Digital Photobooth or Photo Booth: What to Choose for Your Wedding?

The photobooth has become an essential entertainment for weddings. While the traditional photo booth remains popular, a new generation of solutions is emerging: the digital photobooth. With Livenly, each guest transforms their smartphone into a personalized photobooth or uses a tablet set up on a tripod, without needing to download an app.

Why choose a digital photobooth?

The photobooth has become an essential entertainment for weddings. For many years, the traditional photo booth has been the go-to solution for capturing guests.

Today, usage has changed.

Every guest already has a smartphone capable of taking high-quality photos. Instead of concentrating all the entertainment around a single booth, the digital photobooth turns these smartphones into true collaborative cameras.

The result: more participation, greater spontaneity, and hundreds of additional memories.

Here’s why more and more engaged couples are making this choice.

Better value for money

Renting a photo booth generally represents a budget ranging from €250 to €500, to which delivery, installation, or additional options may sometimes be added.

With Livenly, the digital photobooth is included starting at €180, but more importantly, it is not just a photobooth.

This price also includes:

• guest management;

• online RSVPs;

• wedding program;

• collaborative photo gallery;

• Wedding Game;

• digital guestbook;

• quizzes and photo challenges;

• thank you notes after the wedding.

In other words, the photobooth is just one of the many features of the platform.

Setup in under two minutes

A photo booth typically requires:

• delivery;

• installation;

• an electrical outlet;

• a dedicated space;

• sometimes a service provider.

The digital photobooth works immediately.

All you need to do is:

• display a QR Code;

• send a text message;

• or share a link via email.

Guests can instantly access the photobooth from their phones.

If you want to recreate the experience of a classic booth, it is also possible to use a tablet set up on a tripod.

Photos follow you everywhere

A photo booth remains installed in one location.

Guests have to come to it.

With a digital photobooth, it’s the opposite.

The photobooth accompanies guests throughout the day.

They can take photos:

• during preparations;

• during the ceremony;

• at the cocktail;

• during the entertainment;

• during the meal;

• on the dance floor;

• during the last moments of the evening.

This way, you capture many more authentic and spontaneous moments.

Everyone participates at the same time

When a photo booth is successful, a line quickly forms.

With a digital photobooth, this limitation disappears.

All guests can take their photos simultaneously, wherever they are.

The more guests there are, the more memories you collect.

Complete customization

With Livenly, the couple creates their own photo frame using the built-in builder.

They can customize:

• colors;

• fonts;

• illustrations;

• the date;

• the first names;

• the logo;

• decorative elements.

Each wedding thus has its own graphic universe.

Guests can then add stickers to make their photos even more original.

An immediately available keepsake

After each photo, guests can:

• download their picture;

• share it with their loved ones;

• post it on social media;

• find it in their personal gallery.

They leave with a digital keepsake that is immediately available.

The couple automatically receives all the photos

One of the main advantages of the digital photobooth is centralization.

All photos are automatically saved in a collaborative gallery.

The couple no longer needs to request photos for several weeks after the wedding.

They are already gathered in one place.

A more responsible solution

The digital photobooth limits:

• paper prints;

• ink cartridges;

• consumables;

• transporting equipment;

• waste.

Photos remain accessible at any time, without generating systematic printing.

The Pocket Booth photobooth from Livenly

Guests access the photobooth via a QR Code or a link received by SMS or email. They can take a photo, apply a fully customized frame created by the couple, add stickers, immediately download their creation, and automatically find it in the collaborative gallery. At Livenly, the photobooth is a complete activity, among 15 other activities (Questions for the couple, crossword puzzles, Duo...), in addition to sharing photos and videos.

For each photobooth created, your guests earn points to climb the leaderboard (optional feature).

Two modes of use

• Smartphone: each guest has their own photobooth.
• Tablet: a tablet on a tripod recreates the experience of a classic photo booth while enjoying Livenly's features.

Much more than a photobooth

The photobooth is just one of the features included in Livenly. The platform also includes the wedding program, guest management, RSVPs, the collaborative photo gallery, the Wedding Game, the digital guestbook, quizzes, photo challenges, and thank you notes.
