Guest-made content is replacing the second photographer
Mirror booths and instant-print stations now cover the candid layer that a second shooter used to provide, at a lower cost and with output guests take home the same night.
The professional photographer still owns the ceremony; the booth owns the after-party.
Light painting and slow-shutter formats are back
After a decade of speed, couples are booking slower, more crafted formats. Light painting takes two minutes per group but produces a genuinely unique image nobody has seen forty times on a feed.
Place it after dinner, when the room has settled and the light is low.
Timing beats novelty
The single biggest driver of booth usage at weddings is placement in the run of show. Open the activation during the cocktail hour, close it during speeches, and reopen for the party. A booth that runs continuously gets ignored during the emotional beats.
// The takeaway
Book one fast format for the cocktail hour and one crafted format for the evening, and schedule both around the speeches.
