Hiring a Wedding Photo Booth in East Anglia: The Do’s and Dont’s

When it comes to wedding entertainment, a photo booth is one of the most-loved additions — and for good reason. It gets guests laughing, mingling, and creating memories that last far beyond your big day.

But if you’ve never hired a photo booth before, it’s easy to get overwhelmed or end up with something that doesn’t fit your vibe.

Here are the key do’s and don’ts to keep in mind when hiring a wedding photo booth in East Anglia, especially if you’re after that premium, stylish experience for your Norfolk or Suffolk wedding.

✅ DO: Choose a Photo Booth That Matches Your Wedding Style

Not all photo booths are created equal. From the backdrop to the user interface to the way the booth is styled, it should complement your aesthetic, not clash with it.

Planning a rustic barn wedding in Suffolk? A vintage-style booth with wooden accents could fit beautifully. Hosting a modern celebration at a Norfolk estate? Go for a sleek, minimalist booth with clean lines.

Pro tip: Ask for real wedding photos of the booth setup — not just studio shots.

❌ DON’T: Go for the Cheapest Option

It might be tempting to pick the most affordable booth on the list, but you get what you pay for. Cheaper booths often come with poor lighting, grainy image quality, limited customisation, and unprofessional setups.

This is your wedding — if photography matters to you, make sure your photo booth images are something you'd be proud to share or frame.

✅ DO: Check What’s Actually Included

Before booking, ask exactly what’s included in the package. A premium provider should offer:

• Optio to have unlimited photo sessions

• Custom-branded photo templates

• Backdrop options that match your theme

• Digital gallery access

• Optional extras like guestbooks, selfie frames or personalised props

Make sure there are no hidden fees for travel to rural parts of Norfolk or Suffolk.

❌ DON’T: Forget to Ask About Setup and Staffing

Some booths are "DIY" style — dropped off and left for you to manage. Others come with a professional attendant who takes care of everything.

For a stress-free experience, opt for a provider who sets up, supervises, and packs down without needing you or your bridal party to lift a finger.

Bonus points if they liaise directly with your venue or wedding planner (like we can!).

✅ DO: Look for Local Expertise in East Anglia

Hiring a local photo booth company who regularly works across Norfolk, Suffolk, and the surrounding East Anglia area means:

• They know the venues.

• They’re nearby in case of last-minute changes.

• You’re supporting a regional supplier with a solid reputation.

Plus, it makes logistics much easier — no long-distance travel charges or unfamiliar setups.

❌ DON’T: Underestimate the Power of Good Lighting

Lighting can make or break your photos. A premium booth should include professional studio lighting that flatters all skin tones, works well indoors or at night, and delivers sharp, beautiful photos every time.

If you're investing in hair, makeup, and outfits — make sure your photo booth does them justice.

✅ Final Word: Your Wedding Deserves Better Than a Tacky Booth

At the end of the day, your photo booth should feel like a natural extension of your wedding — not an eyesore in the corner.

Choose a premium, well-reviewed company that understands style, service, and the little details that make a big difference. If you’re planning a wedding in Norfolk, Suffolk, or anywhere in East Anglia, we’d love to help you create a booth experience your guests will rave about.
