6 Reasons Why You Need a Photobooth at Your Wedding
Of the many event activations out there for the taking, a photobooth is definitely one of the picks that we recommend you don’t miss out on.
A photobooth is a mobile station that is set up in a pre-agreed corner of your reception venue on the day itself. The set-up consists of a professional camera, an aesthetically pleasing backdrop, an umbrella light, and a high-quality printer that will immediately churn out pristine copies of the freshly taken photographs.
Here are some steps you’ll need to take in booking your photobooth:
- Select a top-rated photobooth vendor. For your Sydney wedding, choose Candid Snaps, one of the best photobooth hires in the business. Established in 2017, Candid Snaps boasts studio-grade lighting and a professional DLSR camera, classy backdrops, and personalized photo layouts that reflect the theme of your wedding.
- Choose a location for the photobooth set-up. With the help of your venue contact and wedding coordinator, figure out where the photobooth will be stationed. If your venue is on the more intimate side, you’ll need to consider this carefully as it should not get in the way of the reception program.You want guests to have easy access to the photobooth without interrupting the flow of movement around the venue. Plus, in the case of an outdoor reception, your coordination team needs to prepare a plan B in case of rain—we can’t have the photbooth equipment getting wet!
- Coordinate with Candid Snaps on the layout of your printouts. The Candid Snaps team can create the perfect layout according to your preferences, taking into account the event label, font, photo orientation, and frame color.
Need a little more convincing? Below, we list five reasons why you need a photobooth at your wedding. Read on!
1. You’ll have no idle time at the wedding.
Wondering about what to do to avoid dead air during logistical transitions in your reception program? Don’t worry—a photobooth may be just the thing you need. Have your emcee call attention to the photobooth and invite guests to come over and get some snaps taken. Paired with music that sets the vibes, a photobooth will keep the fun going even during gaps in the official program.
2. You’ll have a secondary album of fun wedding photos in addition to your principal photo gallery.
Two standout packages from Candid Snaps include their guestbook and GIF booth. Their elegant embossed guestbook is a scrapbook where guests are invited to jot down sweet notes for the couple, and paste photobooth outputs from the reception. It’s such an adorable and precious keepsake! Plus, Candid Snaps offers a digital-only photobooth, which has an instant social share mechanism, and offers the option to include boomerangs.
Both packages are sweet deals that’ll create even more photographic memories for you to look back on as a couple.
3. The printouts are instant souvenirs!
Are you looking for a quick, easy souvenir that your guests will cherish and not end up tossing out? Well, photo printouts are your best bet! Guests will absolutely enjoy collecting their photos, and will instantly have something to remember your event by. Additionally, photos are way more meaningful and personal than most trinkets on the mass souvenir market. Keep it simple and sweet! Plus, the bookmark-sized photo strips by Candid Snaps are so handy, and can be used for scrapbooking, bookmarking, or as classic framed photos to go on the wall or on a tabletop.
4. They’ll be cherished by guests who are reuniting at your wedding.
In addition to being a celebration of the newlyweds, a wedding is a beautiful opportunity for families and friends to reunite. Think of your relatives abroad who’ll be seeing you guys again for the first time in years, or childhood friends getting to catch up with your siblings. New relationships will also be formed: family and friends from the bride’s side can finally get to meet those on the groom’s side. Both worlds are merged for a day, making it all the more vital to have an easy way to capture and store the memories!
5. Group selfies will never go missing!
In the flurry of action and high spirits, people are prone to taking quick selfies on someone’s phone and eventually misplacing the photo altogether, either by forgetting who took the photo, or by confusion on where or who it was sent to! While speedy selfies will be taken nonetheless, a photobooth is a total treat that takes off the pressure. Just line up for the photobooth, collect your printout, and trust that the digital gallery has the soft copy of your photo. It’ll never get lost!
