booth. My guide to making your wedding perfect!
Not all photo booths are the same, and the style you choose should match your wedding aesthetic.
Open-air photo booths – modern, spacious, great for group shots.
Enclosed booths – retro, intimate, and fun.
GIF + Boomerang booths – perfect for high-energy, trendy weddings.
Mirror booths – interactive and elegant.
360 video booths – stunning slow-motion, glam-style footage.
Make sure the style fits your vibe and your venue layout.
Look for a business that is constantly reinvesting in their business. 
If you are booking years in advance, make sure they are actively updating
their photo booths and offerings.
his is one of the biggest differences between cheap providers and professional ones.
A high-quality wedding photo booth should include:
DSLR or high-resolution cameras
Professional lighting
A strong flash for crisp photos
Clean, bright, flattering images
If the photos look blurry, dark, 
or grainy in examples, that’s a red flag.
We use DSLR cameras and Godox Flash’s for our booths to ensure the photo quality is top tier every time. Your photo strips are great, but the digital copies need to be excellent quality for reprinting later.
Your backdrop plays a huge role in how your photos look. Check:
Variety of backdrop options (sequin walls, shimmer walls, florals, custom designs)
Whether custom colours or themes are available
Clean, high-quality props (not tacky or damaged)
If you can choose a backdrop that matches your wedding décor
A beautiful backdrop elevates the entire experience and your final gallery. Ask if they would consider purchasing exactly what you are looking for if they don’t have that style already. We discuss your event theme and purchase props in your colours and style. Ensuring your event photos look perfect!

Earlier this year, I attended a wedding at Caves Beach that changed everything for me. Among all the planning, styling, and details, one unexpected highlight stood out: the photo booth . It didn’t matter whether it was kids, grandparents, or the bridal party — everyone got involved. The laughter, the posing, the genuine fun…it was contagious.
