A Wedding to Remember - Ultimate Photo Booths

Let’s be honest, we haven’t all got the budget that the Royal Family had for the wedding of Prince William and the now, Princess Katherine. Their wedding was over three years and go and some people still speak of the event as if it was yesterday. Yes, they had media and photographers everywhere which helps make the event more memorable but do the guests still remember the wedding?



In this article we talk about some of the excellent ways you can make your wedding more memorable than the royal wedding;

  • Wedding Favours – these are the things that people take away from your wedding and there is nothing worse than having the favours left on the table at the end of an event. You need to make the wedding favours interesting, exciting and personal so your guests want to take them home with them at the end of the night.


  •  A Photo Booth for a wedding – is an excellent source of entertainment for your guests, your guests can enter the photo booth with a choice of props (from the wide array of props supplied by the photo booth company), practice some pouts and poses and get snapping. The best thing about a photo booth is that the guests can take the photos away with them and you get a copy too, giving you and your guests the memory to keep forever.


  • Walk Down The Aisle – the walk down the aisle is a huge moment for any bride, father of the bride or bridesmaid. All eyes are on the aisle so why not make it memorable? You only have to pop onto YouTube for some inspiration. If you are going to dance down the aisle let your wedding photographer or videographer know so they are prepared and ready to film or photograph it.



  • The First Dance – as per the walking down the aisle, it’s a part of every wedding so how can you make it different? Have a think about the song, the dance, the tone and the layout and see if you can make it stand out from the crowd. Again, having a look on YouTube will give you lots of inspiration.


These are just some of the fantastic ways you can make your wedding more memorable than the Royal Wedding – and if you want add a touch of royalty to your own wedding why not arrange for crowns and tiaras to be supplied as props for your wedding photo booth?

It’s you one special day – make it memorable!

So why choose Ultimate Photo Booths for your big day? Let's get this part out of the way straight away. There are literally thousands of photo booth companies out there looking for your business! How much do they really care about your big day? I'm not entirely sure? So how do you find the right photo booth company? Taking five minutes to read this will help you a great deal!

The photo booth that never was.


Let me tell you a short story, and although it is a bit of a horror story, it is worth reading because if you are hiring a photo booth for a wedding, you quite simply need to read this. Just last year I myself got married to my now wife, Jo. 6 Months before our wedding we booked a photo booth with a company we found by searching Google. The company we found seemed to be reputable and after a short discussion with them my at the time fiance was happy to book the photo booth for our wedding. 

All seemed well, until, the day of our wedding. My new wife and I were far too busy enjoying our day to notice that our photo booth had not turned up yet! But as the evening progressed we came to realise that it was not going to turn up. And it just did not turn up, simple as that. All the planning we had gone to in arranging a photo booth for our wedding was a waste of time. The company from Lancashire answered one phone call from me after this. During that phone call they told me that they had no recollection of the booking and refused to take any more of my calls. So that was that. I was left with a company that totally refused to acknowledge that they had made a mistake. How can any company can take all your details and discuss where the photo booth will be placed at your wedding and at what time and then refuse to acknowledge they know you? I would not mind if they had only explained they had made a mistake. We were excited about the photo booth at our wedding and we did not even receive an apology from a company with no customer service experience at all. Put quite simply, we had booked on face value, looking at the website, which looked good. But these guys were so bad, so bad indeed that they had zero idea of how to explain that they had made an error. So how do you make sure you get it right? How do you make sure you don't choose a company that will let you down? Don't panic I am getting to that in a short while.

One company didn't capture the moment, and we didn't keep it forever! 


I put it down to experience and decided that at some point I would blog about my experience of hiring a photo booth and hopefully advise people on how to book a photo booth for a wedding from local companies in Cambridgeshire. So how do you avoid a company that let's you down with photo booth hire. I'm going to tell you about an amazing company in Cambridgeshire that you can hire a photo from for a wedding.

What to Consider When Hiring a Photo Booth

Hiring a photo booth for your corporate event or wedding is a fabulous idea, people love to get ‘snap happy’ with a camera and you are left with the perfect documentation of an amazing event. If you’re looking to hire a corporate photo booth or a wedding photo booth here are a few things you need to consider;

Photo Printing

Would you like photos printed for your guests with your company branding on them, would you like two pictures printed so your guests can pop one in your wedding guest book, would you like a disk of the photos so you can pop them on social media pages for your guests to see them? How would you like the photos to be available to you and your guests?



Photo Booth Timing

What time do you want your wedding photo booth to arrive, do you want it after dinner just before the party gets started and do you want to be able to extend it for an hour or two if your guests are really enjoying it? If you have hired a photo booth for a corporate event do you want it available on arrival or would you prefer it was there at the end of the night when everyone is a little more ‘relaxed’?

Where to Put It

Where do you want the photo booth to be, you don’t want it hidden away so nobody sees it but it’s important it doesn't steal the thunder from the whole event. Have a chat with a professional photo booth hire company and they will be able to recommend the best place for your photo booth to be situated at your event.



The Props

What sort of props would you like in the photo booth, if it is a corporate event advertising holidays or beach homes then why not consider beach props like star hats and flower leis? For your wedding you could have a heart backdrop or props from your honeymoon vacation? Whatever props you have your guests are bound to love them.




These are just some of the points you will need to consider when planning the photo booth hire for your event, if you have any queries about hiring photo booths for your event feel free to contact our friendly and professional customer service team.

There are not many people, however old or young, that can resist the charm of a photo booth and even more so when they can see how much fun everyone in the photo booth is having. This is just one of the many reasons that photo booths are such a popular addition to weddings.

A photo booth for a wedding.


We ensure that the guests at your wedding have a great time creating some wonderful memories to take home with them. We help create genuine treasures for you, your partner and your guests.



When it comes to weddings it is not always easy to find something that provides entertainment for everyone at your wedding, you will have a varied selection of people of all ages and different back grounds so finding a ‘one size fits all’ unique wedding entertainment idea can be tricky. This is where a photo booth for a wedding comes in. Young nieces and nephews right through to older grandparents and relatives along with friends from football, the pub or even work will all have a whale of a time in the photo booth and you’ll get some really lovely snaps that will remind you of your perfect day.

A wedding is always a wonderfully special occasion but over time memories of the romantic day will fade, with a photo booth the fun of the day can be captured forever.



If you have a wedding theme or colour we can arrange for the photo booth to fit in and we can even provide additional props for your guests to wear for the photos that fit in with the mood of your wedding. We can even go the extra mile and add your personality into the photos. This can be done by putting your names or wedding date on the photo or if you or your partner have a favourite cartoon character, sport or hobby we can bring along extra props to suit, for example Mickey Mouse ears if you love Disney films.

When you hire a wedding photo booth for your special day you will be surprised just how appreciated by the guests and how much your friends and family will enjoy them. For months after the wedding your guests will still be talking about how much fun it was creating silly poses for the photos.


Here at Ultimate Photo Booths; we capture the moment, you keep it forever.
