Hello Sharon, You could try crowdsourcing that work and knowledge to the visitors themselves.
1. Tell the visitors ahead of time that you'll be photographing, then invite them to visit a flickr or facebook page--or something like that--after their visit to tag themselves. 2. Then you hold the event, and take the photographs. 3. Then you put the photos up on a social platform, wait for people to tag themselves, and use the names you find. 4. Then wherever you end up publishing your officially captioned photos, you can include a brief note that the people identified themselves, which could add a little credibility to the information authenticity. With this method, a) you alert the visitors that there will be publicized photographs, so they can leave if they don't want to be 'public' , and b) you crowdsource information-gathering, which should save you a little bit of time and effort. Hopefully this helps!
