Hiring a photobooth for your wedding is one of the most popular things to do these days, and it is no wonder if you have ever been to a wedding in which one has been in place. Not only does it provide a whole host of fun, it also ensures that there are heap of fantastic photos for you to look back on as a memory of your special day.
Because there is generally no photographer watching, the people using the photobooth are much more natural and uninhibited and feel safe within the confines of the booth. This allows people to be silly and let their hair down and results in photographs that give a much more natural and truer depiction of your day than the more normal, orthodox type of wedding photograph. With the addition of a box of crazy dress-up wigs, clothes and moustaches, you and your guess will have an absolute riot.
