Short answer
Yes, photo booths are still very popular at UK weddings. They give guests a fun activity and create keepsakes. Many couples now choose DIY setups with tablets and backdrops, or hire a professional booth with prints and props. They work well for all ages.
Photo booths remain a firm favourite because they break the ice and give guests something to do during drinks or the evening reception. They are not just for young people; grandparents and children enjoy them too. The photos become a lovely reminder of the day, whether they are printed on the spot or shared online.
You do not need to spend a lot. A simple DIY booth with a backdrop, a camera, and props can be just as fun as a hired one. Hired booths often include an attendant, unlimited prints, and a guestbook, which takes the pressure off you and your wedding party. Decide what matters most: prints, digital copies, or the overall look.
Some couples skip the traditional booth and use a polaroid camera or a tablet with a photo app instead. Others create a themed corner with a backdrop and a sign. The key is to make it easy and inviting. If guests know what to do, they will use it. You can also ask guests to add photos to a shared album using a QR code, so you get all the images afterwards.
