Having a Memorable Wedding Photo Booth Experience
Wedding days are truly special occasions, especially when it’s you and your significant other’s turn. That’s why having a photo booth is important to have during the reception to capture the happy faces and heartfelt messages of your guests without the shyness some people feel in front of your actual wedding phtoographer. But what exactly can make your photo booth truly memorable?
This article will discuss three practical tips to make certain that you can look back at your wedding day and say you and your guests had a memorable wedding photo booth experience. Take this as an opportunity to plan for your big day well by looking into the important services. This way, you and your future spouse can look forward to the success and excitement of your wedding!
3 Tips to Having a Memorable Wedding Photo Booth Experience
1. Ensure the setup, management, and removal are all taken care of
You definitely don’t want to be stressed on your special day, meaning you don’t want to go through the trouble of setting up and repacking the photo booth. After all, it’s your wedding day, and your first moments as a newly married couple should be spent in celebration. You also don’t want to burden your guests with these tasks.
As such, find a wedding photo booth provider that will set up, manage, and pack up the photo booth for you. Doing this lets you have one less thing to worry about and focus more on making wonderful memories with your guests. You may even have the chance to join them at the photo booth!
What I tend to do at weddings with my own photo booth is set up at the venue prior to heading to the groom’s place of preparation – that way it’s ready to go as soon as the reception starts. Then I just pack it up at the end of the night.
2. Designate a time in the program for pictures and socialising
You can have the best wedding photo booth in the world, but it can all go to waste if there’s not enough time during the reception for picture taking. It will just be a huge inconvenience for you and your guests, plus you will just be wasting money. That’s why it’s recommended to at least have some time dedicated to the photo booth and other wedding festivities.
To ensure everyone has time to try the booth, you should count the number of guests attending and the duration of your reception. All you need to do is have a portion of your reception not dedicated to anything else – it doesnt have to be ‘NOW EVERYONE TO THE PHOTOBOOTH!’ Just a time where there are no speeches, meals being served and whatnot. Also make sure everyone knows it’s there by asking your MC to mention that you’d like everyoneo use it!
This way, everyone can come home with their own photos to remember your special day!
3. Ask the photo booth provider how guests will receive pictures
The standard function of every photo booth is to offer patrons a chance to take photos with their friends and family and print them out as their keepsakes. There are even times when you can get the digital copy of the photos afterwards, allowing you and your group to download them and post them on social media.
All these expectations may be something you and your guests want from your wedding photo booth. So make sure to ask your provider how everyone will receive their photos. Ideally, you want something that they can print out and also download online to ensure they can get their memorabilia!
Generally my own photobooth will take 4 photos of the guests and print out a strip in duplicate. The idea beaing that one guests can keep as a keepsake from your wedding, and the other gets stuck into a photobooth guestbook or put into the wishing well.
Having a photo booth at your wedding can be a meaningful way for your guests to interact with one another and have a good time. You can now make the experience more memorable as long as you remember all the previously mentioned tips to having a mamorable wedding photo booth experience. So start your planning phase and book all the necessary services to ensure everything runs smoothly on your big day!

Stephanie and Gino held their Currant Shed wedding ceremony on a wonderfully sunny day almost an exact year later than what they planned to due to the unfortunate events of COVID – but you wouldnt know it! Stephanie and Gino were all smiles all day, and super keen on sharing their big day with all the family and friends who made the trip down to Mclaren Flat for their delightful Curant Shed Wedding!
Currant Shed Wedding Ceremony
Stephanie and Gino were both prepared at the on-site bed and breakfast that was conveniently a stone’s throw away from the Currant shed’s restaurant and cellar door which was where they held their ceremony.
The area is a lovely grassy field, surrounded by small fruit trees which provided for a lush, green backdrop to their sun-lit wedding ceremony. Their ceremony was a lovely, simple affair with a reading or two conduceted by friends, while the ring bearer and flower girl were sons and daughters – which was a nice way to include them too.
The entire time leading up to the ceremony, and directly after was very laid back, punctuated by a nifty band who marched about the place after the ceremony. All throughout the family photos, all the guests were relaxing and enjoying the nice weather while sipping on the Currant Shed’s delectible drinks.
Currant Shed Wedding Glamour Photos
For glamour photos we went for a bit of a walk up and around the Currant Shed’s grounds towards the nearby Shottesbrooke Winery making use of the Australian bush scenery and backdrop of vineyards – although not being actually allowed in them, so we avoided that.
the liught was dying ever so nicely behind some clouds towards the end of the day which made for some great subtle light seeping in though the trees of the driveway which was absolutely awesome!
Thanks a bunch Gino and Stephanie for having me as your wedding photographer at your Currant Shed wedding! Hope you enjoy your photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
Claire and Jacob held a super secret Kangaroo Island Elopement unbeknownst to all their family and friends except for their witnesses! From the moment I met with Claire and Jacob I knew their elopement was going to be a special one, and it certainly turned out to be a fantastic day starting from sunrise on pennashw’s beach, up to Cape Willoughby Lighthouse before finally heading to Pennington bay for their elopement ceremony.
