Why Guest Cam is better than Instax

Posted on 2025-07-172025-05-22 by In the Booth

EVENT INSPIRATION

Wedding Guest Cam or Wedding Instax?

Wedding Instax or Guest Cam? We’re breaking down the features of both services on the blog today. Be forewarned, we’re Team Guest Cam – for obvious reasons! When Guest Cam was designed way back in 2015, we’d already been in the wedding industry for six years. We saw couples over and over again trying to make the disposable camera, or wedding Instax, work. Spoiler alert: it just didn’t.

We can guarantee no wedding day is spot-on perfect. There are things that won’t go quite right or run smoothly. The first point is acceptance! The second point is to plan, plan, plan. The magic is in the details. The most unexpected things can cause hiccups on your day. Instant cameras may seem like a pretty small hiccup but if you’ve paid for an item and you’re looking forward to the photos, it can be heartbreaking when it doesn’t work out.

We saw contact issues with disposable and Instax wedding cameras which we’ll detail below. So we set about designing a feature that would give all the fun of a polaroid camera without any of the wedding day stress.

Camera Cost

Instax cameras are expensive! One camera is not enough to satisfy a crowd of wedding guests. You’ll have cries of “where’s the camera” if you don’t provide multiple Instax wedding cameras – preferable one per guest table. With ten tables and roughly $100 a camera, you’re at $1000 before you even start. And we haven’t talked about film yet….

On the flip side, Guest Cam is fully included in your photo booth hire package. This means unlimited instant prints from both the photo booth itself AND Guest Cam prints. Your guests can go to town and you won’t be adding the film bill in your head from the bridal table. Every guest with a device has the fun in their hands.

Image Quality

Sure, Instax wedding cameras have that polaroid appeal. However more often than not the photos simply don’t work out. You’ll get black photos or lighting that wipes out your guests’ faces. Incorrect placement under a reception venue downlight will have your photos looking more Halloween than wedding!

Guest Cam print quality is dictated by your guests’ device. With smart phone camera quality improving literally by the day, photos from your phone are guaranteed to be better quality than Instax. Your phone will automatically make adjustments for differing lighting situations that Instax isn’t capable of.

Digital Copies

As fun as vintage polaroids are it can be frustrating to not have digital copies. We live in a digital world and social sharing, email and texting are all part of our landscape. Guests absolutely love sharing their digital photos on the fly from special events.

Guest Cam means not only do they have a printed copy but they retain their digital copy as well. This allows freedom to print out favourite images. later and the flexibility of larger sized files. Yes, you can snap a digital photo of an Instax print. However the quality will be questionable at best.

Unlimited Prints

This one’s a biggie. Film for Instax wedding cameras can easily overtake your bill of the cameras themselves. Film cartridges take around 10 shots which works out to around $1.50 a photo! Trust us when we say ten prints won’t take two seconds once your guests get a hold of the camera. In this day and age we’re used to our phones letting us take as many photos as we want. Gone are the days of having to preserve our precious 24 shots on film! Guests tend to get pretty snap happy – after all, they’re not paying your film bill.

In comparison, Guest Cam will print away all night and you know the cost is set. Your all-inclusive booth hire includes as many Guest Cam as your guests can snap during your hire.

Film Reloading

Weddings are hectic affairs. Guests are excited and they’re consuming a few drinks! What may seem simple in regards to replacing Instax film cartridges can get very complicated. If guests haven’t used an instant camera before, they’ll struggle to know what to do. We’ve seen wasted film and broken cameras. It can all turn into a very expensive exercise.

Meanwhile, your photo booth attendant will be on hand for anything your guests need to know about Guest Cam. If they go crazy, printer paper will be seamlessly replaced. If they don’t know how to access our app, our attendant will happily give any guest a live demo.

Oh yeah..and the photo booth!

If it’s a vintage experience you’re searching for with Instax wedding or Polaroid cameras, our booth will deliver. Remember, it’s not just Guest Cam your guests get to enjoy when you hire your photo booth from In the Booth.

