One of the hands-down best decisions we made during the wedding-planning process was booking a Smilebooth for the reception. If you haven’t heard of Smilebooth, it’s basically an amazing, open photo booth. They come with tons of options for creative backdrops and props, and the photos print on site with custom logos, etc. I am obsessed.
Everyone at the wedding LOVED this thing. It was packed all night and there was even some impatient line jumping going on at one point (ahem, I’m looking at you, Brother Sparkler). We brought in our own props and kept it simple: metallic confetti, funny vintage noses, confetti streamers…and a mini trampoline. However, things got a little too rowdy at the photo booth and the trampoline was taken away. We are children.
Here’s the best part…Smilebooth compiled every shot that was taken that night into an amazing short video. I love every second of it:

The Smilebooth setup…and some groomsmen in the middle of a “shake-face” photo. I don’t know.
Our custom layout (and one of our button favors!)
If you’re on the fence regarding a photo booth, I say do it, do it, do it!!! It was so worth the cost. Actually, it was one of the things I would have paid even MORE for if we had to. It was that great. I’ll leave you with a few more shots from the night. I love how everyone is covered in confetti, and I especially love that no one was allowed to delete any photos. There are some pretty incriminating shots…don’t worry, Sparkler guests, I won’t show them. Today. 
Did anyone else out there use a Smilebooth?

What was the price point, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve looked for it, and can’t seem to get an idea of how much they cost. Would LOVE to have this at my wedding next year!
@Miss Gray Wolf: Check out Bow-Tie Booths! She’s based out of Southern Maryland but does events all over the DMV and Baltimore areas. Her prices are fairly reasonable and she does custom graphics and brings her own props for you to use.
@bdemps11: Thanks for the info! I am looking at photobooth pricing in the DMV, and I will def check Bow Tie Booths out!
you guys looked like you had so much fun. I have to show pbear this
Does anyone ever tell your husband he looks like an actor? Forgive me, but I just cannot put my finger on the guy’s name!
So many @Miss Gray Wolf sightings in these photos.
@jacquelyn22: Yes! He gets a ton of them though… maybe he just has one of those faces?
So… I may be super jelly that you had CONFETTI in your photo booth. It made for some great shots! You have soooo many pictures. (It must have competed with the dance floor, not that that is ever a bad thing.)
We loved our p’booth too and felt it was one of the best decisions we made.
Hahahaha, these are hilarious! I agree… Our photobooth was 100% worth the cost. EVERYONE got in on the fun!
Mrs. Sparkler, Chicago Age and Occupation: 27, Writer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Publisher Engagement Date: July 21, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2011 Venue: Chicago Illuminating Company About Me: I’m a Southern lady living in the big city of Chicago. Well, lady may be a stretch, but I’m working hard to keep some Virginia charm in our sleek, urban, wedding-palooza! I’m addicted to marathons, not-so-famous bands, Chicago restaurants, and Mark Twain. I cry during SPCA commercials, and I think LOST was the best show to ever hit television. Mr. S and I met at a classy college mixer and, 7 years later, he’s still by my side. He’s the only child, laid back, free spirit... I’m the oldest of five kids, type-A, organizer. It doesn’t work on paper, but we’ve never paid attention to that stuff anyway. Somehow it works. And like they say, sometimes when you know…you just know.
