Should I get a photo booth for my wedding?

Weddings aren’t just a celebration of your love – they’re a celebration of love itself. There’s a high likelihood that your single friends are secretly hoping they might meet someone special at your big party, and sparking that perfect moment with a photo booth is one of the best ways to ensure that. And it’s not just romantic relationships that might bud at your photo booth – tons of friends and family who haven’t met each other will finally get to bond over their new outfits, mutual interests, and love of the newlywed couple. You never know where you’ll meet your new best friend or even The One. Make your wedding the easiest place for that to happen. You might even get a shout out when the next happy couple can say they met at your wedding.

They’re a Chance to Throw in Fun Accessories

Crowns, mustaches, top hats, feather boas, and whatever else feels right are the way to bring down any lingering feelings of stuffiness at the reception. Weddings can be very serious events, but they should also be fun and let folks who may have just had a good cry find a place to laugh. Our open-air photo booth comes with a full props collection and custom backdrops so your guests can let loose and get creative.

You can also use the photo booth as a place to show off your theme or something that represents how you and your partner fell in love. Did you meet at the beach? A sea-themed photo booth experience with pirate hats, sailor accessories, and a mermaid crown could be a shout out to where your story began. Both of you love the rodeo? Bring on the cowboy hats and lassos. This is your chance to poke a bit of fun at yourselves and invite others to find the joy and magic that brought you together. Ask about our custom backdrop options when you book.

A photo booth also pairs perfectly with our event lighting packages to make sure every shot is beautifully lit, whether your venue is a grand ballroom or an open-air barn.

Let the Guests Score Their Own Keepsakes

Sometimes weddings send people home with a generic shot glass or t-shirt. Sure, it is cute, but it is not something that necessarily reminds people of what they enjoyed at the wedding -- spending time with you and your loved ones. Photo booths allow you to print a catchphrase and a date, or other information, on the bottom of the photos. They also let your friends and family share their photos to their social media pages right away. These photos remind them forever of what they were celebrating and how it felt to be there.

And since keepsakes are all about the memories, make sure those memories are fully captured. Pair the photo booth with our wedding videography services so every laughing moment, every prop-filled group shot, and every heartfelt exchange is documented beautifully.

The photo booth also works beautifully during the cocktail hour while guests are mingling and waiting for the reception to begin. It keeps energy high and gives everyone something fun to do between the ceremony and dinner.

Want to take the fun even further? Add our cold spark machines or dancing on clouds effect to create truly spectacular moments that go beyond the photo booth. Check our pricing to bundle the photo booth with other services, or contact us today to start planning your perfect wedding day.
