Why You NEED a Digital Wedding Photo Booth

aka a “Futobooth” At Your Reception

Wedding photo booths have experienced highs and lows in popularity over the years. Since the digital photo booth was invented, however, we believe they are one of the best forms of reception entertainment for your guests. If you’ve been considering a digital photo booth at your wedding, we’ve got just the thing. At Jenny Fu Studio, we’ve invested in our very own “Futo-booth.” It’s so much fun!

This new age of photo booths is miles ahead of old, traditional photo booths. They’re environmentally friendly, because they don’t print anything, and promote social sharing! They also offer your guests the option to download their images from an online gallery directly onto their phones. Even better, they offer videos, GIFs and Boomerangs. How cool is that?! What could be funnier than Uncle Bob and Aunt Karen bumping hips, again and again, thanks to a Boomerang? Honestly, we can’t think of anything!

Unlike traditional photo booths that provided poor quality photos, digital wedding photo booths produce high-quality images, ready to share with the world. All you need is a power outlet and a venue that offers WiFi so you can AirDrop directly onto a guest’s iPhone!

Think party favors

There is nothing better than having your guests walk away at the end of the night with a funny photo or two on their phones and social media. Think of this investment as an alternative to the classic wedding favor. One that your guests are going to actually keep as it’s conveniently stored in their phones! Not to mention, they can look back and be reminded of your big day and the part they played in it.

Gone are the days of wedding selfies with the bride and groom in poor lighting! Now couples can invite their guests to join them in the digital wedding booth. Everyone can walk away from your wedding with a fun, high-quality memento of themselves and the happy couple! Plus, as the bride and groom, you have the option of downloading all of the digital wedding photo booth images. Yep, you too get some sweet souvenirs of your guests!

Offering your guests a tangible memory that includes them wearing fun wedding booth props makes them giggle. It reminds your guests about how much fun they had, which is one of the nicest gifts you can give the people you love.

Down time filler

It’s always a great idea to provide guests with something fun to do during the wedding downtime. And if you’re being realistic, all weddings have periods of downtime! The happy couple could be off taking photos or making the rounds saying hi and welcoming all of their guests. The longer people have to play around the digital wedding photo booth, the funnier the photos become.

As the night goes by, and the drinks start flowing, those hilarious photos will be posted on the online gallery for other guests to chuckle at. Who doesn’t enjoy dressing up, letting loose and making hilarious photo magic with family and friends?

don’t forget your shy friends

Wedding days can be hectic and, try as they might, couples often miss greeting some guests. A digital wedding photo booth can be the perfect way to make sure you know exactly who attended your wedding. Why not request that everybody visit the booth at least once? Then you can collect photos in the online gallery. This makes it so much easier to know exactly who was there, and no one feels left out when you are posting and tagging people on social or sending out thank yous.