Guest Cam comes part and parcel with our entire photo booth. We can guarantee 100% that the fun found in a photo booth simply can’t be found with Instax wedding cameras. The sleek automation of the booth means guests can focus on the most important thing -having fun with each other. No responsibilities, no broken equipment and no cares. Just endless fun and endless memories from one of the most special days of your life.

VISIT THE FARM

In the Booth Adelaide’s first visit to Marybank Farm

In the Booth Adelaide were super excited to head out to Marybank Farm for the first time. The auspicious occasion was Craig and Sarah’s wedding day! The weather was everything you could hope for in a late Spring day with the temperature reminding us all why Spring weddings are so popular!

The bridal party resembled a catwalk with the gentlemen in black tuxedos and the ladies in a stunning gum-leaf green. Florals were a beautiful mix of native flowers and greenery along with some soft pastel roses. The ceremony garland that adorned the arbour as Craig and Sarah said their vows took your breath away! Florals were certainly a centrepiece of the day with more blooms featured on guest ceremony chairs and statement pieces on the couple’s incredible cake.

Craig and Sarah’s young daughters took centre-stage in their stunning flower girl outfits and gained ooh’s and aah’s a plenty! Guests were invited to enjoy an indoor/outdoor style reception with lights gently coming on as sunset approached. Dancing under the stars was in order after formalities along with some raucous action in the photo booth! Guest Cam was a huge hit amongst Craig and Sarah’s guests with many open photobooth memories captured throughout the evening.

Photo Booth Instant Prints

Craig and Sarah chose one of our favourite ‘Tied The Knot’ designs for their print template. If you’re overwhelmed or don’t have a particular theme for your day, ‘Tied The Knot’ is a simplistic yet gorgeous choice. When all else fails, go with black and white! It’s fun font offers a touch of whimsy while still providing a timeless feel. Don’t forget your photo booth prints will seamlessly match your Guest Cam photos as well.

A note from the Bride…

Adelaide Wedding

“Having a fun and relaxed environment was really important to us. It is who we are as people, and we didn’t want to change that for our wedding day. We wanted a rustic garden vibe and that is exactly why we chose Marybank Farm. It was more than we could’ve ever imagined. Being able to share the day with our two daughters, Olivia and Scarlett, made it just that bit more special for us too”.

Sparkler Exit: How To!

Posted on 2025-06-262025-05-21 by In the Booth

EVENT INSPIRATION

How to plan a Sparkler Exit for your wedding

There’s something undeniably magical about ending your wedding night with a sparkler exit. As the sky darkens and your celebration winds down, this glowing farewell creates a perfect, photographer-worthy finale. Not only does it add a burst of excitement, but it also invites your guests to share in one last unforgettable moment. With golden lights twinkling all around, you and your partner are sent off into your new life together.

Sparkler exits have quickly become a favorite among modern couples, and it’s easy to see why. They’re fun, festive, and incredibly photogenic. More importantly, they bring everyone together for a final celebration before the night ends. Sometimes wedding exits can be a bit of an unorganised affair with no official goodbye. Sparklers turn the moment into a celebration of its own.

Of course, planning a sparkler exit takes more than just buying a few boxes of sparklers. Timing, location, and weather all play essential roles. You’ll want to coordinate with your photographer and venue to ensure everything goes off without a hitch. From choosing the right type of sparkler to organising your guests, a little preparation goes a long way.

In this blog, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know to create the perfect sparkler exit. So, if you’re dreaming of a magical, light-filled ending to your big day, you’re in the right place. Let’s get started and spark some ideas!

WEDDINGS

Buy the big ones!

You definitely want the extra large sparklers for maximum effect and burn time. The little ones are good for a birthday cake but you don’t want them flaming out before the bride and groom appear! The long sparklers give you much more to play with and greater effect. Guests can also raise them higher for an archway effect as the bride and groom pass through.

