Photo booth hire price range
In the UK, photo booth hire for a wedding typically ranges from £400 to £1,200 depending on the type of booth, the duration of hire, and the inclusions. Basic setups at the lower end may offer limited print options and a standard backdrop. Premium setups include unlimited prints, luxury backdrops, digital sharing, and a professional attendant throughout.
What are the different types of photo booth?
There are several popular types. The Magic Mirror is an elegant floor-standing mirror with interactive features — it is a premium, eye-catching option that suits upscale venues well. Traditional enclosed booths offer the classic photo strip experience that guests love. Selfie pods are modern, open-plan setups that work well in tighter spaces and produce high-quality images with instant digital delivery.
A great photo booth runs itself for most of the evening — and the prints guests leave with become one of the most cherished keepsakes of your wedding day.
What is typically included?
A premium photo booth hire package should include: unlimited sessions throughout your hire period, instant prints (usually 2 to 3 per session), a choice of backdrop, digital copies of all images, a guestbook where guests can leave their prints and a message, and an attendant throughout. Some providers also include props, custom print overlays with your names and date, and online gallery access after the event.
