Field notes
The setup includes choices for the film’s look, flash treatment, development time and shots per guest. The page describes a QR code and printable card for the table, plus an album ordered by the evening and frames marked with who took them. It lists prices for larger guest groups, while noting that paid plans are not yet open and limits can be raised by request.
