Which Photobooth
Should I Choose?
Photobooth Guide 2026
29th September 2026 | Tom Brown, Owner/Head DJ
You’ve got the DJ sorted, but what can a photobooth add to your wedding or party?
Well… more laughs, more memories and another way for your guests to get involved (especially those who say they’re “not dancers”!) But which one is right for you?
Honestly, I could sit here and tell you that one is better than the other, but the truth is that they’re all designed to offer something slightly different. Instead, let’s compare the features of each one, and hopefully by the end, there’ll be one feature that stands out to you and makes you think…
“Yes. That’s the one I want!”
SELFIE POD
Our Selfie Pod is the simplest of our three photobooth options.
The biggest difference? It’s completely digital.
There’s no printing, which helps keep the cost down while still giving you that classic photobooth experience.
Guests can have fun with a selection of props, pose for photos and see their pictures on the interactive touchscreen. It uses the latest iPad camera technology to capture your photos, which can then be shared digitally to your phone via text, email or AirDrop.
You can also add a backdrop to your booking for an additional fee if you want to create a more complete photobooth setup.
The Selfie Pod is perfect if you want:
• Digital photos rather than physical prints
• Lots of props and interaction
• A more budget-friendly option
• Something that works particularly well for birthdays and parties
In 3 words: fun, simple and modern.
MAGIC MIRROR
Our Magic Mirror combines the fun of a photobooth with the look of a full-length mirror, making it a great choice for birthdays and weddings.
You’ll get two printed photos per session (one for your guests to take home and one for the guest book, which is included as standard).
A professional attendant is also included to help with props, encourage guests to get involved and keep everything running smoothly.
The mirror uses a Canon DSLR camera and has a stylish look that works beautifully alongside your venue décor. You can also add a backdrop for an additional fee.
The Magic Mirror is perfect if you want:
• Printed photos
• Guest book and attendant included
• Canon DSLR photography
• A stylish, interactive experience
• Something suitable for birthdays and weddings
In three words: Stylish. Interactive. Extra.
VINTAGE BOOTH
And finally, we have our Vintage Booth: our most advanced photobooth experience. This one is all about creating that premium, studio-style experience while still keeping the fun of a traditional photobooth.
It uses a 6K mirrorless camera and studio-quality lighting for beautifully crisp photos, with up to four prints (compared to two with our Magic Mirror) on thicker-quality paper.
A backdrop, guest book and professional attendant are all included as standard, along with a selection of premium props, including heavier hats, thicker signs and stylish glasses.
Plus, with its rustic vintage look, it’s particularly suited to weddings and venues where you want the booth to complement your décor.
The Vintage Booth is perfect if you want:
• Studio-quality photography
• Premium prints and props
• Up to four prints per session
• Backdrop, guest book and attendant included
• A rustic, elegant look
In three words: Premium. Rustic. Superior.