Displaying your sparklers

Here’s a little secret about distributing sparklers. They’re hard for guests to grab! Our best advice is some large metal pails filled partway with sand. The sparklers will stand up in the pails beautifully and it will be easy for guests to grab their individual sparkler quickly. Place the pails directly in the path of where guests will pass through and have a Sparkler Attendant ready to help to make it faster.

Light me up

This is not the time for matches or an old gas flicker you grabbed from the second drawer at home. Buy at least half a dozen brand new gas fire lighters or “flickers” and have them fully tested and ready to go. These items are also easily misplaced at weddings so ensure the person in charge of your sparkler exit knows where they are and who they’re to be handed out to.

Appoint a sparkler coordinator

Yep, you heard us right! It’s essential someone is in charge of your sparkler exit and knows what’s going on. You need someone you can trust who knows what is going to be happening, what time and who needs to be where. Good organisation is essential for a sparkler exit or the magic will be lost in disorganisation. Not to mention your photographer will struggle to get a cohesive picture.

Have multiple lighting assistants

This is a big one. If you leave the sparkler lighting up to one person or trust guests to light each other’s the result will be a mistimed mess – trust us on this! The trick is to have your guests organised into two roughly even lines. Your lighting assistants then space themselves evenly along each line and light every few sparklers. The guests in between then light each others. The result will be a sparkler exit that’s lit quickly with all guest sparklers burning at the same time for maximum effect.

Polite requests

These are not photos you want Uncle Dan capturing on his iPad. Leave these special photos to the professionals. To coordinate this, have your MC make an announcement prior to guests being invited outside. Politely request that all guests take part in the exit rows or steer clear of the end of the sparkler tunnel to make way for your photographer. Your photographer does not want to be juggling getting the magic shot while avoiding Uncle Dan and his iPad!

Rainy Day Wedding Ideas

Posted on 2025-06-192025-05-20 by In the Booth

EVENT INSPIRATION

Rainy Day Wedding Ideas

We’ve been in the wedding industry for over sixteen years and those years have taught us a thing or two! First and foremost, when it comes to events, be prepared for everything. There’s nothing like the war stories shared by wedding vendors about their past events! Professional vendors always have a Plan B in place, but it’s important that our customers are on board with a Plan B too.

It goes without saying, we all want Plan A. We all dream of a sunny day – couples and vendors alike! A sunny day is easier for photographers, hair and makeup and yes – even the photo booth! Unfortunately we don’t always get what we ordered when it comes to weather. The first part is acceptance; accepting that the weather may not be perfect and planning accordingly. The second part is realising that rain, hail or shine, your day can still be perfect in every way.

IN THE BOOTH WEDDINGS

Clear Umbrellas

Our #1 lifesaver. Not all rainy day weddings are total wash outs. Some may just experience a light shower. Wedding guests won’t always come prepared and, even if they do, your Grandad’s massive Bunnings umbrella may not be welcomed by your photographer! The classic clear umbrella allows minimal disruption to your wedding photos and adds a cohesive effect to your rainy day wedding ceremony. Bets of all, they’re budget friendly. Make sure you check Facebook Marketplace for gently used umbrellas as well!

Clear Marquee

No doubt, a clear marquee will add extra expense to your budget. However what it adds in dollars it will remove ten-fold in stress. Consider enquiring for quotes for clear marquees close to your wedding day if it looks like weather could dampen proceedings. A clear marquee is the Big Daddy to clear umbrellas and may be a consideration if it’s expected to be quite wet. Guests won’t need to. manage umbrellas (and their run-off). Your photography will be unobstructed as the marquee will still let in plenty of natural light.

Bring the Outdoors Indoors

It can be pretty disheartening to awaken to a rainy day wedding and we get it! It’s time to refocus. Plan on decor that can easily moved indoors, either to be repurposed or able to be flexible for a new location altogether. Beautiful greenery and flowers can bring the outdoors in. Many receptions are indoors anyway so talk to your venue about options for an indoor ceremony in the event of poor weather. They’ve travelled this road many times and are sure to have some awesome ideas!