Morning Photoshoot
We began the day at the crack of dawn – hoping for a stunning sunrise to illuminate the sky behind the lovely rocks at Frenchman’s rock. Unfortunately that wasn’t to be with a rather overcast beginning to the morning, we made use of the rock formations anyway, before finally slivers of the sunrise revealed itself towards the end of our time there.
As a result Claire and Jacob’s Kangaroo Island elopement photoshoot began by getting our feet wet a bit, which in my books is the best way to start a day of photo taking! Next stop was scaling cliffs near the Cape Willoughby Lighthouse!
Before heading out to the lighthouse however, we made use of the nearby Sculpture trail on Penneshaw beach to take some shots within some of the sculputes and on the lovely suspension bridge cutting across the gully.
The last time I was on Kangaroo Island before Claire and Jacob’s kangaroo island elopement was about 10 years prior, and I had just got into photography then. I ventured out this way myself hoping to capture some stunning landscapes and of course I did so – but that trip allowed me to remember some amazing spots bewteen Penneshaw and Cape Willoughby – including tree lines dirt roads and grass along the sides of some roads! made sure we made use of them.
Our time at the Cape Willoughby Lighthouse was the moment I was most looking forward to before heading out for Claire and Jacob’s elopement. I remembered there was an amazing winding road leading to the lighthouse itself, and also some stunningly tall cliffs whcih I was keen to ask Claire and Jacob to scale for photos! I was lucky they were keen to do so! Not since Georgia in Hobart had I seen a bride so willing to run around on rocks in her wedding dress before the ceremony!
It was absolutely marvellous despite viewing the footage my wife took after the fact and realising how high the cliffs under us really were!
Kangaroo Island Elopement Ceremony
Claire and Jacob’s Kangaroo Island Elopement ceremony took place on a little secluded beach, surrounded by cliffs nearby the beautiful Pennington Bay. This secluded location allowed for minimal wind to interrupt the ceremony and it made for a lovely, intimate ceremony.
Pennington Bay Glamour Shoot
The waters around Pennington bay is beatifully clear and shallow enough so that Claire and Jacob could wade out a bit for some photos, so of course I made them do so! The scenery just called for another round of wading so we certainly made use of it all!
Thanks so much to Claire and Jacob for having me as your wedding/elopement photographer I know some of the things I asked you do do for the shot wasnt easy, but I am so grateful you gavClaire and Jacob held a super secret Kangaroo Island Elopement on the pristine sands of Pennington Bay after scaling cliffs and getting wet!e me the opportunity to take some amazing shots!
Display your wedding photography
Weddings are beautiful ceremonies that celebrate the union between two people madly in love. From the day you got engaged all the way down to the day itself, you and your partner are most likely caught up in a whirlwind of love and preparation, even if you are the most organised person in the world! There are many beautiful wedding venues in Adelaide and all over Australia, so wherever you got married, it was surely a lovely affair.
Here’s a new chapter after the wedding whirlwind: settling into your life together. Of course, moving into a home together involves a lot of decor, and once you get your wedding photos back, you’ll want to put them on display somehow. The traditional way is to put them all in a photo album or place them in beautiful frames on your wall. However, there are also other options that are more fun, playful and quirky which are worth considering.
Ways to display your wedding photography
Whether your style is more traditional or modern, there’s definitely a creative way to display your photos. Here are some ideas to creatively display your wedding photography:
Customise the Photo Album
More than half of couples wind up buying a photo album from the wedding photographer they booked for their big day. If that’s the case with you, then work hand-in-hand with them to make sure you get a gorgeous timeline put together. You can also discuss how the photo album itself will look from colour and cover to style and more. No matter what you ultimately decide on, it’s the best way to get as many photos as possible in one place. Make your cover pop and let it double as a centrepiece for your coffee table!
When I develop my wedding albums, I ask my couples what phtoos they’d like printed within their book, and when asked to produce a large deluxe book we often get together and design the whole thing together! It can be a lot of fun!
Shelf Display
Most people place pictures on a shelf, which is arguably the most traditional style of placing photos on display. The symmetry that is found in wall displays levels up with shelves, into organised symmetry. Mix things up by having photos printed in various sizes and orientations (landscape and portrait). Look into getting an assortment of frames to really get that eclectic vibe going.
Stone or Wood Prints
While generally found in beachy, bohemian home decor, these prints are a classic touch to any home environment. It could also be a fun DIY art bonding experience for you two as a couple. However, if you don’t have the time, you can outsource the work and get it done that way.
Arylic Prints
As far as displays go, prints mounted to acrylic would have to be one of the most modern ways to display your wedding photography. The Acrylic itself allows for a sense of 3 dimensions when viewing a print mounted this way. From mounting photos on flat pieces to hang on the wall, to huge blocks to display on desks or tabletops, these displays can add a touch of luxe to a modern setting.
Wall Display
A cluster of photos displayed on your wall may seem traditional, but it’s actually a versatile style. Separate frames arranged in some sort of symmetrical display or in a pattern. If you don’t feel like using frames, get canvas prints! They can be displayed in much the same way. You can experiment with various styling options according to your taste.
Your wedding will likely be one of the most photographed events in your lifetime, between your official photographers and the smartphones of family and friends. That works out well since you want to be able to immortalise the memories from that special day. However you choose to display your wedding photography, there’s sure to be a style out there that suits you.
