No Props: Why Minimal Photo Booths Are the New Wedding Trend

There was a time when wedding photo booths meant silly signs, plastic moustaches, and giant sunglasses. Heck this was the photo booth vibe at my wedding. It was fun, but I actually regret it.

Why? My guests and I were all dressed up to the nines. We are not going to look this young and sexy again. Photo booths often act as a wedding favour. What if you gave a photo they could actually frame? When you add props, they become a focus, take the tone from elegant to goofy and will date the photo as they go out of style. Why not give a gift where your guests are the stars of the show and look the part? 

When we started Impression Photobooth, we made a decision early on: no clutter. No prop tables, no party store leftovers, no cheap distractions. Just you, your guests, and a beautifully lit space to be yourselves.

And here’s what we’ve noticed since. Without the props, guests actually show up as themselves. They smile, they laugh, they get close. The photos feel more personal. There’s no need to force a joke or throw on a fake wig just to “make it fun.” It already is.

You also get a cleaner, more cohesive look across your whole gallery. That matters if you're planning a styled reception, using the photos for a guest book, or want to include them in thank-you cards later. There’s no random pineapple hat breaking the vibe. For couples who care about aesthetics, it’s a no-brainer.

Our setup is sleek, modern, and blends into your event. We use a high-quality digital booth with flattering lighting, minimalist design, and stunning backdrops to suit your vibe. It looks great in your space and even better in your photos.

At the end of the night, you’ll have a collection of photos that belong in your wedding album along with your portraits. So if you’re planning a wedding in Brisbane and want a photo booth that matches your style, we’d love to help.
