Wedding Photo Booth Cost
Many variables can affect wedding photo booth costs like the length of your event, add-ons, package types, wedding location, and whether your event is in the peak season like May, June, September, and October, or during off-peak season months. Pricing can start anywhere around $100/hour with most photo booths requiring a certain minimum number of hours to book. And, of course, weekends are the most expensive time to book year-round with Saturdays usually running the highest.
Wedding Photo Booth Strips and Prints vs. Digital Images
Like everything, there are pros and cons to opting for physical photo prints versus digital image downloads for your wedding photo booth. Ask yourself, “what is my ultimate goal?” Sentimentally speaking, you may want to be able to look back on all the photos taken at your wedding, whether in a photo album or guest book. If you’re more about the memories or social media sharing than tangible prints, it may be valuable for you to get a download link! Talking with your wedding photo booth vendor can help clarify what is covered with your package and what you will need to add as an extra.
