Wedding Season 2025 is HERE… are you ready?
Wedding season is almost here, and if you’re a bride-to-be, I know you’re probably checking your list twice (or, let’s be real, for the tenth time). The dress? On point! The venue? Booked and double-checked. The seating chart? Ugh, we're surviving that one. But hold up—have you locked in one of the most talked-about parts of the big day? The one thing that’ll make your wedding the highlight of the season?
Let’s talk about the photo booth, darling! Trust me, it’s not just another gimmick anymore. It’s a wedding must-have!
Why Photo Booths Are a Wedding Must-Have
Okay, let’s get real—photo booths have leveled up from being a cute little extra to THE experience that everyone will talk about. Here’s why:
Endless entertainment – No one’s sitting down, trust me. Your guests will be laughing, posing, and showing off all night.
Instant keepsakes – Forget the extra favours no one remembers. Your guests walk away with a photo in hand that’s sure to end up on the fridge.
Memories for YOU – You might be busy being the stunning bride, but we’ve got you covered with a digital gallery packed with those hilarious and heartfelt moments you didn’t get to see.
Totally custom to your style – Whether you’re vibing with a classic, elegant booth or going wild with the latest props, it’s all about your vibe!
Ditch the Traditional Favours
Let’s be real: personalized shot glasses and monogrammed coasters? They usually end up forgotten, collecting dust. But a photo strip with your custom wedding logo? That’s the kind of keepsake that actually gets pride of place on the fridge—or, let’s be honest, in the scrapbook that your guests will cherish for years to come.
We’ve been all about ditching the traditional favours since day one, and let’s just say: the photo booth is the favour that your guests will truly love, use, and keep as a memento from your big day!
Now, Let’s Talk About Us!
Can you believe it? This year marks our 4th year of working with amazing couples to make their weddings even more unforgettable! From the very first wedding we helped create memories at, to now, we’ve seen firsthand how a photo booth can bring so much joy, laughter, and epic keepsakes to your big day.

Whether it’s the first time we’ve worked together or we’ve seen you through multiple events, we’re here to add a personal touch to your wedding day that’s both fun and unforgettable!

Real Results: The Amazon NHL Experience
We recently partnered with Amazon for a Canada-wide employee appreciation tour, transforming their staff into pro-level hockey players. Starting in Edmonton and moving through Vancouver, Toronto, and Winnipeg, the booth brought unforgettable energy to each location — even including appearances from NHL players like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
The result? A high-impact activation that delivered engagement, excitement, and over-the-top shareability.

St. Patrick’s Day Brand Activation for Guinness
St. Patrick's Day is a time for celebration, connection, and of course, a little bit of magic — and this year, Magic Memories Photo Booth brought that magic to life with a brand activation for Guinness at Central Social Hall.
Throughout the day, we traveled to different Central Social Hall locations, engaging guests with our AI Photo Booth experience. The star of the show? Our unique St. Patrick's Day-themed transformation that let guests turn themselves into whimsical leprechauns and enchanting fairies — all while enjoying a pint of Guinness.
What made this activation truly special was the attention to detail in every aspect of the experience. Here’s a breakdown of the custom elements we created for this event:.
AI Photo Transformations: Guests could transform into playful leprechauns or magical fairies, embracing the spirit of St. Patrick's Day in a fun and interactive way.
Custom Start Screen: As soon as guests approached the booth, they were greeted with a custom Guinness-branded start screen that set the tone for the experience.
Personalized Photo Template: Each photo was framed with a Guinness-inspired photo template, featuring iconic branding and festive St. Paddy's Day elements, ensuring every memory was tied to the celebration.
AI-Generated Background: To complete the transformation, we crafted an AI-generated background that transported guests into a lush, Irish-inspired scene — the perfect backdrop for their leprechaun and fairy personas.
The result? A memorable brand experience that had guests lining up to capture their St. Paddy's Day magic.
But the magic didn’t stop there. Each photo became a branded keepsake that guests could instantly share, creating organic social media buzz for Guinness while giving attendees a unique memory to take home.
At Magic Memories, we believe every brand activation should be as unique as the brand itself. Whether it’s transforming guests into rodeo champions for the Calgary Stampede or crafting a winter wonderland for a holiday event, we specialize in creating immersive experiences that blend creativity, technology, and unforgettable fun.
Are you ready to make your next event a little more magical? Let’s create something unforgettable together.

Choosing the right Photo Booth vendor
Photo Booth
A photo booth is more than just a fun addition to your event—it’s an experience that captures unforgettable moments for you and your guests. With so many vendors available, choosing the right photo booth company can make all the difference. Here’s what to consider when selecting the perfect vendor for your special occasion.
1. Understand Your Event Needs
Before reaching out to vendors, think about the type of event you’re hosting. Is it a wedding, corporate event, birthday, or brand activation? Different events call for different styles of photo booths, such as:
Glam Booth for a luxury, high-end look
AI Photo Booth for interactive, customized experiences
Magic Mirror Booth for an engaging, touchscreen experience
Print Booth for classic, take-home keepsakes
Knowing your needs will help narrow down the best options.
2. Check the Quality of Their Work
A reputable photo booth vendor should have a portfolio showcasing their past events. Look for high-resolution images, custom overlays, and professional setups. Poor lighting, blurry prints, or outdated technology are red flags that the vendor might not provide a premium experience.
3. Ask About Customization Options
Personalization can take your event to the next level. Ask your vendor about:
Custom templates and overlays to match your theme
Branded experiences for corporate events
Themed backdrops and props to enhance guest engagement
AI-generated designs to create unique keepsakes
The more customization options they offer, the better they can tailor the experience to your event.
4. Look at Reviews and Testimonials
Nothing speaks louder than customer experiences. Read reviews on Google, WeddingWire, or social media to see what past clients have to say. Pay attention to feedback about reliability, professionalism, and overall guest satisfaction.
5. Consider Technology and Features
Modern photo booths offer much more than just printed pictures. Features like:
Instant digital sharing via text or email
GIFs and Boomerangs for social media fun
Green screen and AI effects for unique transformations
Luxury prints and filters for a professional finish
Choosing a vendor that offers these enhancements will give your guests a more interactive experience.
6. Compare Pricing and Packages
Pricing can vary widely, so be sure to ask about what’s included in the package. Some vendors offer unlimited prints, custom branding, and on-site attendants, while others charge extra for these services. A clear and transparent pricing structure is essential to avoid hidden fees.
7. Check Their Experience and Reliability
A well-established vendor with a strong track record will ensure a smooth and professional experience. Ask questions like:
How long have you been in business?
Have you worked at similar events before?
What happens if there’s a technical issue during the event?
A reliable vendor will have backup equipment and a team ready to handle any unexpected situations.
8. Evaluate Their Customer Service
From the initial inquiry to the event day, excellent customer service is key. A good vendor should be responsive, willing to answer your questions, and provide clear communication throughout the process.
Conclusion
Choosing the right photo booth vendor can elevate your event and create lasting memories for your guests. By considering factors like quality, customization, technology, and reliability, you can ensure a stress-free experience and a fun-filled event. Take your time to research, ask the right questions, and book with confidence!
