How to run a hook only after selected Cucumber scenarios?

I've written a hook to capture a screenshot of a successful test:

After do |scenario|
  if scenario.passed?
    screenshot_pass = "/VVR_Browser_BDD/Test Pass/#{scenario.name}.jpeg"
    page.save_screenshot screenshot_pass
  end
end

This element works very well at the moment, but as my test suite grows, I'll be overrun by screenshots. I want to pick and choose when this hook is used.

I know with a feature file, you can tag it like:

@happypath
When /^I log into a page$/ do

etc etc.

Can that same tag mechanism be used to call the hook?

I only want to run screenshots for new tests that I've written to satisfy me they're working correctly before they're integrated into my full test suite.

If you are calling the code as part of a hook, you should be able to perform the action for tagged scenarios

@take_screenshot
When /^I log into a page$/ do

Then your hook could be called

After('@take_screenshot') do |scenario|
   if scenario.passed?
     screenshot_pass = "/VVR_Browser_BDD/Test Pass/#{scenario.name}.jpeg"
      page.save_screenshot screenshot_pass
  end
end
