It was a wedding day of one of my closest friends. So, our group of friends flocked to the venue. When we reached there, we met the bride and the groom. Then we decided to be on our own. The venue was a large one and there, close to the place where the bride and the groom were sitting, was something amazing. Our friend had installed a photo boot there. And almost anybody could go there and get his or her photo clicked. We did that. And after we were done, I chose a seat close to the photo booth.
What I saw was amazing! People showed enough interest in the wedding event. But they were quite formal there. But as soon as they glanced upon the wedding photo booth, it seemed that they felt more comfortable. They could start unwinding themselves right in the photo booth. And it's not an easy thing, keeping in mind the fact that although it's hidden, yet everybody is aware that somewhere in the photo booth, there must be a camera to click the most amazing moments.
And so it did.
When we later glanced through the album of the wedding day, we found that almost all the guests had their pictures clicked in the photo booth at the event. And the pictures showed that they were able to really reach the summit of their enjoyment while inside the photo booth. They could do almost whatever they wanted, posed the way they wished. And the pictures perfectly reflected the jovial mood they were in.
This was surely one of the best examples to show why almost every wedding these days needs to set up a wedding photo booth!
