Why Wedding Photo Booths Are wonderful
Wedding photo booths tick two important boxes: entertaining your guests and capturing epic memories. Your guests will have a great time dressing up, messing around, and taking silly pictures that you can keep as memories forever! You could get your loved ones to stick their photos in a guest book, or to share them on social media. Some companies will allow you to access all the photos online, too.
There are so many quirky photo booth options so you’re bound to find one that fits your theme, no matter how niche or sophisticated. Sometimes, wedding photo booths double as transport, bars, or glitter stations! The fun is endless! From campervans and tuk-tuks to disco lights and themed backdrops, bring the entertainment in your own unique way!
