When leaving a wedding with Sparklers, coordinating the guests, lighting of the sparklers, and the bride and groom exiting must be carefully choreographed for the photographer to create the best images and keep everyone safe at the same time. If the sparklers are lit too soon, they will burn out before the bride and groom make their way through the exit line. If the guests are standing too close to the bride and groom, the sparklers could burn the bride’s dress. Also, be sure to tell the guests what to do with their sparklers (they are very hot) once they’re burned out.

After photographing numerous sparkler exits and seeing how to do it right and wrong, I decided to create an instruction manual.
