(03:23):
Today's edition is all about photobooths.
Yes, it is photo booths and howthey create fun and an interactive
experience for your guests.
Look, people love to takepictures and have a lot of fun.
Not everyone is going to be on thedance floor, so this is something that's
going to entertain them by doing thesilliest pictures, they have little
competitions, so much fun, strikinga pose, using hilarious props, and
(03:47):
just having a great time doing it.
I've noticed now that whenever my coupleshave photo booth, it keeps the energy
level high throughout the reception.
People are always going back and forththroughout the wedding reception, from
the dance floor back to the photo booth.
It really complements the dancing.
And also, if you have it open duringthe dinner, it's a great way to
(04:10):
supplement the gaps in between servicethat your guests can go backwards
and forwards to the photo booth.
Just a reminder, you can alsojoin us on our YouTube channel.

Photobooths provide instant keepsakesthat guests can take home with them.
(04:35):
Now, it's unlike the digital picturesthat you get on your cameras that are
typically buried in the photo galleries.
A photo strip is typicallyprinted three or four different
images that are tangible.
Your guests get to take them back totheir table and then home, and it is
something that they want to show off.
(04:55):
Something that photo booth vendorsuse is logos, dates, themes, whatever
it is to personalize that strip.
It makes it an instantand unique keepsake.
I find that many of our couplesreally like the idea how it captures
candid, unscripted moments, thateven the photographer just can't be
(05:17):
there for, and they're going to miss.
While professional photographers,they focus on the big moments.
The photo booth allows to capture thefun, the spontaneous side of the wedding.
From Goofy poses to heartfelt groupshots, the booth documents a different
perspective of the celebration.
This is also important.
The couple need to getinvolved in the photo booth.
(05:39):
Yes.
Many couples forget to go in thephoto booth, and this is where
these unscripted moments happen.
So if you're having a photo booth, makesure you go, enjoy it, take lots of
pictures with your friends, and be silly.
We've just explained how photo boothscreate fun and interactive experiences,
how they provide keepsakes for yourguests, and capture those candid moments.
(06:03):
Up next, how to customize yourphoto booth, incorporated theme
props, customizing your photo stripsand consider branding elements.

it's that time.
It's my favorite segment.
It's Wedding Tip Wednesday.
If your spouse says they'll do something.
Then they will!.
There's no need to remind themevery six to seven months.
Right.
On today's Wedding Tip Wednesday,Don't hesitate to inquire.
(06:49):
This is something very important.
So that I always say to, my couples,you should feel comfortable having
an open discussion with yourwedding vendors about your desires.
Their role is to inform youabout what's feasible and what
isn't within your wedding.
This is very important because sometimesyou think anything can be done, but the
professionals have been there, seen that,done that, and they can give you an honest
(07:11):
opinion if they think it could be done.
And that's another weddingtip from Sal and Sam.

Welcome back to our discussion.
Elevating your wedding with aphoto booth, making memories last.
I'm Sal from After HoursEvents in New England.
Earlier in the show, we talked aboutthe energy photo booths bring to any
(08:20):
event and how they perfectly capturethose spontaneous unscripted moments
Now, let's bring the conversationto customizing your photobooth.
There are different things that youcan do, so check with your photobooth
vendor, but I know when we use ourphotobooths, there are different backdrops
that go with different wedding themes.
(08:43):
You can have a floral wall, shimmeringsequence, different color background.
Yeah, black is not the onlybackground that you can have.
The right background and backdropwill enhance the aesthetics of your
wedding and make those photos lookeven better than they actually are.
Something else you could add tothat backdrop is having your name.
(09:05):
It could be a neon or itcould be made out of wood.
And this is something that'sin every picture that is taken.
And now your guests know exactly wherethey were when that great moment happened.
Now we talked about howimportant a backdrop is.
Now let's talk about incorporatingtheme props for added fun.
You want to have props that kind of fitthe theme that you've planned for your
(09:26):
wedding, either it be fairytale or it maybe more of a vintage rustic type of thing.
There's different props for everydifferent, photo booth out there.
So you want to do a little research.
It's not just thesunglasses and funny hats.
It's so much more.
There's so many waysto have fun with this.
So do your research.
Look at all the different vendorsout there and see which one has a
(09:48):
booth that fits your style and yourtheme and have fun at your wedding.
Something I want to remind everyone.

And now on to customizing thosephoto strips with names, dates,
hashtags, and anything else.
(10:10):
Yes, those strips that come out,don't just have to have your names.
With many of the modern photo booths,you can have the wedding date, a unique
hashtag, some saying, and also remember.
You can only have just your name.
You don't have to have all of thisfancy stuff sometimes just something
(10:30):
plain and simple is what yourguests need to remember the event.
Whichever way you do it.
Remember you can customize whateveryou need on that photo strip.
Something else to consideris branding elements for a
cohesive wedding experience.
If you have special colors, ascheme, or you want monogram, carry
(10:52):
it over to your photo booth design.
A monogram also could be usedon those strips if you like.
Finally, in my experience and thatexperience is we have rented over
a thousand booths over our timehere with our company, and we've
always found it to be a fantasticaddition to any wedding, offering
fun and interactive way for guests tocelebrate and create a lasting memory.
(11:14):
Keep in mind, three out of fiveweddings are still using photo booths.
So this is something youstrongly want to consider.
They provide instant entertainment,personalized keepsake, and a unique way
to capture the joy of your special day.
So, there you have it.
We've just provided some insider tips onelevating your wedding with a photo booth.
