Hi Bees!
We are having trouble trying to decide between these two photos for a canvas photo guestbook. Our photographer says that size 20×30 should be sufficient for ~200 guests. Anyone with experience with this that has any input about size and the look of it once its signed I would love to hear and see!
Photo 1: will be signed with a silver marker
Photo 2: Black marker
Thanks! 
ETA: Also, If you have a particular reason for picking one over the other please share

I love photo #2…. I think it would look great with signatures all around it.

#2 is better due to the lighter background. It’ll be easier to see what people write.

I Like that you can see both of our faces in the first one. But the second one has been one of my favorite photos of the whole bunch. I just didn’t know if it would look funny that all the signatures will be on the left side of the photo.

Photo 1 is a terrific picture, and you should definitely display it, but Photo 2 gives your guests much more room to sign. I vote for 2

I like photo one because it’s more affectionate/romantic/couple-y. Photo number 2 is just kind of like “oh, they’re standing there.” Not a great wedding keepsake in my opinion.

I like 2 as well, because it’ll lok better with all the signatures.

Photo #2 because there is more space for signatures and with the brick wall the signatures will look a little like graffiti (which I think would be a cool effect).

I think Photo 2 would look better with signatures on it than Photo 1 would. Also, as a guest I would feel weird writing over your faces. That is harder to avoid in Photo 1.
