5 Creative Ways to Reinvent the Wedding Photo Booth

Hashtags, geotags, personal tags - these are the modern ways that guests commemorate their time at weddings in the digital world.

But, there’s just something special about an instant photograph, and what better way to take these types of photos than in a photo booth. They perfectly capture a moment as it happens and the photos can still be posted to social media if that’s a concern for guests. A lot of photo booths now even have the option to email yourself a copy of the photos that you take in the booth. Whether you’re trying to navigate the tricky business of technology at your wedding or simply want a fun way to entertain guests at your reception, a photo booth can be so much more interesting than a cloth backdrop and a good camera. If you’re looking for some photo booth inspo, check below for five creative ways you can reinvent the photo booth at your wedding!

Photo Bus

Buses and vans aren’t just for driving! Renting a retro VW Volkswagen bus brings a vintage aesthetic to your reception and is a two for one special. Of course, the inside of the buses are decked out with props and backdrops, but the outside can also serve as a photo-op for guests. There’s no doubt that your guests will be crowding around this photo booth all night long!

Storybook

Happily ever after starts now, so why not incorporate that into your photos! Design a life-size storybook backdrop for your guests to take a picture in front of. It can include an excerpt from your favorite fairytale or you can share a little bit of your own love story for guests to read. Either way, it can bring a little bit of fairytale magic to your reception!

Classic

You can never go wrong with a classic photo booth! Whether you go for a more retro or modern exterior, all of your guests will recognize it and how to operate it. If you want to have a fun addition to the photo booth, include a prop table next to your booth with everything from speech bubbles to feather boas for guests to take in the booth with them.

Selfie Guest Book

Signing guest books are so 1999 - instead, opt for a photo guest book! Set up a table at the entrance of your reception with a guest book, a marker, some tape, and of course a polaroid or instant camera. This way, guests can mark their presence at your wedding celebration and have a keepsake to take home. You can even set up multiple stations like this around your reception so guests can take polaroids throughout the celebration!

Themed Set Up

If you’re having a themed wedding, whether it’s the 1950s or traveling, you can set up a photo booth that ties into your theme. Set up a “passport” station, create a living room in the middle of a field reception, or hang records from trees. Create a unique photo-op that only guests at your wedding would be able to recall for a one-of-a-kind wedding experience.
