Why a Photo Hunt?
A photo hunt transforms your event into a collaborative, exciting experience. Guests aren’t just spectators; they’re photographers on a mission to document every special detail! This concept makes everyone a part of the day, encouraging them to capture fun angles, heartfelt moments, and hilarious encounters. And the best part? Selfbooth simplifies everything by allowing guests to snap, scan a QR code, and instantly upload their shots, creating an easy-to-access photo album for you.
With so many weddings and events using traditional photographers, the photo hunt concept stands out. It offers a fresh, interactive layer, filling in the gaps where photographers might not reach and creating a rich gallery from the perspective of your friends and family. So, what are the best ways to set up an unforgettable photo hunt? Here’s how!
How to Set Up Your Own Photo Hunt
Kick off your photo hunt with some simple preparation and the magic of Selfbooth. First, make sure guests know about the hunt!
