    This is an "extra" for us, but I wish there was room in the budget for it!

    Extra. I don't like all the goofy props and such anyway. However, we do have a instant photo guestbook. If I could have a simple photo booth to make it easier for guests, I would probably do that.

    Beyond extra. Its really cool to have a professional one at a wedding but its not necessary to have a good time and we're already paying a photographer to get pictures of ever one so it seems unnessesary to me.

    I love photo booths and think they are so fun! But for us - this was an extra upgrade that we skipped!

    Definitely not an essential. I won’t be having a photo booth.

    This is so cute and fun, especially when the drinks start flowing, but is definitely extra.

    Essential for us. We love them and it's pretty much expected at weddings in our area.

    I don't think it is essential but I think it is a great way to help engage guests. FH and I are leaning towards a videobooth instead though. Just a little something extra

    Absolutely ESSENTIAL! I've always had a blast at photobooths at all the weddings I've attended!

    Extra. I have never been to a wedding that had one and I never use them when I am someplace that has one. I get why some people love them but it's not for me.

    Definitely an extra. We chose to do it because we had already booked photography and videography, and if we booked the photo booth as well, we got the “trifecta bonus”— a 24x36 canvas print of a wedding photo of our choice, a scrapbook for the photo booth, and a DVD copy of our wedding video!

    I think they are fun but it wasn’t in the budget for us.

    No I don’t think photo booths are necessary since we will only have one person doing both photography and videography.

    For my personal love story, it’s essential! Photo booths have always been our thing, everytime we go on a date night where there’s a photo booth we jump right in.
