The props were placed in colorful baskets outside the photo booth. We had hats, boas, mustaches, glasses, bead necklaces, crowns, sunglasses and speech bubbles on sticks with erasable markers at hand. We used twine to hang a lettered sign across the front of our booth. We placed our moveable wall in a corner of the reception room, enclosing 3 sides of our photo booth. We made a 10 foot long by 6 foot high wall. I bought curtain panels (in the wedding colors of course) from a discount store. He spray painted and constructed a photo booth frame from pvc pipe. We used a Rocketfish iPad stand to secure the iPad on a table within our homemade booth. We chose IncrediBooth because it was in my price range (99 cents), uses the front facing camera (guests could see themselves as they hammed it up for the camera), has the standard 4-picture photostrip feature and several different retro image effects.

She had a photo booth at her reception, I have an iPad forever.

The release of the iPad 2 with its built in cameras as well as a wide variety of photo booth apps allowed us to realize my daughter’s dream and mine too. Then I priced it out and realized, no, not that much fun. This past summer my daughter wanted to rent a photo booth for her wedding reception and I thought that sounds like fun.
