These days, we end up slinging photographs onto Facebook albums, only to forget them a month later. But nothing quite beats getting a printed photo to put up on your wall, right? Thanks to the saving grace of photobooth rental services, you can relive that long-lost feeling all over again. Besides, photobooths are a great way to get your guests in the mood for all manner of celebratory shenanigans! For those times when a .jpg just won’t do, we’ve sussed out some of the best photobooth services on the isle.
Hello Stranger
Worried that some of your less-outgoing guests won’t be too comfortable with taking fun, candid photos? With Hello Stranger, in addition to instant photo printing and top class professional lighting and camera systems, you’ll get an ambassador who’ll help get even the most camera-shy party-goer to strike a pose. It even has an affiliated wedding service called Hello Forever, giving you some romantic lighting treatment that your special day deserves.

Instaprint
Take the photobooth phenomenon to social media! Unlike the other mentioned photobooth services, you’ll be doing all the photography yourself here, so make sure you get your best Instagrammer friend to snap the shot. Once you’ve taken a photo on Instagram (and thrown in your fave filter), just post it with the event hashtag, and your tagged photos will appear on a slideshow before being printed out.
Instaprint, p. 9180 8631.
Fourstops
Play superhero, pirate or rockstar with Four Stops’ massive collection of zany props. Pick one of its four packages, and you won’t only snag high-quality instant prints taken by a professional photographer, but also full-resolution digital photos that you can store on your com. And for your info, booking one of Four Stops’ roving photographers along with a photobooth will net you some pretty attractive discounts – yes, you heard it from us!

Babooth
If you were at our Orange Oasis party, you’ll be familiar with these cheery, gung-ho snappers from Babooth. We had a blast playing with their props and getting our most unglam, silly mugs captured by its fun-loving photobooth team. They even have a slow-motion video booth if you’d rather capture your guests in slow-mo weirdness! We dare you not to laugh at the results.

Busybody
When you’ve gotten into the groove of a fun photobooth session, the last thing you want is for it to be marred by a long queue of grumpy guests and slow printing. With Busybody, all it takes is eight seconds for a high quality print! You’ll also get a personalised logo designed by its team of designers. How’s that for a moment worth remembering?
