A few years back, photo booths became very popular at weddings.
It was no longer a wedding unless your guests were all huddling in a box wearing mustaches and wigs.
We are thrilled that this trend is still going strong!
Photo booths provide wholesome, fun photos that a photographer could not capture at a party. The shyest of people, including children and grandparents, come out of hiding in photo booths.
These are the essentials for every photo booth, whether you use a professional photo booth or you build your tripod.
Chalk Boards & Speech Bubbles
Chalkboards, speech bubbles, and other fun elements can be added to your booth. Your guests may send you their best wishes, musings, or even some not-so-serious sketches.
Silly Hats & Wigs
Hats and wigs are a great way to get people into the spirit. Choose from pink, punk, or afro wigs.
Specs, Lips & Moustaches
You can either buy these fantastic sets online or create your own before the wedding.
Masks
It’s because of the amazing lighting that so many people feel comfortable in the photo booth. Photo booth pictures are not the dreamy, dewy lighting that you see in wedding photos. They tend to be quite bleached out, which makes them look super-flattering.
If you are looking for a photographer for your photo booth, make sure that the offer has bright lights to let your guests shine.
Some photo booth companies will bring their booth. (Some even offer unique and personalized versions!) If you are working with a photographer or creating your own backdrop, it is important to have a fun one.
Consider tassel buntings, glitter backdrops, and novelty wallpapers!
Why not add your classic photo booth prints or instant Polaroid prints to your guestbook? This is a great way to capture guests’ signatures before they leave the dance floor.
Some companies even print duplicates so that you can get the entire picture, and your guests will also get one to take home. Nifty!
