This post is all about Glambooths, or Glam-booth, or glamorous photo booth? What really is a glam booth?
Wedding Glam Booth
When we mention a glam booth, we are specifically mentioning a wedding glam booth, which is a type of photo booth for weddings. Frankly, I am not aware of where the phrase glam booth started, but it’s often used to describe a number of photo booth features as opposed to an actual photo booth itself. People may ask for a glam booth by name, “do you offer a glam booth photo booth?” and some photo booth vendors may be confused by this if they don’t offer a specific glam booth. Ultimately, a glam booth is more similar in terms of what the term “glam booth” actually describes, to an open air photo booth, as calling a “360 photo booth” a “spin-cam” is. (And in our area spincam is actually a company, so that extra careful territory.) Glam booths are common at weddings, but are not wedding exclusive, a glam booth can be used at any event from a school dance to a sweet 16.

What does a glam booth consist of?
Glambooth is simply an open air photo booth with specific backdrop and filter options. Here are some key customizations that are common on a photo booth to make it a glambooth. Some companies may have a specific photo booth package for this, some may not.
Key inclusions of a Glambooth:
- High Quality Camera and Flash for professional quality photos (Separate camera, not just an iPad)
- Black and White or “Monochrome” filter on all photos
- Single photo in a landscape or horizontal orientation
- Minimalist photo print template with simple text such as the initials of the bride and groom in the top right corner
- White stretch frame “pillow” backdrop
If you owned a photo booth company as I do, you would see that a glambooth is a very simple set of features that are generally already offered with many photo booths, and not necessarily its own package.
Can I customize a glam booth?
Absolutely, it’s more about the company you decide to work with than the booth itself, at IT’S LIT Weddings and Events, we are always willing to customize your photo booth! Some ways you can customize the glambooth to your liking include: changing the filter, or allowing guests to select other filter (including color), changing the template to your liking, or switching up the format completely. With modern photo booth technology, the possibilities are endless!
Where can I find a glambooth?
You can find glam booths available at most photo booth companies. Usually you’ll find plenty of companies offering them at bridal shows, even if a company doesn’t advertise glam-booths, they may still offer them, or be able to achieve it after reading this post (laugh, haha).
