100 portraits with names recorded - how to do, help!

1 year 6 months ago #744356 by haring
I have a project I am going to work on this week.
At the beginning of a conference I need to take photos of couples/guests
AND record their names. Next day I need to print the photos and mark
them with the couples/guests names.
I am planning to take the photos, and:
  1. have a blank sheet and i will ask them to fill in their names one after other, and
  2. record a video of the whole portrait session (2hours) including audio where I also voice record their names and the photos I take.
Have you ever done something like this? I was thinking to record audio to the camera file but I have never done this before. I have a 5D
mark Iv and a Canon r5. Is this a proper way to ensure all photos are
assigned with the right photos? I just don't want to mix up the names
and assign the wrong name to the photo.

I worked as press photographer many many years ago in film days.
Normally a reporter would accompany to socials, but sometimes they have more urgent stuff and you have to go solo. 
I had to make notes after every shot and write down the exposure number. 
I did another job where I used a whiteboard and marker to write details at the beginning of every new location.
Maybe try the whiteboard, let them fill it in, take a photo of it, wipe off, next shot.
So the names will always be the next shot on the thumbnails.
Otherwise, if possible, take an assistant.
