In short

A photo booth gives you posed pictures with props and often an instant print, but you pay to hire it and it needs space and power. Filmriss is free, needs no setup, and guests capture the candid moments all over the party.

Pros & cons

Being fair: first, what the others do better.

Where the photo booth wins

  • An instant print to take home – a party favour.
  • Props and a backdrop are fun and get people into group shots.
  • Good lighting, even late in the evening.

Verdict

You can have both – they complement each other.

The photo booth takes the posed group shots, Filmriss covers the rest of the night. If you only want one and there’s no budget for the booth, a QR code gets you a long way.
