Having a photo booth at your wedding can be one of the most fun and memorable thing to do at your wedding day
As long as your photo booth is well designed, it’s definitely going to be one of you and your guest cherished memory of your big day
Here are five creative ways to use your photo booth and make it even more fun to have
1. Turn It Into a Guestbook Station
You can turn your photo booth to a guestbook stations by setting up a next to your booth where your guests can stick their photo strips in a scrapbook and leave you a handwritten note. It’s interactive, personal, and something you’ll actually enjoy flipping through after the wedding.
2. Capture Sweet (or Hilarious) Video Messages
wishes, advice, or spontaneous reactions throughout the night.
This is especially meaningful if you have a large guest list including loved ones you have not seen in a long time and may not to spend much time with on the day
Not everyone gets a chance to give a formal speech but a video message lets them leave a heartfelt moment just for you
A video memory reel of your favorite people, in their element? Priceless
3. Mini Interview Booth: Let Your Guests Tell a Story
San Diego has a reputation for sunshine and for good reason but not all months are created equal.
Spring and fall are ideal for outdoor weddings, offering mild temperatures and fewer tourists. Summer brings sunshine but also crowds and peak pricing.
And if you’re picturing fog-free coastal photos, know that “May Gray” and “June Gloom” are very real and they sometimes stretch into July. This doesn’t mean your day won’t be beautiful, but it’s worth noting if golden-hour light or clear ocean views are part of your vision.
Tip: Ask your venue how they handle weather surprises and plan with flexibility.
4. Use It as a Live Hashtag Wall or Slideshow
Want your wedding hashtag to actually get used? Set up your booth with a live projection screen or hashtag feed.
As guests take photos, they can instantly upload them using your wedding hashtag, and you can display a rotating gallery throughout the reception. It adds an interactive and visual element that keeps the energy up and gives everyone a reason to share their favorite snaps.
5. Design Take-Home Keepsakes
Photo strips are great but you can also turn those moments into thoughtful take-home mementos.
From mini magnets to framed photo cards, or even thank-you notes with a booth snap from the night, your booth prints can double as favors.
You can turn these to into keychains, Polaroid walls, or even custom fridge magnets that guests keep long after the last dance.
6. Prop Challenge Game
You can create a mini challenge around your photo booth props (e.g. “Make the funniest face with the top hat and boa”) and have guests submit entries. You can even offer a small prize for the most hilarious combo