Make It Moody

Embrace nature and go with the flow! Have you considered ‘making it moody’ as your Plan B? If the weather is particularly dark and threatening, go with it. Go for an intimate indoor ceremony draped in lush fabric and candlelight. Depending on your venue, they may have the capacity to move your ceremony indoors into a smaller function room. Smaller = easier to decorate! Don’t forget that dim lighting is super dramatic and hides a multitude of sins. Get your Great Gatsby on and be inspired!

Professionals Need Only Apply

Poor weather is where the rubber hits the road when it comes to your photography. An experienced photographer will have a plan in place and have a shot list ready to work around any weather challenges the day may throw at you. A skilled photographer will also rise to the challenge of creating some truly unique photographs that will have you forgetting it even rained on your day.

It’s always dry In the Booth!

It’s reception time! Even if your ceremony was a little damp, the night is young and it’s time to celebrate being married! Above all else, don’t let the weather dampen your spirits for your day. Remember why you’re here and who you’re here with. A wedding i just the first day of the rest of your lives which will have rain, hail and shine. Get ready to party and remember – it’s always sunny inside the booth!

Event Fireworks

Posted on 2025-06-122025-05-20 by In the Booth

EVENT INPIRATION

Event Fireworks

Fireworks can bring that “wow” factor to your wedding or celebration. Fireworks have that magic element that is guaranteed to hold your guests’ attention and have them talking about your event long after the last twinkle has disappeared from the sky. Event fireworks are a great option for your entertainment schedule however there’s a few things you need to consider in regards to their suitability. Today on the blog we’ll break down a number of different factors for you to consider when deciding if event fireworks are the right fit for your celebration.

FIREWORKS INSPIRATION

Budget

No matter your dreams or aspirations, that pesky budget often needs to come first! Event fireworks are known are being big on impact – both in their effects and on your budget! Sadly fireworks can be a costly added extra. Don’t get us wrong – they’re well worth the Disney-style magic they’ll bring to your event. However, they often need to be put in the “extras” column until your event essentials are covered.

Venue Requirements

First things first. Check with your venue to find out if fireworks are an option at your chosen location. Council restrictions on noise and safety may come into play to see if fireworks are event legally possible. Fireworks make noise and take up space! Your venue will be your first point of call to see if they are aware if firework displays are permitted in your location.

Weather Factors

Weather plays a big part in a successful fireworks display. Rain and even wind can play havoc on the day. Check with your fireworks supplier at length to see what their policies are on last-minute cancellations due to weather. You may need to be ready to accept a loss if the fireworks display is unable to proceed due to weather. If fireworks are a big part of your entertainment, what will your Plan B be instead?

Colours

Now onto the fun part! Chat to your fireworks supplier about your options. Fireworks come in every colour of the rainbow! Imagine a display that complements your wedding theme or corporate colours. The sky is (literally) the limit! Colours also double with effects. Certain fireworks will offer certain colours or effects. Your supplier will be able to advise what is possible in regards to design and choreography.

Music

Does your firework supplier include music as part of your package? Will the music track play separately or will the fireworks be choreographed to the sound? This will all come down to the level of package you’ve hired and the customisable options available. Ask to see video samples of the various options so you can make an educated and budget-wise decision.

Timing

When will your display commence? How will guests be directed to the correct area? These questions will require coordinator between your venue coordinator and your fireworks supplier. Timing is everything and it takes time to move guests from one area to another. Make sure this time is factored into your timeline – the last thing you want is a fireworks display starting with no one to see it!

