Bubble send off (at night) ?

Maybe best option is to move the send off spot to a lighted area

Bubbles, fiber optic wands, and supposedly white rose petals looks great off the flash of the camera.

I would say something that would reflect light well. White rose petals or a large, chunky glitter I think would look awesome, the glitter would almost look like snow. I don't think bubbles would work as well, I would think it would be hard to tell what they were in the photos.

ETA: our send off actually is staged to happen following the ceremony, so it's still light out, rather than the reception. What about doing something like that, so your photos are still during the daytime, assuming it's not a late wedding?

What about sparklers?

ETA- I just saw you said you can't have sparklers! Sorry

Glow in the dark bubbles?

Just something to think about- bubbles can stain fabric.

Ive had a dress ruined from bubbles.

Do your photographers have lights they can set up? That's what ours did. Once they knew the exit was coming up, they went outside and set up a couple extra freestanding lights. I actually bought a bunch of glow sticks for color but people ended up using them during dancing and just the bubbles later.

I love bubbles. we did it when the ceremony finished since we didn't do a send off. our guests really liked it too word to the wise..if you use phosphorescent bubbles, there's a really good chance it will ruin your dress. they stain. I'll echo making sure it's in a well lit area or that your photographers have a few strobe lights or flash set up.

talk to them about it and mention your lighting concerns and i'm sure they'll come up with an idea to work with it.

Bubbles look beautiful on video and videographers usually have lights on continuously attached to their cameras or on stands, when in the dark.
