Bob isn’t just bringing his digital cameras to the wedding — he’s also packing a bit of fun and nostalgia. Sitting neatly in his camera bag, side by side, are two small instant cameras: his Instax Mini 11 and Instax SQ6.
He smiles as he picks them up. “These two,” he says, “are for the memories people can hold.”
The Instax Mini 11 — Bob’s Pocket Smile Machine
The Instax Mini 11 is the smaller of the two, and Bob loves it for how quick and easy it is. One button, one flash, one instant print. It’s perfect for handing to guests who aren’t photographers but want to take part in the fun.
During the reception, Bob plans to use it for spontaneous portraits — laughing couples, kids dancing, and the grandparents holding hands. Every photo that comes out is a surprise — slightly imperfect, warm, and real.
He always says, “The Mini 11 doesn’t just take pictures — it gives moments.”
The Instax SQ6 — Bob’s Classic Square Storyteller
Then there’s the Instax SQ6, with its square format that feels like a throwback to old Polaroid days. Bob likes using it for more composed shots — details of the table settings, the wedding cake, and the bride’s bouquet.
The SQ6 has more control: exposure modes, a stronger flash, and that perfect square frame that makes every photo look timeless. Bob plans to use it for mini portraits of the wedding party — small keepsakes that guests can take home or pin to a board.
“This one’s my instant album maker,” Bob says. “Every print feels like a memory that’s already aged beautifully.”
Why Bob Brings Both
For Bob, the two Instax cameras serve different purposes — the Mini 11 for fun and quick sharing, and the SQ6 for framed, elegant memories.
While his Sony cameras capture the sharp, detailed story of the day, the Instax cameras give guests something tangible — a print they can tuck into their jacket or purse before leaving.
Bob loves watching people smile when the photo slowly develops in their hands. “It’s a kind of magic you don’t get from a screen,” he says.