Tamborine Mountain Glades Wedding for Ben & Sarah

Posted on 2025-05-082025-05-16 by In the Booth

FORMERLY CEDAR CREEK LODGES

Tamborine Mountain Glades Wedding for Ben & Sarah

Weddings are often a reflection of a couple’s shared story, but few manage to blend romance, personality, and pure originality as seamlessly as Ben and Sarah’s unforgettable celebration at Tamborine Mountain Glades in the stunning Gold Coast Hinterland. With views stretching across rolling hills, lush greenery, and the dramatic backdrop of nature’s finest canvas, the setting alone was magical. However, it was the personal touches that truly made this day legendary.

TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN GLADES

Tamborine Mountain Glades Wedding

From the start, guests knew they were in for something different. Rather than sticking to traditional pastels or earthy tones, Sarah, a lifelong Mortal Kombat fan, drew inspiration from her favorite game. The bridesmaid dresses popped with fierce hues, echoing the characters. Each colour told its own story, yet together they harmonised perfectly with the rich, bold floral arrangements that framed the ceremony. Dramatic shades set the tone for a wedding that was bold, beautiful, and entirely authentic.

Meanwhile, Ben looked every bit the smitten groom as he waited patiently for Sarah’s arrival. The Glades’ natural charm offered the perfect contrast to the wedding’s vibrant colour scheme, creating a balanced atmosphere where whimsy met elegance.

Then came one of the most anticipated moments of the day: the arrival of the ring bearer. In trotted the couple’s beloved fur-baby—tail wagging, bowtie shining, and rings safely secured! The crowd erupted into laughter and applause. This sweet touch not only tugged at heartstrings but also spoke volumes about the couple’s shared love for their furry family member.

Gold Coast Photo Booth Hire to get the party started

Soon after, Sarah made her grand entrance. Her gown, a breathtaking blend of classic design and subtle edge, featured intricate embroidery that suited her style to perfection. As she walked down the aisle, even their pup seemed momentarily in awe!

The ceremony itself was a heartfelt blend of sincerity and joy. The celebrant spoke of how Ben and Sarah met, their chance meeting via an app and their shared passions such as travel. Their amazing and super unique beach slash minion cake got plenty of laughs too! In the Booth Gold Coast went off with a bang and entertained the guests throughout the evening.

In the end, Ben and Sarah didn’t just host a wedding. They threw an experience. One filled with emotion, colour, creativity, and canine charm. Their wedding at Tamborine Mountain Glades wasn’t just a day to remember—it was a love story brought vividly to life, with every detail reflecting their shared adventure. And yes, it was flawless. Fatality-level flawless.

A note from the Bride…

Gold Coast Wedding

“We wanted our wedding to reflect our unique love story; being from opposite ends of the world, a chance date on an app led to years of travel to exotic places and an eventual move to Australia together. As I’m a bit of a Mortal Kombat fan, I was desperate for my bridesmaids to wear the female ninja colours, which meant that the flowers had to coordinate and how we ended up with a rainbow palette. Also, our fur baby was also our ring-bearer and a key part of our big day”.

Wedding Vendor Selection

Posted on 2025-02-202025-02-19 by In the Booth

Wedding vendor selection to enhance your wedding celebration is both daunting and exciting. On the plus side, there’s so many vendors and there’s no shortage of choice. On the down side, there’s so many vendors and so much choice 😉

From price to product, choosing the right wedding vendor can really make or break an awesome celebration. Here are our best tips for choosing the right wedding vendor for your big day.

Read plenty of reviews

Whether it be on Google, Easy Weddings, ABIA or from John and Nelly down the road, look for reviews not crafted by the business owner. Genuine feedback and reviews from past customers will always give you a great idea of what to expect on the day. Trust past client experience to give you an honest opinion – the good, the bad and the ugly!

Reputation is everything

We’ll say it once and we will say it again! A vendor with a great industry reputation is the right vendor for you. Choose the wedding vendor that is experienced and preferably has been to your venue before. Don’t select a vendor who thinks they should be paid to practice. Your venue refers certain vendors for a reason. Chat to them and find out why.

