What to Look For When Renting a Photo Booth

 [Originally at Photo Booth Trends of 2020 by Danica G.]

Well, it’s 2019 and at The SnapBar we’re stoked to see what this year brings. We can’t say what the Billboard #1 song will be or whether cargo pants will actually be acceptable fashion again...But we can share what the top trends for photo booths will be this year. Because it’s kinda what we do (and we love what we do).

2019 is going to be a year of experiences. People don’t want to just step in front of a camera and say “cheese” anymore. It’s about so much more. It’s about capturing unbelievable moments, embracing minimalism and showing off your personality.

The SnapBar can’t wait to help create and capture these experiences for you in 2019, so without further ado, here are the Top 5 Photo Booth Trends of 2019!

5) Video and GIF booths are in.

Like, really in. Like the 90s and my favorite velvet dress from elementary school are back in.

Both GIF and video booths are great for leaving a personalized message for the bride and groom, letting people know how much you’re loving the party, or capturing those moments of movement where you’re like, “Oh, THAT’S my best side!” (And if you’re like me, that totally depends on the day.)

Sure, when you’re looking for audio, a noisy room can be a concern, but we’d love to work with you and figure out how to make this awesome experience work! All it takes is a side room or a deserted corner of your event and it’ll be cake.

 

4) Props – choose carefully...

Let’s talk about props for a minute. If you’ve ever been in a photo booth, you’ve probably held up a handlebar mustache on a stick or put on those huge clown glasses. They’re fun, quirky and definitely lighten up the mood.  

But in 2019, minimalist props will be key. You’ll see a decrease in funny glasses and an increase in simple, themed props. Basically, if it was created exclusively for your party, definitely use that prop. But if you find yourself picking up glasses and a mustache on a stick and a funny hat...maybe it’s time to just put them all back and grab a drink and a friend to be in front of the camera with you.

Props can be a great addition, but make sure, when you look back on the photo, you’re remembering the experience of the event as a whole. And let me tell you, you’ll want to remember who you spent the event with and not what you look like with fake lips.

I mean, just check out @ciara and @dangerusswilson. Less is definitely more.

 

3) Set Designs: it’s all about the experience!

With props being much more streamlined and minimalist, we’ll be seeing the sets of photo booths becoming increasingly more unique! 

And we’re not talking just fun backdrops (even though that’s still totally a thing). We’re talking full-on sets where the photo experience and the props are one. These work great with GIF experiences and are perfect for really capturing the vibe of your event. 

In 2018, Zillow and Bend did some awesome set designs and we loved them.

I mean, just look at these photos! There’s nothing more fun than pretending you’re flying or playing in a tub surrounded by rubber ducks, amirite?

These are some great things to think about while looking to book a photo booth. Choosing a great theme and props is a sure way to leave your guests wowed. Photo booths are also my personal favorite way to document events. 

Great Photo Booth Ideas for Your Wedding

From GIFs to flower walls, discover the latest photo booth trends.

 

Although you have a photographer and videographer to capture precious moments of your big day, nothing compares to the energetic response from guests who smile over their own photo booth pictures that they get to keep for themselves. Not only do they eagerly talk about their poses and the photos they want to post on social media, but they remain excited with this form of “entertaiment” the entire night. Photo booths have become a must-have element for weddings and celebrations of all sorts. Yet, recent years have shown a new wave of photo booth trends that add extra pizzazz to an already spectacular party.

Wedding photo booths are very different from ones at amusement parks or carnivals that require you to insert a few dollars. They are free for all guests and can be customized to your choosing. Some machines offer more than just photo strips. Take a look at the following trends to see how photo booths have evolved and become real crowd-pleasers.

Backdrops

Another distinct feature about wedding photo booths is that they are not always bound into four walls. Therefore, you can add any kind of backdrop. From sequined material to a wall of flowers, the options are endless.

 

Props

Guests will have a blast with oversized hats, glasses, picture frames, boa scarves, signs, and any other props you’d like to have on hand. Some photo booth companies provide their own props, but you can always provide your own.

GIFs

These images are not used just for memes. Nightclubs and arenas allow guests to create their own GIFs, and wedding photo booths have started to follow this trend. Guests will enjoy customizing their GIFs, which they can email to themselves and post on social media.

Most Recent Trends To Keep In Mind When Renting A Photo Booth

[Originally at Emerging Photo Booth Trends by Alexandra Dunlap]

Photo booths have become a must-have element for every type of event and celebration! Recently as emphasis has been placed on experiences, there are requirements for a new wave of photo booths that can do more than snap a picture. Photo booths are about so much more now with interactive features, customizations, and forward-thinking innovations. In recent years these emerging photo booth trends allow you to add extra appeal to an already spectacular event! 

As a leader in creating event experiences, we try to keep up with new trends! We have done our research and compiled a list of emerging photo booth trends that you can expect to see at your next event. Tap into these trends to ensure the success of your next event!

1. Open-Air Photo Booth 

 

The open-air photo booth is a modern take on the traditional enclosed photo booth. This style of a photo booth both allows for more guests into the photo and incorporates sets and props for a full-on photo experience. No walls mean more flexibility when it comes to the positioning of your photo booth. Now that the walls have come down, the photo booth experience has become an out-of-the-box form of event entertainment, incorporating green screens, digital props, and animations. Although green screen backgrounds are fun, it is also beneficial to showcase your location as a natural photo booth background. Capture your fellow racers at a marathon, highlight the lovely landscape at your garden party, or include a view of your venue as your backdrop. It'll create high-quality, natural-looking photos for you to enjoy as keepsakes from your event. The options are truly limitless with the increased space of an open-air photo booth! 

2. GIFs

What could be better than having fun images from your next event? How about the ability to create GIFs, bringing your photos to life. Don’t just stand and pose for your picture! Incorporating GIFs into your photo booth experience allows you to up the ante when it comes to capturing that perfect event photo. Allow guests to let loose, get creative, and let their personalities shine! The interactivity of the photo booths is a fun-filled and entertaining way to have a positive effect on your guests and get them talking about your event long afterward.

3. Non-Traditional Backdrops

 

With props becoming much more streamlined and minimalist, you can expect to see the sets of photo booths becoming increasingly more unique! You can now showcase your creativity with an entire styled space dedicated for guests to take photos. The styled area will blend with the event theme and can serve as a part of the general decor and composition. Backdrop possibilities are endless as photo booths are no longer bound to four walls. From walls made of chalkboard to flowers, the options are endless. Choosing a backdrop may not seem important, but we encourage you to think big! This is your chance to make a statement, show off your style, and reinforce the theme of your event!

There are so many things you can customize about a photo booth. It can be hard to decide exactly what theme and options will be best for your event. Luckily blogs like this can give you some great pointers on what will really wow your guests.
