5 Reasons Why you Need a Photo Booth at your Wedding

As you plan your wedding, it’s likely that you have a few key things at the very top of your to-do list: venue, photographer, catering, etc. But what you might not have considered yet is something that could add loads of fun to your reception: a photo booth! If you’re debating whether a photo booth is a good fit for your wedding,consider these five reasons why you should spring for one:

​ 1. Capture  Memories
Certainly, your professional photographer is going to capture those special moments from your wedding: your first look, first kiss, and first dance. But nothing beats the photos taken when you and your college friends grab a pair of Kanye sunglasses and a mustache-on-a-stick, and jump into a photo booth! The pressure to get into just the right pose comes off when the purpose of the photo is to be whaky and fun. Some of the most amusing and genuine moments of the night will be captured on the little strip that pops out of the printer

2. Entertainment Variety
​Great DJ? Check. Open bar? Check. Sounds like you’re on your way to planning a good time! But chances are, everyone isn’t going to dance for the entire reception. And we all know what happens when someone spends a little too much time at the bar. What else is a guest to do? A photo booth adds variety and makes for a great activity for guests bouncing between the dance floor and the bar. Taking a break after the Cupid Shuffle for a quick photo shoot is sure to entertain!

​.3 .Socialize
Some aspects of a wedding reception can be very structured, particularly seating charts and buffet lines, all of which can cut into the opportunity for guests to socialize with people they haven’t met yet. There’s something about a photo booth that really brings people together! 

4. Easy Favors
We’ve all been to weddings where the thank you gift has been a shot glass, a bag of M&M’s, or something else that soon gets tossed or forgotten about. Thank your guests for coming in a much less cliché way by sending them home with a personalized photograph or two that serves as a constant reminder of how much fun they had at your wedding. Don’t be surprised to see that photo hanging on their fridge when you stop by to visit, even months later! Prints from a photo booth are customizable, and can include your names, wedding date, and can even match your colors and theme, making them the perfect keepsake.

5. Hi-Tech Perks
Many modern photo booths offer the option to quickly access your photos digitally, whether through a private gallery or a Facebook album, making it easy to share your big day on social media. Wedding hashtags and bridal party selfies are increasingly popular these days, so this feature is sure to up your insta-game! Ask your photo booth vendor if they can provide an iPad Kiosk that makes scrolling through and sharing your photos a breeze.  Including a photo booth at your reception is sure to make your wedding a hit! Guests will appreciate the added entertainment, and you’ll enjoy flipping through all those goofy photographs to relive your big day.
