I'm pro DIY on photobooths.

Gerbera: it would be set up and run by my photographer, so I don't know if our guests would get their pics right away. And I don't necessarily want them to pay for them after the fact. With a real photobooth they get the pictures right then and there.
Oooh. So you are talking about either a) getting a seperate Photobooth company or a DIY Photobooth through your photographer?
Sorry, I thought you meant photographer Photobooth or your own DIY Photobooth. That's kinda weird that if the photographer is doing it you can't take the photos right away. Kinda defeats the purpose of a photobooth, no?
I would vote no on the photographer photobooth then, just me. :)
I agree.. That it is a no on the photographer. I mean that sucks that they can't take the pictures and I agree what is the point! I would rather have my guest be able to take the pictures with them or put them in a guest book and sign it!
Our photographer will be setting up a background and lighting and taking photos of whoever wants them. I'm thinking I will have some fun props sitting around. I'm not too worried about the guests being able to take them right away since we're getting all the rights to the photos and guests can download what they want for free.
It was extra work for me, but I did a DIY photobooth and then mailed out the pictures as favors to my guests! I left a note at the table asking for their email address and letting them know that they would be given the opportunity to choose their favorite for me to mail to them.
I really need to post about that...

I am 100% for the photog booth/"paparazzi" booth. I am all about the cost savings. I mean
We will be making a flickr account or something like that to upload the pictures later on. We'll hand out cards at the wedding and possibly put them in TY notes so guests can go look/download photos.
I think DIY is a great idea! We are doing the same thing-- although there is no instant gratification, I willl let guests know pics will be posted on our wedding website after the fact. Looking them up later will give guests something to look forward to when they get home.
Mrs. Avocado - thanks for that tip! I'd really hate to pay for extra photography (even though I love the idea of a real photobooth), especially since it's included w/ my photographer's package. Maybe I can do something like you did, or sen them with their thank-you notes!
*I was writing to Avocado when mermaid and beffelou wrote, too! Thanks for your ideas :)
We're doing a DIY "photobooth," and will just have an instant printer there so people can get copies of their photos (for our guestbook and to incorporate into favors we are providing) immediately. Details are here.

Or, you could 100% DIY it without your photographer's assistant! Use a Polaroid PoGo camera, which prints images instantly. They print with sticky backs so your guests can put them in a guestbook right away and also print extras for themselves.
Our 2nd shooter will be doing the same thing @ our reception. It was an added bonus to our package and definitely a selling point for us! I'm planning to pick up cute props for people to use and then including the pictures in their thank you cards. I'll probably also put them on Flickr or something like other people suggested here! Either way, I think it'll be one more fun thing to do at the reception! :)
:) Thanks for all your advice. I"m actually getting pretty excited about having our photog set up our faux photo booth! She just put some recent pics from her photobooth on her blog and they look great!
Avocado - that is a GREAT idea...I'm loving it! I really like the photobooth idea, and I am hoping that I'll be able to put one together...

My photographer will be setting up the "photobooth" area, hopefully with a remote on the camera. I made a cute sign that is being printed as we speak (I just got the phone call that it is ready!)
I will get all the images on a CD after the wedding, then they will be uploaded to the Wedding Flickr site. I will also print out one for each guest and send it with their thank you note.

'm trying to make a pro/con list to figure out what I should do - opinions needed!!
My photographer is starting to set up her own DIY Photobooth during receptions (there's an assistant photog who would be in charge of the "photobooth")
But then I'm wondering if a DIY loses something in the translation. In other words, people can't take the photos home with them and I really like the fact that with an actual booth you can make a guest book out of them right them and there and have people write little notes next to their pictures.
thoughts???
