How to Choose a Wedding Photo Booth: Classic, Mirror or 360°
Pick your perfect pose
Planning a wedding means making hundreds of small decisions, and choosing entertainment for your guests is one of the fun ones. A photo booth is no longer just a box with a camera. Today you can choose a classic photo booth, an elegant mirror booth or a dynamic 360° video platform, and each one sets a different mood. This guide will help you work out which suits your celebration best, whether it’s at a guesthouse near Jēkabpils, a restaurant in Daugavpils or a countryside venue outside Preiļi.
Start with your venue and space
The first question is simple: how much room do you have? A classic photo booth is compact. It needs a modest corner and a backdrop behind the guests, so it fits comfortably into smaller, cosier halls. A mirror booth is tall and slim, but it needs open floor space in front so the whole group and their props fit into the shot.
The 360° video platform needs the most room, because the camera rotates around guests on a moving arm. It requires a clear, safe circle with no tables or chairs nearby, plus a flat, level floor. If you’re celebrating in a marquee or a garden, think about a firm, even surface and some cover overhead. Not sure about measurements? Send us a photo or floor plan of the venue and we’ll help you check.
Guest numbers and the flow of the evening
For smaller weddings of around 30 to 50 guests, one photo booth is usually plenty and queues rarely form. For larger parties, it’s often smarter to book more hours rather than several devices at once. Guests tend to visit in waves: after dinner, between games and after the cake.
Both the photo booth and the mirror booth print photos on the spot, and our packages include unlimited prints, so every guest can take a keepsake home. The 360° platform creates short videos that are perfect for social media but leave no physical souvenir, which is why many couples pair it with one of the booths.
Style: which mood feels like you?
- Classic photo booth – playful and relaxed, with props, hats and glasses. Great if you want guests to let loose and forget about being camera-shy.
- Mirror booth – elegant full-length shots and an interactive screen that chats with guests. A natural match for classic, stylish weddings.
- 360° video platform – movement, music and slow-motion clips. Ideal for dance lovers and anyone who wants to share videos the same night.
Every option comes with an operator who helps guests, looks after the equipment and keeps the energy up.

Combos: the best of both worlds
Can’t decide? You don’t have to pick just one. A popular combination is a photo booth or mirror booth together with the 360° platform: guests get prints and you get dynamic videos. Another lovely idea is to add the retro phone audio guest book, where guests record spoken wishes. When you book two or more services, we take 10% off the total.
