Wedding Photo Booth Trends 2025
Modern Wedding Photo Booth Trends 2025
Published August 2025 • Written by Gatwick Sound Photobooth
Wedding photo booth trends in the UK for 2025 are all about combining elegant design, modern technology, and unforgettable guest experiences. From romantic flower wall backdrops and lively bridesmaid moments to colourful props, big group selfies, and the charming Retro Magic Mirror, couples across South England are choosing set-ups that reflect their venue and personality. In this guide, we explore the most popular styles, how they work in real weddings, and tips for selecting the perfect wedding booth or event photography station.
Elegant Flower Wall Backdrops
Flower walls remain a timeless choice for any wedding photo station in 2025. Popular palettes range from soft blush tones perfect for Sussex barn weddings, to lush greenery for Surrey country houses, and chic monochrome designs for luxury London hotels. A well-chosen wall not only enhances every image but also complements your overall décor.
Decide between faux flowers for consistency throughout the evening, or fresh blooms for a rich scent and organic look. For seaside receptions in Brighton or Worthing, lighter pastel arrangements photograph beautifully in natural light.
Tip: Match your print template details to your flower colours for a perfectly curated gallery.
Fun Bridesmaids Moments
Bridesmaid moments are where the energy truly comes alive. In 2025, trending props include personalised signs with the couple’s names, themed masks, and stylish accessories that don’t overshadow dresses. Whether at a countryside estate in Kent or a rooftop London venue, these light-hearted sessions give the bridal party a chance to relax and have fun.
Good lighting is key — soft, flattering light ensures every image is instantly shareable. Our guest photo experience packages include curated props and professional lighting so these spontaneous moments look as polished as posed portraits.
Tip: Give your bridesmaids mini prompts like “best laugh” or “show the bouquet” to spark creative, natural poses.
Colourful Props for Everyone
Colourful props remain a hit with guests of all ages. Keep a variety: vintage glamour (feather boas, mini top hats), party fun (quirky glasses, witty signs), and elegant minimal (simple, photo-friendly pieces). This variety ensures grandparents and teens alike find something they love.
More prop variety means a richer gallery of images. With professional cameras and refined lighting, every sparkle, sequin, and texture is captured beautifully — whether at a Sussex marquee wedding or a chic city celebration.
Tip: Set up a prop station close to both the booth and dance floor to keep the fun flowing.
Group Selfies at the Booth
Few things capture the atmosphere of a wedding better than a big group selfie. The open-air Selfie Pod is ideal for this — it fits more guests into the shot, speeds up queues, and keeps everyone involved. Instant sharing via email or QR code is now standard in 2025.
Technology matters here: fast photo processing, reliable printing or digital galleries, and seamless sharing ensure the experience is smooth. This is especially important for larger weddings in Kent, Surrey, or London where guest flow matters.
Tip: Schedule group shots around key moments, like after the cake cutting or just before the first dance, for maximum turnout.
More 2025 Trends to Consider
Retro Magic Mirror – Vintage Aesthetic, Modern Tech
The Retro Magic Mirror combines nostalgic design with modern photography and instant prints. It creates a film-inspired atmosphere and becomes a statement piece at your reception. Learn more and book at our Retro Mirror Photo Booth page.
Video Guestbooks
A modern twist on the guestbook: short, personal video messages recorded throughout the night. They’re especially fun later in the evening when the party is in full swing. Files are delivered in a private gallery for the couple to download.
Custom Animations & Templates
Custom animations with names, dates, or monograms make your images truly personal. Match the graphics to your invitations or décor for a cohesive visual story. The Magic Mirror Photo Booth offers endless creative options here.
How to Choose the Right Booth
- Venue: Barn or spacious marquee? A larger backdrop like a flower wall works well. Smaller venues benefit from the compact Selfie Pod’s open-air design.
- Guest count: The bigger the group, the more important fast throughput and wide-angle lenses become.
- Style: Romantic, modern, or vintage? The Magic Mirror offers a sleek interactive experience, while the Retro Mirror delivers character and nostalgia.
- Sharing & Prints: Decide whether instant physical prints, fast digital sharing, or both are most important to you.
