Photo booths are a great way to capture memories and have fun at any event. Everyone loves donning the silly props and standing in front of a beautiful background to remember the event day.
Whether you’re hosting a wedding, birthday party, or corporate event, a photo booth can be a great addition to the festivities. However, there are a few tips to keep in mind to ensure your booth is a success.
Choose the right vendor (and items)
The right vendor will have all the right equipment. They’ll have a good quality camera/machine, a printer, a backdrop, and fun props. Your vendor should also ensure that you have a good lighting setup. Good lighting will make your photos look great and will help your guests look their best. You can use natural light or set up appropriate lighting around the photo booth. Vendors will also often be able to create custom photo strips and backdrops for your individual event. It’s a great way to add an extra touch!
Check your space
Make sure that your venue has enough space for the photo booth. You’ll need enough room for your guests to line up and to take their photos. Be sure to ask your vendor for photo booth measurements ahead of time, and compare those to the venue’s spacing. You need to be sure you still have enough room for the rest of your setup, such as all tables, staging, dance floors, etc.
Designate staff
You’ll need someone to help your guests with the photo booth, and to make sure everything runs smoothly. From lining up to helping with photo strip distribution, things can get backed up at a large event. Sometimes your vendor will bring an assistant for this, or you may need your venue coordinator to step in as well. Make sure to incorporate this task into your timeline, and ensure that everyone knows their role for the event ahead of time.
Choose the right vibe & feel
Some events and weddings are more luxurious, some are more casual, and some are more corporate in nature. By customizing personal touches like your photo booth, you bring more of this personalization into your event, making it feel even more special. Your photo booth should match this feel and aesthetic! Work with your vendor to capture this vibe in your booth.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your photo booth is a success. With the right equipment, props, space, staff, and lighting, your guests will have a great time taking photos and creating memories.
