While planning your wedding you may be asking yourself: is having a photo booth at my wedding worth it? I am a bit biased of course as an owner of a Photo Booth company but I’m also a wedding photographer and I’ve been a guest at weddings. I’ve seen hundreds of weddings. Some of them have a photo booth and some of them don’t. I’ve seen other vendor’s photo booths in action and I’ve heard guests opinions without them knowing I run a photo booth company. Truthfully, it’s not something that guests would miss. But if there is one, most of the guests will use it. It really is a wedding planning decision that comes down to personal preference with no pressure or judgement. I could easily give a long list of reasons to get a photo booth (or not get one) but I’m simply going to share honest key takeaways from what I hear.
Why have a photo booth at your wedding? From the guests’ perspective, they love having a souvenir of the rare occasion when they are all dressed up. If they are given prints, they are guaranteed to keep it and be reminded of great times with people they care about. I see so many people change their social media profile pictures to photo booth photos that night and the next day which says something. In regards to the experience, guests are noticeably more excited or impressed with the B&W Photo Booth.
From the couples’ perspective, it’s really for the guests and not necessarily for themselves. Many couples got a photo booth instead of investing in wedding favors. They really like that they have photos to look at while waiting on professional pictures. They also like that they have photos of certain guests that they would never get any other way. So, it’s important to make sure you book a photo booth that provides prints and shares digital versions instantly.
Do you need a photo booth at your wedding? Obviously I think having a photo booth at your wedding reception is a great idea but I also believe that it’s important to be intentional and plan a wedding that reflects your personalities. The point of a wedding is to celebrate your commitment to eachother with the support of those you care about most. You can really do your wedding however you want. More than anything, I want you to be more than happy and confident with your vendors. If a wedding photo booth is for you, Contact us today to book your photo booth rental.
