So you’re going to depend on your wedding photographer to get the best candid shots of your guests? Whether you plan on having skydivers, a celebrity musical performer, fireworks, multiple champagne toasts, or memorable gifts like personalized notebooks or complimentary bottles of wine, a photo booth should be in your top ten must-have’s for your special day. With a convenient set-up, instant digital uploading, and on-point props, your photo booth will be a reception favorite and only second to the amazing couple!
The wedding photographer is your private paparazzi and they’re getting paid to get it all on camera. With the minimal on-site support that a photo booth requires, this digital stage does all the work for you and as a working memory book, will be perfect for revisiting your special day in the years to come. Your wedding photographer isn’t going to get everybody on the list at your reception and this could very well be the only time that both sides of your family collide in one place for a very long time or possibly forever.
This is going to be one of the happiest days of your lives and if you have guests coming from all sides of the country or state, this could be one of the only times you have a chance to get a few pics. You could produce some of your family’s greatest photos that everyone will remember for years to come. When are both of your crazy uncles going to be in town at the same time? Here are a few reasons why no matter what you have planned, a photo booth rental should be within the top ten necessities for creating the ultimate entertaining and memorable wedding reception.
1. Celebration Participation
Cordialness on your wedding day involves you meeting and greeting every guest that attends. Some weddings are so big that guests who come only end up saying hello to the Bride and Groom for a couple of minutes and then spend the rest of the night chatting away before disappearing while the Bride and Groom dance away with their wedding party and closest members of their family. Your guests will feel like they are participating in your celebration even more by bringing them together with a photo booth. Not to mention it will produce pictures of guests that you may or may not remember them taking to on your big night.
2. Something for everyone
While the music may be geared toward most of your friends attending the wedding and possibly your younger aunt, a photo booth is universal. No decade is missed with a photo booth. You can have a picture with three different generations in one shot and they will all have a good time. Your mom may not be into hip-hop and your nephew may not enjoy swinging to Jesse’s Girl but you can bet they will all enjoy the photo booth.
3. This IS Your Guest Book
You will take home your treasured book of signatures and notes from all the guests attending your wedding. Then in ten to twenty years you can open the guestbook and read it, perhaps starting a mission to figure out what aunt Beatrice wrote in cursive. While guest sign-in books are still priceless and offer immense gratification, with a photo booth rental you will be able to see (and download) every picture taken. And whenever you feel like it, you can revisit your photo guest book and reminisce. Your photo booth guest book will instantly become one of your most treasured keepsakes for your own celebration and each of your guests will be able to take their photos home with them. It’s an obvious win, win.
4. Alternative Activity
Not everyone is a dancer and not everyone knows your inside jokes. Some people don’t want to sit at the table all night so why not give your guests another activity they can enjoy. A photo booth is a new stop on the tour during your reception celebration. Guests will be talking about it and recruiting other guests. You will have people visiting your photo booth rental all night. Trust us… people will flock.
5. Surprise, Surprise
You never know… your wedding reception could be the very place where two people meet for the first time. Isn’t that how it goes? Couples meet at weddings all the time and surprise – your photo booth may end up being the first place they take a picture together. Not only does a photo booth present the element of surprise at an event by offering a little of the unexpected, but it could break the ice for future lovers and couples or even help different sides of your families get closer and become friends. It’s a great interactive way for your families to go beyond champagne conversations across the assigned seating arrangement. And you will have photo proof of how you were responsible 🙂
6. It’s Thematic
If you decide to have a theme at your wedding a photo booth rental can be customized to fit right in with the backdrop you choose. With the instant ability to upload pictures, your friends and family can easily appease their social media delights by sharing pics right away. But don’t worry there are always printouts available for everyone too.
7. It’s In Your Budget
On the biggest day of your life that you have been planning for the last year, there have probably been numerous expenses that could make you want to have just one more glass of champagne. Don’t worry about the photo booth because they are very affordable and have arguably the best ROI. With all the time and expenses you are spending on preparation, food, entertainment and gifts, a photo booth easily fits in your budget and will be one of the least expensive main events at your reception. There are different package deals you can arrange and we can help find the one that fits your wedding perfectly.
It’s not that the wedding photographer or videographer won’t capture the best memories, but they can’t capture everything. A photo booth rental will add excitement and boost the celebratory atmosphere. You’ll add some of the best pictures you could ever hope for of your family and friends. A photo booth rental is a must-have for your special day for so many reasons.
