Pictures are a huge part of the wedding day. While having a professional photographer around for the day will ensure that all of the major moments and memories are captured, there’s always room for photo opportunities throughout the night that your photographer may miss.

 

Photo booths are the new hit thing at weddings but they can be costly and often eat up a large chunk of your wedding budget that you didn’t plan for.

 

To make sure that all the guests have access to their own mini photo shoots throughout the wedding, here are four ways to create your own DIY photo booth and save money alone the way.

 

1. Bring Along Selfie Sticks

A fun idea is to have a selfie stick on every table. That way your guests can become mini photographers of their own and capture moments throughout the night. Sure, you may end up with a whole lot of pictures of your guests faces, but it will make for a fun time to review all their photos the day after the wedding.

 

2. Set Up a Camera on a Tripod

Make your own official photo booth by setting up a fun backdrop and a camera on a tripod. You can even make your own props for the photo booth too.

 

3. Go Old School With Disposable Cameras

Set them on tables or even on a separate table near a fun backdrop. People can take photos of one another and you can get them developed after the wedding.

 

4. Get a Couple Polaroid Cameras

These instant photos will be great souvenirs for people to take home with them. They can also leave them for you as a way of signing your guest book. Either way, this is a fun way to have fast photos of your guests throughout the night the morning after the wedding.