Product quality

Take a good look at the product offering. Does this visually meet your requirements? Ensure your vendor is using high quality equipment to give you a high quality experience. Let’s use photo booths as an example. At In the Booth we use a professional DSRL digital camera to capture your images in high resolution. An iPad or webcam camera will not produce high-quality photographs.

Inclusions & hidden extras

Make sure you check out all the inclusions that your vendor is able to offer for your hire period. Our photo booths are all inclusive in regards to our hire packages, meaning no sneaky extra fees or additional costs. For example, it’s common for a guest book to be an added extra with photo booth hire.

Wedding vendor support

Will your vendor be taking care of the delivery and set up on the day of your event or will you be left to do this yourself? Will someone be on hand if a guest has questions? With so many exciting things happening on your big day, the last thing you need to be doing is running around trying to put together your balloon garland!

Communication

Don’t make excuses for your wedding vendor communication! Taking weeks to respond to your queries is not acceptable even if they’ve “been busy”. Customer service is an essential part of event planning. There’s always someone waiting so planning can move forward. Quality vendors don’t keep their customers waiting.

Pets at Weddings

Posted on 2025-01-172025-01-17 by In the Booth

Pets at weddings are simply one of our favourite things! When all our family members are gathered it only makes sense to include our furry family members as well. There are so many super cute ways you can incorporate your pets into your wedding.

One of the first things to decide is whether it’s practical or possible to have your pets physically present at your wedding. Pets at weddings certainly add a new dynamic to proceedings! For example, if you’re having a destination wedding, your pets will most likely be off the invite list. However this certainly doesn’t mean you can still include them. Today on the blog we’ve got some great ideas for including pets at weddings either in person or from afar.

Hire a Pet Assistant Service

Wedding pet assistants are a fantastic way to keep the stress levels on your day low. Hiring a professional means you won’t have to worry about your pets being hungry, thirsty or…ahem…having accidents at inappropriate times. Wedding pet services are experienced at what they do and come prepared for all situations. What’s more, most also offer services where your pet can be taken home after their role in the day is complete. For example, your pet may be part of the ceremony but not able to attend the reception. The last thing you want to be worrying about is which family member has to take the unruly labradoodle home!

Pets at your Wedding Ceremony

Cue the ‘aaaawwwwww’s from your guests! Ring bearing pets are simply gorgeous and will get your entire guest list smiling, guaranteed. There are so many sweet options online for page boy and flower girl outfits for dogs and even cats! Remember this important job will depend on your best friend’s mood on the day. If they are particularly shy or extra rambunctious, it may be too much for them. However if your pet is well trained and loves people it’s probably the idea job for them on your wedding day!

Wedding Photos with your Pet

Definitely run this one past your photographer with plenty of time before your day so they can plan. Bridal party photos including your pets are gorgeous and will make such a sweet memory. Remember to request your photographer take some photos of you with your pet on their own too.

Pet Photo Table Numbers

If having your pet present on the day isn’t possible, consider incorporating them into your table numbers! Different photos of your pet on each table or small ornaments or models make super sweet details.

Pets on your Cake

This idea is one of our favourites. Talk to your wedding cake supplier about how your pets can be incorporated into your wedding cake. We’ve seen everything from custom toppers to paw prints and full sugar models! This is such a great way to include your pets in an important part of your wedding – after all, what guests doesn’t walk up for a close up look at the cake? Your cake supplier will help you think creatively by asking about your wedding theme and hobbies. For example, it’s difficult to include horses at a wedding but how about bride and groom horses as your cake topper?

Pets in the Photo Booth

Pets are always welcome in our booths and on Guest Cam! Nothing beats the memories captured with your furry friends on your wedding day. We encourage all our couples with pets at weddings to take them into the booth for some happy snaps! If you can’t bring them along, how about adding your pet’s image to your instant photo booth prints? That way every guest will take home a printed memory with your furry bestie included. Cardboard cut outs of your pets are also fantastic fun in the booth!
