Why Wedding Clients Prefer Video Capable Photo Booths

March 29, 2012 by Leave a Comment

For most people, weddings are the biggest days of their lives. Everyone wants it to be a special, memorable occasion and have as much as they can to remember it by. What better way to capture the big day than to record everyone’s heartfelt wishes on video?

 Choosing a photo booth with video capability, such as our AAAUltimate Booth, will allow a small business to market to weddings far more effectively. Here’s why:

 

A Perfect Environment

Photo booths at weddings allow the perfect environment for producing sincere videos showing how the guests feel about the big day: they have privacy and room to collect their thoughts, and the time limit will make sure that they condense everything down to the things they really came to say. Relatives can cheer, Dad can get a little misty, and friends can say things meant only for the ears of the bride and groom.

 

Much Better than Any Slideshow

After the event, you can offer to edit together a longer video made up of short clips of the guests’ videos. Start out with cheerful congratulations, sprinkle in the comic relief, and build up to the tearful and sincere words from those closest to the newlyweds… before you know it, you’ll have turned a bundle of disconnected clips into an award-winning dramatic experience! No slideshow could hope to have as powerful an impact.

After everything’s been put together, the newlyweds can keep the video collection private, or upload it to YouTube for the whole family to have easy access (see our article “How to Upload a Photo Booth Video to YouTube” for more information). Either way, it’ll be a wonderful thing for them to look back on any time they want to remember their big day and the friends and family who helped them reach it. With the ability to offer all of this at your disposal, you can count on having much happier customers—and you’re certain to see an increase in business.

How To Turn A Regular Wedding Guest Book Into An Exciting Photo Keepsake

Wedding guest bookTips for Brides – Make it special

 

Wedding guest books are an age-old tradition, but in reality, they capture little of the feeling of that special day. Sure, you might break yours open ten years later to settle a debate over whether or not Uncle Bob actually attended… but who’s going to look at a bunch of signatures for the pleasure of it?

 

Wouldn’t it be more exciting to open your guest book and see everyone dressed in their best and grinning for the camera? It sounds difficult at first—who has the time to photograph everyone as they come in to sign their names on a wedding day?  The answer is fun and simple.  A wedding photo booth and a glue stick will practically do it for you!

 

How to

 Just have your wedding photo booth set up at the entrance, right next to the guest book.  When guests begin to arrive, they will be able to snap a strip of photos of themselves and have it in their hands in a matter of seconds, quickly adding it to the book with a bit of glue. All they need to do after that is add a personal note and there you have it!

 

Getting this to happen naturally is another story.  First, before the guest arrive, have your maid of honor take the first photos and place the strip in the book.  This can be done easily and cheaply with a few glue sticks (just make sure to provide more than one in case any go dry or roll away on the floor). Once the first strip is secured, have them write in a personal note.  This will set the precedent and anyone who goes to sign the book will feel like doing the same.  

 

You’ll save others time and confusion by providing an example first. If you’re having the guests glue the photos in place, make sure that there are outlines on each page that show where the photos go. Finally, make sure there’s still room for those signatures and special wishes!  You can do this by choosing the right guest book. You may also be able to find special books with laminate photograph casings like photo albums, which will offer longer-lasting protection for the photos.

 

Just imagine

With signatures, personal remarks, and a strip of photos, each person’s entry will be a sincere and loving addition to the book and it will surely capture the true life and excitement of the day. Why settle for an old-fashioned wedding guest book when a photo booth can make it so much more?  By renting a wedding photo booth you can easily create a special keepsake that generates good feelings for years to come.

 

 

Tips for Photo Booth Professionals

If you’re a photo booth entrepreneur, you can add value to your service by creating a template book to demonstrate the idea to the couple. It’s always a hit and not everyone thinks of it.  Not only could you offer the idea, but you could go one step further and carry extra glue sticks, pens and guest books in case disaster strikes.  What if someone forgets the book or loses the glue sticks?  Having a backup ready for them could mean saving the day.
