diy Photobooth Help

Jenny, on February 5, 2020 at 11:02 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 4

Has anyone DIY'ed a photobooth? I'm making the backdrop and props myself, but I don't have an iPad/stand as others have suggested for the actual picture taking. (I don't want to buy a Polaroid/Instax or anything like that.) I figured just bring a universal tripod and everyone can use their own phones with a timer, but I'm worried about the lighting. Has anyone had any experience using a selfie ring light for a photobooth? Which one did you buy?

    We did a DIY photobooth! We used my tablet as the camera and a tripod we already had. We made the backdrop and props. We did not need a selfie light since it was outside. If you don't have a tablet, you can use your phone. Just set your camera up for front facing and have the timer set. We added all of the photos to our wedding website for everyone to download after the wedding. Everyone had a blast with it and no one had any issues. There are photo booth apps, most that cost but I tried several of them and they were all horrible. Just using the camera worked the best for what we wanted.

    Thanks! We have an outside space so maybe we'll just set it up out there if the inside lighting is too dark.

    My friend just had it set up and displayed her wedding hashtag so people could take photos with their own phones! It worked out fine!
