Wedding photo booth: how to get photos of the whole evening too

The line at the photo booth is usually the liveliest spot in the room, but most wedding photos are taken somewhere else, on guests' phones at the tables and on the dance floor. Here's what a booth costs and how to collect your guests' photos alongside it.

In short

• A photo booth keeps guests entertained for three hours in one corner of the room, but it won't give you photos of the whole wedding.
• Guests take most of the wedding photos on their phones, and if you don't give them a QR code, the photos stay there.
• Want a booth? Get one, and put the QR code by the line in front of it, because that's where guests stand with their phones in hand.

What a photo booth costs

Public price lists from rental companies in September 2026 put a wedding photo booth at roughly CZK 5,000–12,000 for three hours. For that money, even the uncle who dodges every camera ends up in the booth. He puts on heart-shaped glasses and takes the photo home on paper.

Udalist doesn't print photos for guests to take home, so if you want paper prints, a booth makes sense.

What a photo booth won't capture

A booth only photographs the people who step into it, and always in the same corner. When grandma wipes away a tear during a speech, that moment never makes it to the booth.

Keep an eye on the time, too. If the booth opens at nine, a three-hour package ends at midnight while the music keeps playing. So check the closing time in the contract.

Your guests have the whole wedding on their phones

The next day, guests promise to send you their photos, but a week later nobody is thinking about it and everything stays on their phones.

All you need to do is give them a QR code. They scan it with their phone, type a name and upload photos straight to your gallery. They don't install anything or create an account, so even the aunt who usually emails photos one at a time can manage it. The comparison with WhatsApp and Google Drive shows why a group chat won't do the job.

You'll find what a wedding gallery costs on the pricing page.

How to combine a photo booth with guest photos

1. Put the QR code by the line for the booth. People waiting in line have their phones in hand and a few minutes to spare, so they'll upload their photos from the evening right there. You'll find more good spots in the room in the guide to where to put the QR code.
2. Get the digital originals into the contract. Guests take the paper prints home, so ask the rental company in advance whether you'll get the files too, and by when. The date matters, because uploads to the gallery stay open for 2 days on the free plan and 7 days on Premium.
3. Upload the booth photos to the gallery. When the files arrive, open the event, click "Add memories" and select them. They'll sit next to your guests' photos, and you can download them all in one ZIP. If the rental company misses the deadline, you can extend uploads on Premium.
