DIY Photobooth
My most favorite wedding idea that I have so far is a photobooth at the reception. I have see this done and it looks like so much fun! But, renting a photobooth would probably kill our entire budget. So, I have decided to make my own. I am going to enlist the handy help of my dad and grandpa in this project, so in order to save them some confusion I made a sketch of what I am imagining. I am no artist, but here is my idea so far:
I love the idea of guests taking random photos and leavign them for us as a surprise. Our only real question with this idea is what kind of camera to use. My fist thought was to use a Polaroid camera. I am planning on using my Polaroid to photograph guests as they first walk in also. They can sign these photos to make a unique guest book. The problem with using the Polaroid for the photobooth is the actual taking of the photos. Some one would either have to man the station the whole night or you would have to try to do the self-shot, which is rarely good. I read somewhere that you can set up a digital camera with a cord and button so the people can take their own photos from further away. Now I seem to be leaning more towards this idea. Any suggestions?
