A photo booth is by far the
best favor you can give to your guests at your wedding reception. However, not all photo booths are created equal. Here
are 4 great tips that can help when shopping around for a photo booth.
Tip 1 – Find
out if they are using a real camera or a webcam. A
real camera will help ensure that your pictures are bright and clear, while a webcam's
pictures are usually dark and blurry. A real camera also allows for the booth operator to adjust
the zoom so that you can fit small or large groups into the booth. This is not easily done using a webcam
Tip 2 – Ask
if they are using a dye sublimation printer or an inkjet printer. Dye sub
printers are going to give you the best print quality and can last up to 100
plus years. (This is the same type of printer you will find at a photo lab when
you take your pictures in to get developed.) Normal household inkjet printers
cannot compete; they are much slower, will fade very quickly, and will not last
nearly as long.
Tip 3 - Check out
the templete design options. Many companies will tell you that they will provide custom
graphics or artwork for your photo booth template, but their idea of a great
graphic design and your idea of a great graphic design, may not be the same.
Check out some really amazing graphic designs on our website.
Tip 4 - Ask for a sample. This
is the best tip I can give you. Have them mail you a sample printed
from their booth that was taken at one of their events. This will give you
something to compare when deciding which company to hire. People don’t throw
out pictures, so you will want to make sure it looks great! This is something that will end up on
your guest’s refridgerator at home.
