies, grasp them as people hold a cigarette, between two fingers.
This prevents scales from coming off their wings and preserves the full beauty of a fresh butterfly for photographs. Losing scales
will NOT hurt the butterfly. If so, butterflies would not live long in nature. Because scales can come off their wings and thier wings can
tatter without harming the butterfly, they are able to escape predators. But for your photographs, you want to preserve all the beauty of
a fresh butterfly.
When placing the butterfly back into the cooler or refrigerator, do not allow the envelope to become wet. A
paper envelope will work well to hold a butterfly is the envelope or box in which it arrives becomes wet. A wet envelope or box can
cause the butterfly to die.
If you plan a photography shoot before the event, plan to order a few additional butterflies for this purpose.
