💍 Why Have a Photo Booth at Your Wedding
A photo booth has become a must-have feature at modern weddings — a space dedicated to laughter and spontaneous fun, where guests can turn into stars for a moment.
Including one in your celebration creates a shared, interactive experience, adding warmth and energy to every part of the day.
Here’s why couples love it:
- Natural entertainment: it keeps guests engaged and smiling.
- Personal keepsakes: each photo becomes a unique memory of your day.
- Design harmony: the frame or backdrop enhances your wedding décor.
- Simple setup: all you need is a small space and good lighting.
💡 Pro tip: place the photo booth near the cocktail area or reception entrance — a perfect spot for guests to take spontaneous photos without disrupting the flow of the day.
📸 Types of Wedding Photo Booths
There are many ways to create a photo booth that reflects your personality and fits your venue. Here’s an overview of the most popular types and how each one works.
🎞️ Classic photo booth
The traditional enclosed booth, usually made of fabric or wood, with a camera and screen inside. Guests step in, strike a pose and take a series of shots — sometimes printed instantly.
Perfect for couples who love a retro, intimate feel, though it requires a bit of space and a power connection.
📱 Open-air totem or photo station
A compact column with a built-in camera and screen, set up in open space without walls or curtains. Guests stand in front of a decorative backdrop and take pictures or short videos.
It’s easy to install and highly visible, ideal for outdoor receptions or venues with large open areas. Combine it with a custom selfie frame or printed backdrop for a complete photo corner.
🪞 Mirror booth or magic mirror
A striking option: a full-length interactive mirror with a touch screen that guides guests through the photoshoot. It shows live previews, adds animations and lighting effects, and looks impressive in any setting.
Ideal for elegant weddings — it blends technology with visual impact.
🔄 360° video booth and slow-motion booth
A modern, high-tech setup: a rotating platform where guests stand while a camera circles around them, recording dynamic 360° clips or slow-motion videos.
It’s a fun, social-media-ready trend for couples who love creative, shareable content.
🖼️ Custom selfie frame
The simplest, most affordable and crowd-pleasing option — and one of the most loved by couples in the UK.
A lightweight frame made of 10 mm white honeycomb cardboard, fully customisable with your names, date and design to match your wedding theme.
No installation required: just hold it up and snap away.
You can order it directly from Pixartprinting, selecting your preferred size, centre cut-out and finish.
💡 Pro tip: if you want a practical, portable photo booth solution that’s ready in a few days, a personalised selfie frame is the way to go.
📐 Formats, Dimensions and Materials
Your choice of size affects both the look of your photos and ease of use.
Pixartprinting offers two standard formats:
- 80 × 120 cm
- 120 × 80 cm
Both can be used vertically or horizontally, depending on your setup and the kind of shots you prefer.
💡 Tip:
- choose 120 × 80 cm for group shots;
- go for 80 × 120 cm for couple selfies or close-ups.
🔳 Customisable centre cut-out
When ordering, you can adjust the size of the inner window, depending on how many people you’d like to fit in each photo.
🪶 Material and finish
Each frame is made from 10 mm white honeycomb cardboard — light, rigid and sturdy.
You can also add a glossy anti-scratch varnish to protect the print from marks and handling.
💡 Pro tip: if the frame will be used outdoors or passed around frequently, choose the protective finish to keep it looking pristine throughout the celebration.
🎨 How to Personalise Your Selfie Frame
The graphic design is what transforms a simple frame into a truly personal keepsake.
With Pixartprinting you can:
- download the guidelines and template to set up your print file correctly;
- upload your own design, complete with names, date and decorative details;
- or contact our graphic designers for professional help creating a design from scratch or improving an existing file.
💡 Design tip: keep your layout clean, use your wedding colours, and choose fonts that are easy to read in photos.
Avoid small details or elements too close to the edges, as they may not appear in the shot.
➡️ Before confirming your order, make sure your artwork follows the size and safety margin indicated in the downloadable instructions.
🧰 Accessories and ideas for a great photo booth
A well-styled set makes all the difference. Alongside your frame, consider adding:
- Selfie accessory kits: glasses, hats, moustaches, lips and more.
- Printed backdrops or panels: matching your wedding’s colour scheme.
- Lighting: a ring light or warm lamp to enhance photo quality.
💡 Pro tip: add a small sign with a custom wedding hashtag (e.g. #JamesAndChloeWedding) to gather all your guests’ photos on social media.
