Wedding photo booths were a big trend in 2023, but they're just as popular now. While it's something of a novelty, allowing wedding guests to participate in this way will never get old, as they can create memorable images of the night for themselves and you. Any photo booth can elevate your wedding reception, but if you truly want the best, you'll have to pick the one best suited for your wedding. In this blog, we'll dive into the details of our three popular photo booth options — iPad, 360, and mirror booths — to help you decide which fits your special day best.
iPad Photo Booth
The iPad photo booth is a modern twist on traditional photo capturing, leveraging the latest iPad technology to deliver fun, shareable images with a touch of personalization. Aside from being portable and easy to set up, iPad photo booths are also the most affordable. Because most people are familiar with Apple devices, such as iPhones, navigating the menus shouldn't require a lengthy tutorial — it's very intuitive.

- Intuitive Interface: Users can easily navigate the menus to take the perfect picture.

- Those who are budget-conscious but don't want to compromise on fun.
Pros and Cons

360 Photo Booth
Step into the future of event entertainment with the 360 photo booth, which captures high-definition video from all angles as the camera circles the action. You might have seen these photo booths at red-carpet events, like The Academy Awards, but you don't have to be up for an award to use one. With the Tortilla Photo Booth, you and your guests can enjoy 360, slow-motion video that they will treasure for years to come.

With a huge touchscreen and tons of built-in effects, a mirror photo booth is great for guests who want to experiment.
