Photo booths at weddings have been a growing trend since 2008 and continue to be popular in 2010. The Knot listed it as one of ten ways to add a “wow” factor to your wedding in 2009 and the photo booth once again made their list in 2010 as one of 10 Hot Wedding Trends of 2010.
We all remember the days when we would grab our pals and jump into the photo booth. We’d put our $2.00 in, stuff as many people as we could into the small curtained space and then ham it up for the camera as the booth took a series of pictures. We’d jump out and then eagerly await the black and white strip of instant memories to print right out into our sticky little fingers.
Now photo booths serve as a nostalgic reminder of our youth and give us a license to be silly again. Many couples want their wedding receptions to be fun and memorable for guests, and having a photo booth as part of the reception keeps guests entertained and engaged in the wedding.
In 2010 though, this isn’t your grandma’s photo booth. We’re talking souped up, over the top “booths” with creative backdrops, a myriad of props and wedding guests willing to cut loose in front of the camera. You never know what Aunt Edna will do until you put her into the photo booth and hand her a sombrero and a chalkboard.
Blush Imagery understands the demand for a more interesting, interactive Maine photo booth and our service provides you not only with a 10×10 “booth” but also with a photographer to work the camera and capture all the crazy moments that generally ensue when folks step into the Blush Booth. Check out some of our favorite images from recent Blush Imagery wedding photo booths:
Concerned that everyone else is doing a photo booth? The types of props you provide guests is totally up to you and is one way of making the photo booth your own. There are tons of themes for props. Pick and choose the ones that fit your personal: big geeky glasses, Hawaiian leis, chalk board and white board, boas, cowboy hats, sombreros, hula skirts, hula hoops, neon wigs, foam fingers, mustache on a stick, viking helmet, oversized lollipop, coconut bikini top, santa hat, halo, angel wings, tutu, black fedora, eyepatch, ball and chain, pirate hook, etc. Anything goes in the Blush Booth!
