Without a doubt, your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and you want to capture every special moment and cherish them for years to come.
You may be wondering whether to hire a photo booth for your wedding and what benefits it will bring to the occasion.
Renting a photo booth for your big day is a fantastic investment, as not only does it provide hours of fun and entertainment for you and your guests, but they help to create lasting memories for everyone too. We regularly hear from our customers that choosing a photo booth for their wedding was one of the best decisions they made, so in this article, we will explore the benefits of hiring a photo booth for your wedding to help you decide whether to invest in one for your special day.
Top Reasons To Hire A Photo Booth For Your Wedding
There are many reasons to rent a photo booth for your wedding, and there are many different types of photo booths too, from the Magic Mirror to the Inflatable LED photo booth! Some of the main benefits of hiring a photo booth include:
#1 Provides Entertainment For Your Guests
Hiring a photo booth is a great way to keep your guests entertained throughout your wedding. They provide a fun and interactive experience that everyone can enjoy and typically, your guests can take as many photos as they want, enjoy a selection of props to pose with and take a copy of their prints home. Everyone loves taking photos and having a photo booth at your wedding ensures there is never a dull moment!
#2 Creates Lasting Memories
Your guests will be able to take home a copy of their photo booth photos as a memento of your special day and the photos can also be added to your wedding album, guestbook or used for your thank-you cards. The photo booth provides a unique and fun way to capture memories that will last you and your guests a lifetime.
#3 Provides Instant Printed Photos
If you choose to hire a photo booth for your wedding, both you and your guests will get to see and take home their photos right away! Guests will also often be able to add an additional copy of their photos to the guestbook where they can leave a personal message for the bride and groom.
#4 Custom Options To Match Your Wedding
A photo booth can often be customised to match your wedding and your chosen décor or theme. Most photo booth hire companies will offer a choice of backdrop, and props, and some can even provide a custom photo border design service to match your photo templates to your wedding décor too.
The Magic Mirror Photo Booth can even have different frame colours and styles to match your décor and theme, from gold to silver or even white! At Star Eventz, we have several different frame options including Rose Gold and Antique Gold.
#5 Adds To the Decor
A photo booth can be a great addition to your wedding décor and also be a helpful addition to fill unused space in your venue. You can choose a photo booth that matches the theme of your wedding, or you can customize the booth to match your specific style. Many photo booths can be decorated with flowers, lights, or other decorations to make it a beautiful and eye-catching feature of your wedding.
#6 Breaks The Ice Between Guests
Nothing brings people together more than taking a photograph! Hiring a photo booth is a great way to break to ice between your wedding guests. They make a great focal point and feature and are sure to provide a fun way for guests to meet and interact with each other, whether they are young or old.
#7 Creates A Social Media Buzz
Some photo booth companies have the option to allow photos taken in the photo booth to be shared on social media, which can help to create a buzz around your wedding. Your guests can share their photos on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and you can even create a custom hashtag for your wedding.
This will allow you to see all the photos taken in the photo booth and create a sense of community around your wedding.
#8 Offers A Unique Guestbook Option
Instead of a or as well as a traditional wedding guestbook, the photos taken in the photo booth can be used to create a unique guestbook alternative, whereby for each photo taken, an additional copy is printed and placed in the guestbook for your guests to sign.
Many photo booth companies offer the option to include a guestbook in their package and some (including us) provide one free of charge for all wedding bookings!
You will have a personal keepsake that you can cherish for years to come with a copy of all your photo booth photos as well as messages from all of your guests.
#9 Ensures All Of Your Guests Make The Wedding Photos
Hiring a photo booth for your wedding can capture candid moments that may have been missed during the official wedding photographs. Whilst the wedding photographer typically focuses on capturing the more formal and posed moments and often mainly includes close family in the wedding photos, the photo booth can capture the fun and spontaneous moments that happen throughout the night. All your wedding guests will get the opportunity to use it, so most importantly, no one will be missed out of your wedding photos!
