photo booths

1.7K Posts


am thinking of paying for my daughter to have a photo booth at her wedding but its getting near and I think maybe I am beginning to 'throw money at things'. Are they really, really worthwhile and lots of fun?
Thank you

Also it depends on the sort of 'photobooth' you hire. Some are a guy with a camera, backdrop and some cheap props. Others you get a proper partysize booth with instant double prints.
We hired the latter for our wedding last year and it was a great hit. One of the funniest photos we got was my 85yr old granny wearing a wig and sunglasses. Amazing fun!
We have an album full of these fun pics and it was great entertainment for our guests.
At the time we paid £495 for ours but prices do seem to be falling a bit now as more & more people are jumping on the bandwagon.
These days, loads of people take their own cameras to weddings, so people were dressing up and snapping away
Once they were taken you got a copy and so did the bride and groom, and you wrote in a "visitors book". The bride got them all in an album a week or so later. she said it was one of the best things she forked out for.
edited to add - its not instead of a photographer. Its to create merriment on the night and for extra special memories of the occaision. a year later we still have our photos on our desks in work and it still prompts conversation.
I like the above idea of providing a frame and props instead, much cheaper.
We put aside £30 for the items and got loads of chalk boards, big frames, hats, glassess, wigs, blow up rubber ring etc
The photos are amazing and I love looking at them. We then used our guests individual photos as their thank you cards which we printed.
Agreed, we w4ent to a wedding with similar and it's was absolutely fab, used all night especially as there were loads of kids there who LOVED it.
