Why More Couples Are Choosing Editorial-Style Photo Booths for Their Weddings

Weddings today are more than just celebrations -- they’re personal, intentional reflections of the couple at the center of it all. Every detail, from the floral arrangements to the font on the invitations, tells a story. So it makes sense that couples are thinking more critically about the kind of photo booth they bring into their day.

At Neon Flamingo, we’ve seen this shift firsthand. Couples aren’t just looking for something fun (though that’s still a top priority) -- they’re looking for something that fits. Something that enhances the experience without distracting from it. And most importantly, something that aligns with the look, feel, and vibe of the day they’ve spent months, sometimes years, planning.

That’s where editorial-style photo booths come in.

So, what is an editorial-style photo booth?

Editorial-style booths are all about clean design, flattering lighting, and timeless photos that wouldn’t look out of place in a fashion magazine. Think smooth skin tones, modern backdrops, and intentional compositions. There’s no overdone filters or gimmicky borders -- just crisp, beautifully lit images that your guests are proud to print, post, and keep.

These booths are for couples who want the booth photos to feel like part of the wedding, not just a quirky extra in the corner. They're perfect for weddings that lean modern, elegant, or romantic -- where style and storytelling matter as much as fun.

Not knocking the props (we love them too)

Let’s be clear: props aren’t the problem. We offer them. We love them. And we’ve seen how much joy they bring to certain events.

But not every celebration calls for inflatable saxophones or oversized sunglasses.

For couples who want their wedding day to feel timeless and elevated, editorial-style booths create a different kind of experience -- one that still invites joy and interaction, but with a more curated, intentional aesthetic.

It’s not about saying no to fun. It’s about saying yes to a style that supports your vision.

Why couples love editorial photo booths

Some of our most-loved experiences are built around this modern, elevated vibe.

Our Black & White Glam Booth is a client favorite for good reason. Inspired by classic studio portraits, it uses flattering lighting and smoothing effects to create high-contrast images that feel elegant, clean, and confident. Your guests won’t just take photos -- they’ll love how they look in them.

Looking for something interactive? Our Personalized Magazine Experience lets guests step into the spotlight and pose for their own custom magazine cover. We design it to match your theme, aesthetic, or sense of humor -- bridal fashion edition, wedding party spotlight, or something entirely original. It’s bold, fun, and personal, without compromising the overall vibe of your day.

Designed for your guests—and your style

Editorial-style booths aren’t just about the photos; they’re about the experience. They’re easy to use, fast to share, and completely guest-friendly. No long instructions. No awkward waiting around. Just walk up, pose, and walk away with a frame-worthy photo.

And let’s talk design. These booths blend beautifully into your space, especially if you’re working with a curated palette or layout. From backdrop selection to print templates, every detail can be styled to reflect your wedding’s personality -- without pulling focus or clashing with your décor.
