The Next Big Thing

Photobooths are quietly becoming the latest craze and hottest new trend in weddings.

If you’ve ever attended a wedding with a photobooth, then you already understand why they are becoming so popular. The resulting pictures they produce are always fun, sometimes hilarious and very often priceless.

But, the pictures are only part of the story. Photobooths, especially at a wedding reception, are SO MUCH FUN! The entertainment factor alone is a big part of their appeal. A wedding reception with a photobooth is usually a very memorable experience in and of itself.

The photobooth concept is nothing new. Invented in the 1920’s, vending machine style photobooths produced an automated and affordable portrait solution for the masses and exploded in popularity during World War II. Over the years, photobooths have remained popular despite huge advances in photography and significantly lower costs for everyday snap shooters. Why? The fun and intimacy of the automated photobooth experience is the reason. With no photographer to please, people are at liberty to produce images they like, making pictures that are amazingly fun, spontaneous, and a bit goofy sometimes, but often very touching.

The ultimate extension of the photobooth concept is achieved by combining digital photography technology and the internet, with the unique attributes of a wedding reception. Weddings are always enjoyable and festive occasions, but when you invite a large gathering of close friends and family to repeatedly enter a personal and very private automated portrait studio, the resulting pictures can be great, often leading to very memorable episodes. The ability to print the pictures moments after taking them is really what makes a photobooth so amusing at such an intimate event as a wedding. Guests quickly muster enough courage to share their newly created mementos, no matter how enthralling, with others. Thus, the excitement is usually ratcheted up a notch or two and games of oneupmanship are likely to ensue.

While a photobooth may not be the most inexpensive favor around, it is definitely not a keepsake that will be thrown away a few days after your wedding!
