The photo booth styles
open air or glam booth
These are often the most popular , and involve a camera and a light in front of a backdrop . You can customize your backdrop to match your wedding decor and theme . Some companies offer on the spot snapshots while others require guests to input their phone number or email and digitally deliver the memories . Jordan , from Hip Hip Array says many couples will just use the venue as a backdrop and call it good . She says “ the easiest way to have a fun and successful photo booth experience is to hire out the backdrop . We offer flower walls , balloons , and neon signs to add another level to your open-air booth memories .”
old school
You remember seeing these at the mall , piling in with your friends , and chuckling at the strip of pictures it spits out at the end . It always cracks us up to see large groups squished inside , giggling and laughing while someone ’ s head is halfway in the frame . slo-mo
Do you want to get the belly laughs going ? Have a slow-motion video booth that allows your guests to create short video clips in hyper-slow motion . Going from frowns to hysteria is always funnier in slow-motion .
360 degree
These are one of the most unique photo booth experiences . They allow your guests to see themselves from all sides . You can freeze a moment in time and see it from all angles . Amanda , owner at Eventful Rental , says , “ These are pretty cool , but the software is still unreliable at times . Make sure you have a good wi-fi connection at your venue so that your guests can experience all the bells and whistles .”
green screen
Take your guests with you on an exciting trip - or even your honeymoon ! On second thought , maybe not ! But by using a green screen background , your guests can choose what is behind them : exotic locals , scary animals , hilarious scenes - the possibilities are endless !
gif maker
These photo booths go the extra mile . They allow your guests to create animated GIFs that can easily be shared on social media . These are definitely next level !
