Top 10 Creative Wedding Photo Booth Ideas
These are some unique photo booth ideas for weddings as recommended by the team at Kande:
1. Glam Booths
One of the most popular choices for weddings are Glam photo booths. The name is a giveaway – everyone looks incredibly glamorous in these photos!
Glam booths are equipped with a skin softening beauty filter that smooths out blemishes and wrinkles to give guests a flawless finish. The standard booth set up comes with a premium white backdrop and specialist studio lighting which enhances the guests’ natural beauty.
The default configuration for the Glam booth is to produce sophisticated black and white photos, however there is an option to upgrade to have either color or black and white. The wedding guests will come away with flattering photos that they will love to share.
2. Romantic Floral Backdrops
Another one of the most popular options for weddings is the standard photo booth with a stunning floral background. The premium handmade flower walls are crafted using multi-layered, high quality artificial flowers that look ultra-realistic in photos. This option is also very eye-catching during the wedding as guests always flock to a beautiful backdrop!
Depending on the theme and color scheme of the wedding: tropical paradise, classical cottage garden, or glamorous chic, our team can help the couple choose the right floral backdrop for their event. Choose from:
– Daquiri rose wall
– White leaves flower wall
– Pastel pink and white rose wall
– Sangria rose wall
– Purple haze rose wall
– Rainforest rose wall
3. Standard Booth with Customized Backdrop
Whatever the theme of the wedding, our team can create a fully customized backdrop for the standard booth set up. Having a backdrop with the names of the married couple can create a great focal point and a touch of magic on the day to entice the wedding guests to strike a pose.
Our team will work with the couple ahead of the wedding to create the design of the backdrop tailored to fit the theme. Speak to our creative team about what can be achieved using a Kande standard photo booth.
4. Roaming Photo Booths
Some wedding venues are in the most spectacular historic buildings with incredible grounds – it would be a shame not to make the most of these backdrops in the photos. Instead of having a standard booth with a fixed backdrop our team recommends using a roaming photo booth.
This can also be the best option for those who want to capture guests at every stage of the event: from first entering the venue; enjoying the conversations around the table; to getting caught in the heart of the dance floor.
Our roaming photo booth is manned by one of our dedicated staff. The handheld device has an LED ring light and takes Photos, GIFs and Boomerangs, all of which are instantly shareable via email and text.
5. Prom-Style Photo-Booth Entrance
Visibility of the photo booth on the day is an important factor. The position of the photo booth can really alter the type of interactions the wedding guests have with it.
If the photo booth is at the entrance to the wedding party venue, guests can be captured on the way in. Guests love a dramatic entrance and this is often a great way to get every guest at their best before the celebrations really kick off. It’s also a way to prevent the shyer guests from dodging the booth!
6. 360 Photo Booth
360 Booths are a great choice for weddings. Upon entering the booth guests stand on a platform and pose while a spinning camera rotates 360 degrees around them to film a video. There are different platform sizes to choose from. Depending on the set up, 360 Booths can fit from 1 to 5 people.
The videos produced by the 360 booths are typically 15 seconds long to optimize sharing via email, text and QR code.
Ahead of the wedding the Kande design team can create a fully customized 360 enclosure to fit the theme of the wedding to add extra drama. Fun add-ons include the use of confetti and fog cannons. Before booking, check that the venue allows confetti!
Music files are available for wedding guests to add to the videos for a more personalized touch. Working with our team in advance we can also create video overlays and custom intros and outros.
7. Standard Booth with On-Site Printing
A popular add-on for our standard photo booth option is on-site printing. A photo can be printed in under 11 seconds onto our premium photographic paper. This allows guests to receive top quality printed photos to take away on the day as a wedding day memento.
It’s even possible to print photos off and display them on the day. Imagine having the photo booth in a prominent position at the wedding venue and adding the printed photos to a pin board for all the other guests to see as they build up throughout the wedding. This is a great way to encourage others to join in!
8. Green Screen Booth
Using a green backdrop, the Kinde advanced software replaces the background with a digital video or image. Guests can choose a background from a selection within the pre-chosen gallery connected to the theme of the wedding. As guests strike a pose against the backdrop the software replaces the green background with the chosen scene.
Popular wedding scenes include romantic iconic landscapes and landmarks, and Disney fantasy scenes such as castles and enchanted gardens.
