Creative DIY Wedding Photo Booth Ideas

Photo booths are a great way to add an element of entertainment for your family and friends and flaunt goofy poses with hilarious photo props. They’re also great to give your guests a memento they can take along as the most fun memory of your mehndi, sangeet or reception.

Selfie Station

Candid Shutters

Your wedding photographer is charging you extra for the photo booth job? Then the selfie station is here to your rescue. A selfie station is where you could have your guests take their own pictures (minus the assistance of your photographer) using a selfie stick. If you’re considering this, create a hashtag of your wedding; that way, it’ll be easy for you to collect all the images by requesting your guests to hashtag the pictures they take at your wedding.
