Your wedding day goes by in a blur. Between the ceremony, reception, first dance, cutting the cake, and more, the hours fly by before you know it. This whirlwind of a day marks one of the most important memories you’ll create in your lifetime. You want to document as much of it as possible so you can cherish those special moments for years to come.
Unlike posed, formal wedding portraits, photo booths snap candid shots of you and your guests letting loose and having fun. Some of the best memories are unscripted, natural moments filled with laughter, joy, and authentic emotions. With a wedding photo booth, you’ll end up with candid, silly photos you’d never get otherwise. These “imperfectly perfect” shots capture the raw fun and excitement of the night. When you look back on them years later, those candid moments will take you right back to the dance floor as you and your best friends ham it up for the camera.
Your family and friends coming together is what makes a wedding so special. But with so much going on, you probably won’t get to spend quality time with each guest. The receiving line moves fast, you’re Pulled in different directions for photos, and the evening flies by quickly. A photo booth lets you steal a few minutes of face time with each person. It gives you the chance to snap memorable pictures with loved ones you may not see often. Those photo strips become cherished mementos reminding you of those special connections.
Speaking of mementos, don’t forget the wedding guest book! Rather than having guests simply sign their names, give them a photo strip to paste beside their entry. Seeing the smiling faces of your loved ones will add personality and heart to your keepsake guest book. It’s also more meaningful than just a signature to look back on for years to come. Guests will have fun selecting their favorite snap booth poses as you will flipping through the pages down the road.
Let’s be honest, posed wedding photos are rather tedious. Standing stiffly as the photographer directs endless shots becomes tiring over time. Guests will have more fun piling into the photo booth and acting silly than they would in formal group pictures. The carefree novelty of photo booths draws people in, capturing lively pictures you can’t plan for. Offer your guests an entertaining break from standard wedding portraits they’ll enjoy.
Photo booth providers offer all sorts of customization options to match your wedding style and personality. Most give you the choice of backdrops from simple drapes to floral walls or string lights. Some even allow you to provide your own customized backdrop if you desire. Props take the fun factor up another notch for photos that perfectly embody you as a couple. Goofy glasses, hats, signs, boas-the options are endless! Coordinate with your wedding colors or theme for cohesive photos. But also don’t be afraid to get creative and quirky too.
