Add an interactive element for your guests so that they can personally create a memento for you! Banish away those disposable cameras and here is why:
- Most of your friends now have digital cameras which makes sharing so much easier.
- The quality of disposable camera photos are poor (did you know the flash on those cameras are only good for 2-3 feet?)
- By the time you buy those cameras, process the film, and make multiple copies, it could be quite costly. You are better off using the money towards your professional photography.
- It doesn’t make a very big impact on the overall experience of the event.
Polaroid guest books are also really popular and I’ve seen guests have a lot of fun with them. Well, here is another alternative: photo booths! Yes, the old mall staple is back!
Photo Booth Scrapbooks: This is a classic photo booth and the rental comes with unlimited photos, setup, breakdown, onsite technician, and a scrapbook. This one does black & white photos only, which is great for a retro feel. They say they are local but I haven’t figured out where they are located.
Digital Photo Booth from Talk of the Town Variety Entertainment: This company is based in Rockville. A pretty standard photo booth. What’s cool: custom logo insertion in 1 of the picture frames (add’l charge).
Poshbooth.com: This is a digital photo booth based in Northern Virginia company that delivers free within the metro DC area. What’s cool: web hosting of photos, hi res CD of images, customize logo or name on the outside of the booth (extra charge).
Classic Photo Booth: This is an old fashion photo booth like the ones you would see in the mall back in the day. Does color or B&W photos and free scrapbook.
Snapshot Studio brought to you by Love Life Images Photography: OK this isn’t a photo booth but similar idea. A digital camera is setup somewhere with a back drop. You take the remote control, ham it up, and click! I’ve seen it in action and it is so much fun!
