11 REASONS TO HAVE A PHOTO BOOTH AT YOUR WEDDING

When it comes to choosing your photo booth hire in Melbourne the most popular and exciting entertainment idea for you and your guests is a wedding mirror photo booth. They’re a great talking point, just remember the mirror photo booth can talk to you as well. Not only will your wedding be remembered for being a fun and loving event, everyone will also have the photos from the mirror photo booth as their very own keepsake. The mirror photo booth is so addictive that you and your guests will keep coming back for more and more photos. At Mirror Photo Booth Events in Melbourne we have the ideal wedding props for the booth, and with over 1000 animations even the photo addicts will not see the same animation twice. Weddings often have not only the two sides getting together, but also family members of the same family who do not often catch up with each other. The magic mirror photo booth is a sure-fire way to get your guests mingling and having fun!  Guaranteed to take your wedding reception to the next level, here is 11 reasons to hire a Mirror photo booth for your wedding.

1) Guaranteed Photo Fun

Let’s face it, guests now expect a fantastic level of entertainment at a Wedding, and a mirror photo booth is number one for entertainment. The mirror booth does not take away from the wedding photography, but the booth has become such a staple over the past few years, and the trend is growing. Your guests can grab a prop (be it a wig, hat, pair of funky glasses or a themed sunstache face masks. Some of these are so iconic (my fave is Mario and Luigi! however there are lots including superman, batman, and a number of the Disney princess). Then jump into the view of the mirror photo booth and pose for up to 3 photos, all guided by an expert Booth Specialist. The prints your guests take home will forever immortalise your special day!

2) Instant Prints

Remember the Passport Photo Booths you used to use that took over a minute to print your photos? That level of technology simply wouldn’t cut it at modern events. At Mirror Photo Booth Events and Weddings Parties Entertainment we believe in providing a premium product. All of our prints are 4″ x 6″. Luckily, the technology has come on significantly, and you can now receive your prints in seconds. Depending on the package you want you can print either none (with our digital package, 2 (with our animated package) or more with our Premium Package.

3) Online Galleries

As well as producing extremely high-quality prints, we offer all our clients a secured online gallery as well as the physical service. These galleries upload the final template of your 3 photos, as well as a GIF of the 3 put together (assuming you have opted for a template with 3 pics). All your photos will be uploaded, within a few days of your event and can be viewed, downloaded and saved. The RAW photos are also uploaded to the gallery with a watermark for viewing, with the watermark being removed on purchase.

4) Social Sharing

As well as having an online Gallery for all your photos, why not consider our Premium service, were your guests receive prints on the night and an SMS text or email, which can then be upload to their choice of social options, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. This is highly recommended for events with over 200 wedding guests, as the queue to use the mirror photo booth can otherwise overflow and dampen the overall experience.

5) Customised Templates

As the technology behind photo booths has progressed, we’re finding that the software options available are providing more and more wonderful opportunities to customise the design of your experience. Customised or Branded templates are a brilliant example of this. At Mirror Photo Booth Events and Weddings Parties Entertainment we offer this service FREE of charge. This is all included in your client portal. You get to pick what you like and then all you need to do is simply sit back and let our design team come up with a first draft of your design. Things to consider are:

What text you would like on the prints (For Example: “Juanita & Mike’s Wedding”).

Whether you would like the text on the prints, as well as any sort of custom message.

Finally, whether you would like any stylistic elements or particular colour scheme to be part of the prints.

6) Wedding Guestbook

Guestbooks are simply a wonderful accompaniment to any wedding mirror photo booth experience. The way this works is simple. Your booth specialist will turn up with a standard or deluxe Guestbook (additional fees apply) and produce an additional print from each photo session to stick into the book (Not available in the Digital Package). They will then encourage the guests (who were in said photo) to leave a custom message to the Bride and Groom, next to their photo. These are a wonderful keepsake for the wedding couple.

7) Video Messaging

As well as hiring a booth that takes pictures and produces physical prints, and or electronically sends them, why not consider adding Video Messaging capabilities? The way this work is very simply. After guests have finished taking their photos, the booth specialist will ask if they would be interested in leaving a short, personalised video message to the Bride and Groom. These will then be collated and sent over to you usually within 4-5 working days.

*In order for these to work, you will need to make sure that the Photo Booth is not located in the same room as the DJ/Band, or any other source of loud volume – or you unfortunately won’t be able to hear the messages.

8) Mirror Photo Booths Are Great Babysitters

If your guest list includes kids at your next special occasion, namely a wedding, birthday party, anniversary, house party, engagement party, the baby gender reveal party, or corporate event (the list goes on) then this mirror photo booth in Melbourne will keep the kids entertained for hours. While you enjoy yourself, leave the kids with the booth. Kids never get bored with the photo booth loving how the wedding mirror photo booth talks to them, has a touch screen and prints out photos, but the feature that the kids enjoy the most is the sign and stamp feature where you can sign your name, put on cool emojis or even draw a picture. The kids go nuts over our super cool themed props choosing between heaps of childrens’ themed props including superheroes and Disney characters.

9) Variety of Options

Originally, it was just the traditional Photo Booths that were available for Weddings and other Private Events. But now, the Magic Mirror Photo Booth is available, which is a fully upright photo booth that takes portrait or landscape photos as opposed to only landscape.

As the mirror photo booth does not have an enclosure, as the original booths do, you can fit more wedding guests into the photos. The Max we’ve ever seen is 20!

10) Print Signings

Did you know that the magic mirror comes with the opportunity for guests to actually sign their prints, ON the photos? How this works is very simple. Once the guests have taken their 3 photos, the software will ask the guests to sign their prints. A large box appears on the touch screen, where they can choose from a range of colours, fonts and emojis to sign their prints with. This will then appear at a pre-agreed location (usually the bottom right) of the design, on both the physical prints and online uploads!

11) The Cost Has Come Down Significantly

When photo booths first appeared on the scene, the cost was a little overwhelming for most couples – usually around $2,500.00 for a 4-hour session. Luckily now, you can hire most of the above services for much less.
