Photo Booth

[Krista_H]

So I was at a wedding this weekend and am totally stealing a great idea they had.

 

Somewhere in the room the photographer sets up a background (this one used photo paper - on a big roll). There is a table of props - they used boas, hats, stick-on mustaches, etc. People grab probs and have their pictures taken - couples, groups, etc.

 

Now I'm torn - do I use this idea and NOT put cameras on the table. I think table cameras might be too much and might end up costing more than the photo booth. Thoughts?

We set up our own photo booth. All you need is a tripod, a camera with a remote and a way to make sure that people don't move the camera.

 

I like these high quality photos much better than the table cameras, and yes, they are much cheaper. I'll post a link to our photobooth pictures when I get home tonight.

we are having an ahr with photographer and she is going to do the usual family friends shots then do the photo booth thing with props.did the guests enjoy it?

Yes it was a lot of fun. Once they got into it the pictures got fun and crazy.

I've seen LOTS of photo booths at weddings and I absolutely love them! I agree, you probably won't need the table cameras AND the photo booth, so I'd stick with just one or the other if I were you.

Hmmm....I thought we had more of our photobooth pictures on flickr. Here are a few.

I LOVE the photobooth idea. I'm personally not a fan of the cameras on the tables. From what I've experienced in the past (from my brothers and sisters weddings) the majority of those pictures were usually junk. I think you'd get way better pictures with the photobooth. That's just my opinion. Good luck

I have never seen the table cameras work out nicely. Most people have a point & shoot digital camera with them anyway. You usually just end up with rolls & rolls of bad pictures espcially if it's dark. I just got the digital files from all of our guests. Some people mailed me a disc, some uploaded them & other I burnt copies of while home.

a photobooth might be hard to do for a DW. The set up would be a lot to fly with.

 

I've seen other cute things like a photo guest book. I can't remember who posted it, but their photographer took pictures of guests holding up a marker board with something they wrote on it.

i love the idea of a photo booth over cameras on the table. just seems more fun. in my experience with the camera at the table...one person gets a hold of it and wastes all the film.
