The Latest Craze at Weddings

Why you should you have a photo booth at your wedding…

This year I’ve attended close to 10 weddings so far. What did 7 out of those ten weddings have in common? They all had an interactive photo booth. Yup, those photo booths once stuck in malls or movie theaters, are now making their debuts at weddings. <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.cliquesphotobooth.com”>Cliques Photo Booth</a>,  in particular has done a number of wedding this year, and will be doing more in 2010.

So, what’s all the fuss about?

Well, for starters, a photo booth is affordable.  Your average photo booth costs around ,300 for 4 hours of unlimited snapping and printing. Some range as low as 0 and others as high as ,500.  Somewhere between 300-500 photos can be printed out during your wedding event.  

They’re entertaining. How many weddings have you gone to and thought, “Gee, I’m bored. I wish there was something to do than just sitting around..” This is when your guests can be kids all over again and grab their friends, family and really go all out, laugh and make funny faces as many times as they want. A really good photo booth company will provide costumes and props to play dress up in. This get’s really fun after their 5th drink or so.

A photo booth provides a great ice breaker. Sometimes a line can form. While your guests wait, this is a perfect opportunity to talk to someone they don’t know.  They can ask questions like, “What do you think of the photo booth?” Or, “What are you going to wear?” Also, you never know who will grab them to take a picture with. Again, this is another great opportunity to say, “That was fun, what’s your name?” Believe me, I’ve experienced it. A photo booth scenario provides the perfect ice breaker.

How many weddings have you attended, and how many times have you been photographed by the wedding photographer?  Have you ever seen those photos, let alone received one?… probably not.  A photo booth allows guests to leave the wedding with something they can hold on to forever, and keep on their  refrigerators and desks. Your friends and family can look at their photos and think about how fun your wedding was. It’ll bring a smile to their day.

Speaking of wedding photographers, a photo booth can relieve a lot of stress from a wedding photographer trying to capture fun, candid moments. Back in June of 2009, we set up a photo booth for <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://http://www.cliquesphotobooth.com/2009/06/heather-and-abes-wedding/”>Heather and Abe’s wedding</a>. By the middle of the party, the event photographer came up to us and said that she was thankful, making her job a lot easier. She loved what we were doing and wanted to blog about our company. How could we say no.  

Dare to be different! Some people who just can’t afford a wedding photographer and a photo booth end up just going for the photo booth because they want something unique, fun, entertaining and still capture the party.  The majority of <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.cliquesphotobooth.com”>Cliques Photo Booth’s</a> clients are simply looking for something different that they’ve never seen or experienced at past weddings. They’re tired of seeing and doing (or not doing) the same stuff over and over.

So the next time you’re at a wedding, don’t be surprised to see a photo booth. If not, this is your calling card to be different and have one at yours!
