Types of Wedding Photo Booths (and Which One Suits Your Day)
Types of Wedding Photo Booths (and Which One Suits Your Day)
One size does not fit all, especially when it comes to modern photo booth setups. When booking in the UK or Canada, you’ll usually see a few core options:
Classic Enclosed Photo Booth
The “sit‑inside” booth with curtains or panels. Great for:
-
Smaller groups at a time
-
Guests who like a bit of privacy for sillier photos
-
Traditional printed strips and templates
Enclosed booths remain popular in the UK and across Canada because they feel familiar and nostalgic, yet can still be customised with modern overlays and branding.
Open Air Photo Booth
A camera and lighting setup in front of a backdrop, with guests standing in the open rather than inside an enclosed box.
Open air booths:
-
Work brilliantly in UK barns, marquees, city lofts, and Canadian hotel ballrooms
-
Handle larger group shots easily
-
Are ideal when you want the booth to be a visible part of the party
Magic Mirror Photo Booth
A full‑length interactive mirror that doubles as a camera and touchscreen. Guests can see themselves, add digital signatures, and enjoy on‑screen prompts.
Magic mirrors:
-
Look stylish in modern hotels and chic urban venues
-
Encourage full‑body shots (wedding outfits, kilts, lehengas, black tie, etc.)
-
Are perfect if you want the booth to feel like a design feature as well as entertainment
360 Photo Booth
Guests stand on a small platform while a camera arm rotates around them to capture slow‑motion video clips. These setups are growing quickly in both the UK and Canadian markets as couples look for something different.
360 booths:
-
Are extremely shareable on social media
-
Need a bit more space around the platform
-
Often sit in a higher price tier due to gear, staffing, and editing
