Photo Booths- Trend or Tradition?

A few years ago, Michael asked me if I wanted him to build a Photo Booth for our company to add to the DJ packages.  My response was, “Why waste the time and money?  It’s a trend that’s going to go out within the year or so.”  He just let it go.  My mom said the exact same thing.  I felt that people could just use their phones and take selfies.  I mean why not just set up props and a selfie stick in the corner?  Well, they did!  But still, every time we DJ an event with props and a selfie stick in the corner, nobody seems interested.  The Photo Booth still prevails!

Last week, at a Sweet 16, as soon as the kids arrived, they started screaming with excitement over seeing this big inflatable, light-up cube which beheld the coveted automatic picture machine.  I couldn’t believe how much these kids could appreciate such a simple concept.  It was really funny though when they seemed to be forgetting to take the actual strips.  LOL  It’s like they didn’t remember there were hard copies.  But we’ve done weddings and Grandma and her friends love it just as much!

Our Photo Booth Package has been such a hit that sometimes I even think people forget how great our DJ-ing is.  We usually get about 10 to 12 people to come up and compliment our DJ during an event, but that can’t compete with the 15 to 20 who are complimenting the Booth!    It’s also been very easy to upsell the Photo Booth (even easier than the actual Photography).  Well that’s easy.  No talent needed there; just a little knowledge of technology and a well-built booth (which of course our Michael built for us with his own two hands).

So I guess I was wrong.  This Photo Booth idea may become a permanent fixture at weddings for years to come… Check out Top Trends in Photo Booths.
