Wedding party in a photo booth

How to Make the Most of Your Wedding Photo Booth

Your wedding is an opportunity to celebrate a significant milestone with your closest friends and family. While traditional staples exist, many modern celebrations feature entertaining additions, like photo booths, to enhance the guest experience. Photo booths allow couples and guests to capture each moment and let their silly side shine.

It’s a timeless activity with fun props and custom snapshots, elevating any event. If you want to rent a wedding photo booth for your reception party, follow this easy guide for the best interactive experience!

Select the Right Photo Booth for Your Wedding

When you think about photo booths, what’s the first image that comes to mind? Many people picture a classic, enclosed booth, separating guests from the rest of the event. A traditional kiosk offers many benefits, like privacy and excellent lighting. It also establishes a safe space for users to take goofy photos without worrying about awkward stares from others.

While a conventional photo booth is an intimate option, it may take up space, limiting the reception party layout. In addition, the color of a standard booth may not align with your aesthetic. After carefully crafting your dream wedding, the last thing you want is an eyesore.

For some of these reasons, couples opt for an open-air photo booth. With a sleek design, the open concept ensures larger groups can take pictures without squeezing into a small box. It also provides a welcoming atmosphere, inviting all guests to participate.

An open-air photo booth is ideal for couples who want a customizable option that inspires attendees to try it out for themselves. If you want to learn more about open-air stalls, you can review our FAQs page!

Plan the Location and Setup of the Photo Booth

Determining the best photo booth option is one of many factors to consider. But you’ll also want to keep placement in mind. One way to encourage guests to take pictures is by making the booth accessible in a high-traffic area. Setting it up by the dance floor or bar will give it visibility and a higher chance of being utilized.

Note: Allow additional space around the kiosk for lines.

Location plays a significant role, especially concerning light. If an open-air station is in the cards, position it away from windows. Natural light can interfere with the quality of the pictures. However, you can depend on your photo booth vendor for perfect lighting and brightness.

Besides location, you can interweave your event’s theme with a custom backdrop. From plain colors to glamorous textures, get creative and let your vision come alive. Here are some creative ideas to incorporate into your photo booth:

  • Removable walls
  • Vinyl decals
  • Hanging florals or greenery
  • Neon signs
  • Fringe curtains
  • Metallic elements and sequins

In addition to a unique backdrop, you can include fun props to elevate the experience. Silly hats, wigs, microphones, and custom signs allow guests to become new characters and tap into their childlike nature. With these tips, you can provide the ultimate photo booth experience while breaking the ice at your reception.

Spread the Word About Your Photo Booth

Let everyone know about this exciting addition with social media hashtags. Nowadays, social media is the place to share highlights. So if you want everyone to experience your wedding weekend to the fullest, add hashtags to your posts leading up to the date. Some popular options include #photobooth, #weddingphotobooth, and #photoboothfun.

Before you publish anything, give your photo vendor a shoutout by tagging them online. Doing so offers online exposure while creating anticipation for your festivities.

Another way of spreading the word is by featuring it on your invitations and wedding website. Invitations typically include the following details:

  • The host
  • You and your partner’s names
  • Date and time
  • Ceremony and reception destination
  • RSVP options

But standard etiquette doesn’t mean mandatory. You can add a personal spin by providing a sneak peek of your activities, highlighting the photo booth and games.

If you prefer the traditional route, post the specifics on your wedding website or social media. Wedding websites are quickly becoming the go-to tool for modern couples because they centralize all the information for guests. Are you planning to use a wedding website for your celebration? Create a bulletin page to keep everyone up-to-date.

Finally, you can never go wrong with word of mouth. Make a speech and invite guests to take memorable snapshots of themselves. Whether you mention the photo booth privately or during a toast, your attendees may feel more inclined to try it out for themselves after hearing about it.

Make the Most of Your Photo Booth Pictures

Once you secure your dream kiosk, you’ll want to make it worthwhile. Try these simple tips to sidestep nerves and have a memorable photo booth experience:

  • Own your goofy side: Now that the formal portraits are over, let your hair down and have fun. Strike a unique pose, and don’t hold back.
  • Select your favorite props: Pick random props and make each photo unique. If there’s a mustache on the table, put it on and unleash your inner detective. The best part is becoming a new character.
  • Do a group photo op: Get your besties together and jump in front of the camera. A group picture can ease tension, especially seeing your friends embracing their fun side.
  • Try something new: If smiling is your go-to expression, try on a different look for a change. You can do a peace sign or stick your tongue out for an amusing shot.

Your photo booth pictures are also perfect keepsakes. If you’re searching for a unique guest book idea, let your photo booth take center stage. Leave a scrapbook next to the kiosk and have your guests tape their printed copies to the book.

Afterward, they can write a sentimental message to you and your partner. It’s a creative idea to make your guest book even more special! Plus, it allows you to relive the fun from your night.

Capture Your Special Day With Your Very Own Photo Booth

An entertaining addition to your festivities, a photo booth can bring out the best in your guests and allow them to experience each exciting moment. Whether you select an enclosed or open-air booth, a professional can guarantee your photos look exceptional.

Make the Most of Your Wedding Photo Booth

Adding a photo booth to your wedding is a wonderful way to enhance the guest experience with an interactive element that is sure to keep people engaged all night long.

If you’re booking a photo booth for your special day, be sure to make the most of it with these tips!

Match your photo booth to your wedding theme.

Whether you’re hosting a black-tie gala-inspired bash or a rustic-chic celebration, your photo booth should be on-brand with the rest of your wedding decor! Consider how you can infuse your wedding theme into the backdrop, as well as the print photos. Most printouts can include a customizable monogram with your wedding date for an extra splash!

 

Provide plenty of photo booth props.

What’s a photo booth without props? Providing guests with silly props encourages them to really lean into the experience! From goofy accessories (like bowties and hats) to funny signs, don’t be shy! Many photo booth providers will include a set of props, but feel free to bring your own cheekiness to play and add your own touch.

 

Give guests a way to show off their pics.

There’s a good chance that your wedding photo booth will be a popular station for the whole night, so there will be plenty of great pictures coming from it! Consider creating a space for guests to post a copy of their photo strips. A frame with hanging clothespins, a chalkboard with magnets, or a pretty photo album are all great choices! Your guests will be able to flip through and see what everyone else has done. Plus, you’ll get to take those keepsakes home!

 

A memorable guest experience is all about engaging attendees with interactive elements, and photo booths are one of the best ways to do just that! Ready, set, cheese!

Kirsten and Tobey’s Glamorous Wedding at Casa Real

Elegant crystal chandeliers lit up Kirsten and Tobey’s ceremony area, along with their delicate selection of floating candles in glass vases.

Crystal chandeliers also played a part in the reception, as did a soft GOBO print wash on the dance floor. Kirsten, Tobey, and their family and friends made great use of the dance floor (lots of happy, sore feet at the end of the night!) and we loved having the opportunity to DJ for them! Their playlist was on point and even the guest requests were lots of fun. 🙂
