I have NEVER seen this idea before, but I love it. Do guests just take the photos with their personal cameras, or is your photographer doing it?

@GreenGables: Guest just take them with their personal cameras, but my 2nd photographer will also take picture of most of them ;]
i would love to have a system where they could press a button and the picture is taken, but i just think it would be too much of a hassle. So its “use your cameras” for now. ;]

We’re going to attempt this as well, but I dont have a spot in my venue where I could set it up, so I’m hoping for a non-rainy day to put it just outside where people can go play. We’re going to have non-tacky props, like vintage clothing, hats and ties, and some dry erase boards for the “silent film” look. I never thought about putting a couch or chair in front of it… nice idea!!

I was also thinking of creating a DIY photo booth. snapping a few pics as guests arrive, but if time doesn’t permit, they can go back and do it later. some may object til they have a few beers anyways. whatdya think? Anyone who has done this, are your guests willing or offended by this idea?

My dad’s going to make me one like these, especially since we have an ugly wall to cover (perfect!). Here’s another sample: http://www.diywedding.org/fall-weddings/kirstin-jon-morristown-nj