The backgrounds could even be personal to the married couple – the first place they met, their first date, their hometowns or their dream location.
9. Themed Costume Photo Booth
If the wedding has a specific theme, or the couple want to liven things up for the celebrations, a standard photo booth with an array of costumes could be a great way to get the guests in the photo taking and sharing mood.
The theme of the costumes could reflect the wedding, the party celebration or interests of the couple. Popular costume themes include a masquerade ball or 1920s Gatsby glamor. The photo booth can be set up with an array of costumes and accessories including: hats, masks, crowns, gowns and capes.
There are plenty of other add-ons that could be used to enhance the theme such as a greenscreen backdrop that can digitally place the guests into a scene that goes with the theme of the costumes. Our team can also create a digital overlay with the name of the couple and the date that can be added to every photo.
This photo booth invites guests to be creative and have fun posing for pictures.
10. Fun Wedding Props Photo Booth
Not every wedding theme is focused on a sophisticated sleek look. For those that want to have an emphasis on lighthearted fun and humor, a standard photo booth with an array of pre-designed props might be a better fit.
Similarly to the option of having costumes, the couple can work with our team in advance to design custom made signs, props and a backdrop that will enhance the overall theme and photo booth experience.
Props can be a great way to help even the shyest wedding guests to interact with photo booths. Kids especially love playing with props!
Renting vs. DIY Wedding Photo Booths
Weddings are incredibly stressful to organize. With so many moving parts from the transport, to the food, don’t let photography be another pressure to manage. It may be tempting to set up a DIY photo booth, save a bit of money and hope for the best, but when the happy couple view the photos after the event and return to them in the future will the saving be worth the blurred, low quality photos?
Kande’s wedding photo booth rental options offer a professional package with cutting edge equipment that guarantees top-quality photos with no stress. Our full-service photo booth rental packages include delivery, set up, management during the event, and the swift removal of the equipment after the event by our knowledgeable and friendly staff. Throughout the wedding celebrations the Kande staff will handle all the technical elements and guide even the shyest guests through the process to get the best quality photos.
Each of Kande’s photo booth rental options come with professional lighting and all the required equipment. Ahead of the wedding our team will go over the technical requirements to make sure everything will run smoothly on the day, as well as the creative requirements to make sure the experience is memorable for guests and the happy couple.
Additional Add-ons
Our team can create a digital gallery that guests and the newly married couple can freely browse. There are also add-on options so guests can receive top quality printed photos to take away on the day or share photos through the Kande social media sharing kiosks.
Another popular add-on for weddings is the option to receive a photo mosaic board after the event. The mosaic combines all the photos that were taken with the photo booth as well as any additional photos by the wedding photographer that the couple want to have incorporated. Using mosaic software our design team can create a treasured keepsake that can be framed on a wall as a reminder of the special day. This option will be mailed to the couple after the wedding.
Wedding Photo Booth for Different Venues
Choosing the right photo booth for a wedding depends on what style of photos, videos, GIFs or boomerangs the couple wants to have to document the important day and what type of venue they are using.
Inside Vs Outside
When the weather is fantastic, an interactive outdoor photo booth can create a real buzz at a wedding. The laughter and joy of seeing friends and family experimenting with different shots is magnetic to other guests. It offers a lively and sociable focal point that will have guests laughing and joking throughout the celebrations.
Most of our photo booths can be set up outside as long as the space and power supply are sufficient. The perfect location outdoors is stationed under a shelter, on a flat and solid surface.
If the weather forecast predicts rain, high winds, or other extreme conditions the photo booth must be indoors so it is good to have a choice for both if the weather is unpredictable.
How Much Space is Required?
Some couples want to attract crowds of wedding guests to the photo booth to get lots of group photos. Depending on the space, our open-air booths offer more space for wedding guests to pose. The booths can be visually stunning with backdrops such as the premium flower walls or they can be fully customized by our team to have the new names of the married couple. The more space that the booth has, the more guests can fit into a photo.
For wedding venues that don’t have so much space for a photo booth, our team can set up a booth in a smaller area with more privacy. This is sometimes more enjoyable for shyer guests. More enclosed spaces usually offer more consistent lighting conditions and therefore slightly better-quality photos. The minimum required space for a standard photo booth is 8ftx8ft.
