Ten Great Open Air Photo Booth Poses to Try at Your Next Event

By Blog

There’s nothing better than having a great photo booth at your wedding or special event. You and your guests are bound to have a night to remember — and those awesome photos will be on hand to constantly remind you! On the other hand, there’s nothing worse than getting all excited about jumping in front of the photo booth, only to completely freeze without any idea of what pose to strike. That ‘deer in the headlights’ look is not what you want, so it’s a good idea to start thinking about your favorite poses before you take the plunge.

Whether you’re sharing a romantic moment with your partner or being silly with your best friends, you’ve got to put your best foot forward if you want great pictures.

This guide to some of the most timeless open air photo booth poses will help you elevate your ‘snapshot game’ and create funny, ravishing, and magnificent pictures.

The Charlie’s Angels

You can’t discuss the best photo booth poses without mentioning the one that groups of ladies have been doing for decades. The Charlie’s Angels stance has gone down in history as one of the coolest and most kickass. All you have to do is stand with your backs pressed together and show off those guns.

A Kiss On The Cheek

An easy way to show some sweet affection to your best friend, close family member or partner in life is a quick kiss on the cheek.

The CramAsManyPeopleAsYouCanTogether

Ah, this is pretty much one of our most popular poses towards the end of the evening. Everyone wants a picture with all of their very best friends. Luckily, our photo booths have no walls so you’re free to cram as many people as you want into the frame.

Guns Out

Most guys can’t get in a photo booth without flexing their muscles, but it’s positively encouraged, especially if you’re having a laugh with the boys at a party. Show the ladies what you’re made of, by bringing your boys together and showing off those guns.

Three Wise Monkeys

Everyone loves a famous pose reenactment, so try and copy your favorite art. For example the Mona Lisa smile, The Scream or in this case the three wise monkeys. Remember the more poses you do the better.

The Lift

Lift your partner or give them a piggy back ride while the camera keeps on snapping the photos. If you’re one of the groomsmen, you can also work together to lift the groom up above your shoulders – safely of course! Have fun as you do this and let the camera do its job in capturing your genuine sweet smiles.

Off Duty Supermodels

Or, you could strike a pose better suited to the runway. Grab your girls and get your Vogue on. Stick your pout out as far as it will go – a la Kate Moss – and try your hand at being a catwalk queen.

The Jump

This one takes a bit of coordination, but the idea is to time a perfect jump right before the camera snaps a photo. It’ll capture you and your group in mid-air which almost always delivers an epic shot.

Dance Party

You’ve got multiple shots, show us your best dance moves! This works really well with our animated GIF option. In each shot, complete a different step of the Running Man, Lawnmower, Macarena, The Carlton, The Robot, Thriller, Harlem Shake, Gangnam Style, you get the idea.

The Fake Fight

This is one of the most fun photo booth poses to create, because it involves a little bit of theatrical skill. You need to make this one as over the top as possible. So, think wind up (cartoon style) fists, seeing stars, and dazed expressions. If there is more than three of you, pair up and each have a ‘mini’ scenario to yourself.

There you have it – ten great poses that you can use at your next event. Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter as we’ll be posting more great ideas!

Six Reasons Why You Should Have a Photo Booth at Your Wedding

By BlogNo Comments

When planning their special day, brides and grooms seek many types of entertainment. All weddings have them and your wedding will be no different in this aspect. You know you’re going to book the essentials – a DJ, food, venue, photographer, and perhaps a few other vendors – and wonder if a photo booth is really necessary to have at your wedding. The short answer is “No”. In fact, when you compare side by side the DJ and photo booth, it is an easy decision to choose a DJ without a doubt in your mind.

Then why on earth would you question if a photo booth would be right for your wedding? It is likely because you do not want to miss out on the fun and long lasting memories a photo booth can create on your special day that no other form of entertainment can. And heck, you shouldn’t miss out on those memories! It is your once in a lifetime occasion that you will preserve and treasure forever, and that should be reason enough to get a photo booth on your special day. But in case you are still doubting your decision, here are six more reasons why you should have a photo booth for your wedding.

1. Personalize Your Wedding

It can be difficult to look for ways to incorporate your wedding theme into your reception but photo booths add the special personalized touch you’ve been looking for without putting in any extra effort. The team at VidaBooth can incorporate your wedding theme onto your prints simply by receiving a sample of your theme colors or invitation cards. Custom backdrops and props are other great upgrades that can be requested.

2. Perfect for Breaking the Ice

Aside from a dance floor, most wedding guests find themselves hanging with the same people that were at their table for the entire party. A photo booth at a wedding creates the perfect opportunity for bride’s party and groom’s party members to mingle. The photo booth environment entices guests to embrace their silly side making it easier to socialize with people they might have met that same day.

3. It is Fun for All!

One of the challenges a wedding has is that guests come from all ages, which can make it difficult to find one form of entertainment that is suitable for everyone. Photo booths are the perfect wedding feature that all guests can take part of. Having a photo booth gives grandpa who might not be able to spend the night away dancing, something fun to do while also giving all your little guests something age appropriate they can participate in. From putting on a Viking hat to giving their best duck face, guests, no matter what age, will find themselves having a blast!

4. Worry-Free Fun

The last thing a couple needs is another wedding detail to worry about. Photo booths allow busy brides to add another entertainment feature to the reception without having to manage the smaller details. All VidaBooth rental packages come with an attendant who can assist the party guests with their photo booth experience making it hands off and easy.

5. A Different Photo Opportunity

Who doesn’t want to take pictures when they’re dressed to impress? Although there are always photographers at a wedding, a photo booth provides your guests with a different photo opportunity. Photo booths can capture those small moments and silly interactions that a photographer will typically miss. You could get that perfect first dance picture and a picture of grandma making a kissy face while wearing oversized glasses and a pink wig.

6. Party Favors!

A photo booth combines entertainment and party favors into one! After every photo booth session, guests get to walk away with a photo strip as a special keepsake. VidaBooth even offers a private online gallery, digital downloads (so you can have all the prints), and provides guests an option to upload their favorite pictures to social media. Unlike traditional party favors, photo strips incorporate your special moment with your guests’ experiences. Guests will be able look at their photo strips for years to come and remember your special day and all the fun they had.

With all the fun, memories, and opportunity a photo booth provides for your special day, it becomes easy to understand why photo booths at weddings have gain so much attraction. It is not just a silly trend that comes and goes, but relatively new opportunity that brides and grooms take to create one of the best memories.
