3 reasons why you need something better than a photobooth at your next event
In the mid-2010s, the photobooth craze hit the events industry and became the hottest trend. Photobooths brought nostalgic fun to events reminding attendees of boardwalks and carnivals and even hanging out at the mall. I remember when my Mom first attended a wedding with a photobooth, and she raved all about it, “It was like those old-time booths I used to go to!”
Coinciding with the rise of selfie culture, photobooths delivered your most outrageous looks (think duck lips and peace fingers) on small strips of paper. I can personally attest to the fun of making my most ridiculous face and having it shared back to me in printed format.
However, the photobooth has lost its luster. The mechanized experience and theoretical license to look as drunk as possible just don't seem suitable for a classy, high-end event experience today.
You need something better than a photobooth. Here why…
The experience is impersonal and mechanical. Operators are simply standing by to fix technical problems. They are not engaged or invested in hyping up your guests..
While fun, a photobooth does not elicit a feeling of being high-end. From the silly props to the ridiculous and often unflattering photos, the vibe just doesn’t match the exquisite florals, food, and ambiance you’ve worked so hard to create. When planning an event, a cohesive feeling is essential. Having one element that does not match can downgrade the entire feeling of your event.
It’s a fad. Plain and simple. The technical gadgets, 3D gifs, animated looping videos, and other tech-oriented photo products will only last as long as the tech is relevant. Look at your first cell phone, and you’ll know how long that lasted.
You deserve a better experience.
