Groups of people uploading photos to facebook?

This may be a strange question, but you guys seem to know everything so I thought I'd ask it here.

I own a video company and we videotape weddings. I was talking to someone about other high-tech offerings we could add to our service. He said how about having the guests take photos at the reception with their cell phones and upload them to a Facebook page made specifically for the bride and groom.

I know I can upload (or share) photos on my cell phone to my own Facebook page. But is it possible to take photos from your cell phone and send them to a different Facebook page?

If so, would it be easy to explain how to do it? I was thinking of putting placecards on each reception table with the instructions.

Thanks.

Mike

    Create a FB event for the wedding. All the invited guests can post photos to it. You then have a nice list for future marketing.

    512 Designs,

    This is a very innovative idea. An event page as NewParadigm mentions, would be good however it would not have the same functionality and options for imagery as a traditional timeline page would. If that didn’t matter to your clients then either would work. Inviting every guest to the page would be very tedious. People can post pics to a timeline simply by logging into facebook and posting on the page’s timeline that you have set up.

    I see a couple of problems with this. Not everyone has a phone capable of doing this, not everyone has a Facebook account (which is required to post an image). Having the instructions would be good and you could put the URL of the page right on the placecard. Note that after you have 25 likes on a page you can apply a customer URL. This would make it short and easy to remember if you could square that away before the event. So for example you could just print facebook.com/timandjaneswedding on the placecard instead of facebook.com/php?7642936543%^jyhaud blah, blah, blah.

    This guide is kind of old but still has some good tips,
