When you plan your wedding, you’re not just working on writing the next chapter of your love story, but you are also crafting an experience for your guests. Everything from the catering to the music is a way to invite your favorite people to share this major moment with you. So, when you’re trying to make sure things feel extra memorable, you want to find plenty of photo ops. With a photo booth, your guests will spend time making unique memories you can share together for years. They may even capture some blackmail material.
As a Dallas-Fort Worth photographer & videographer, I adore working with couples to make sure they can remember their celebrations. That’s why one of the services I offer is a photo booth. Here’s everything you need to know about booking DFW photo booths from Mentopia Weddings!
How Can DFW Photo Booths From Mentopia Weddings Elevate Your Wedding Memories?
What is a Photo Booth?
Okay, so first, let’s chat about what a DFW photo booth can be. Everybody probably has memories of piling into a cramped stall at a movie theater or a mall so they can take snapshots to remember that moment. With a wedding photo booth, you keep the heart of this experience with candid, silly photos your guests can snap themselves. At the same time, wedding photo booths tend to be on a bigger scale than those $5 photo stalls. First off, it tends to be a bit more formal.
With a wedding photo booth, you will have a designated spot at either your cocktail hour or your reception where your guests can catch a break in the midst of all the partying to make some memories. You can ditch those cheap greenscreen backgrounds in favor of a backdrop that matches your decor, be it a greenery wall or a simple curtain. Next, we figure out how to take these pictures. In the past, this typically involved a stationary photographer who spent the night camped out in front of the booth. These days, you have several options, including touchscreen cameras that let your guests do it all by themselves. From there, you will have several delivery options, so you can hang onto these pics forever.
How Can You Personalize Photo Booths For Your Wedding?
One of my favorite things about a photo booth is how much you can customize it in DFW. First off, this is your chance to go all out with your decor. Think of your photo booth as the accent wall for your wedding. Maybe you want to add a neon sign or go all out with your flowers. Or, maybe you want to add a majestic balloon arch rich with your colors. The only thing limiting you here is your imagination!
Next, you can add props that let you celebrate your day. You can incorporate a letter board with your names and the wedding date or have cutouts of yourselves that your guests can use. Yes, it might sound a little odd, but I promise, the results are pretty darn adorable! You can also use this as an opportunity to include your passions or your hobbies. You can add gear from your favorite sports teams, props of your favorite foods, or souvenirs you’ve collected from your travels.
When you’re planning your photo booth, be sure to include the style of your wedding. If you are going for something upscale and luxe, you probably don’t want a lot of clashing, brash colors that will stand out. If your wedding is a bit more rustic, something like a pallet wall works well with cowboy-themed props. For a vintage-inspired wedding, you can include books, old-school cameras, and even a classic car if your event is outdoors. Have fun with it! This is going to be one of the key features of your wedding, so you might as well make it as memorable as possible.
