When you look back on your wedding day, you will remember the little details: the flowers, the speeches, and the faces of everyone who came to celebrate with you. A black and white photo booth captures those faces in a way that looks just as good in thirty years as it does tonight, which is why more couples are asking for it.
Why Black and White Works at Weddings
Black and white photography has always been timeless. It removes the distraction of colour, so the focus lands on expressions, laughter and connection. Against a clean white backdrop it creates a striking, editorial contrast, and yes, that includes your wedding dress. Couples love that it matches almost any wedding palette, from classic black-tie to a relaxed garden celebration.
At PhotoboothTO, our booths can shoot in colour or black and white, and a flattering skin-smoothing filter helps everyone look their best.
The Hollywood Glam Look
For a high-fashion feel, a glam setup uses studio-style lighting and a seamless white or grey backdrop to create portraits that look like they came from a magazine shoot. It is especially popular for evening receptions, where guests are dressed up and ready for their close-up. Want the full editorial treatment? See our magazine photo booth.
Tips for Great B&W Booth Photos
- Keep the backdrop simple: white, grey or black backdrops let the black and white look shine.
- Think about texture: sequins, lace and tailored suits photograph beautifully in black and white.
- Go easy on props: a few elegant pieces work better than a full trunk of novelty items.
- Place it near the action: close to the bar or dance floor keeps guests coming back all night.
Print Sizes and Sharing
Choose 4×6 postcards, 2×6 photo strips, or even a trading card photo booth for a keepsake guests will actually hold on to. Photos can also be sent instantly by text or email, with an online gallery after the wedding.
For full coverage of your day, pair the booth with a Toronto event photographer so candid moments and posed portraits are both covered. With 5,000+ events behind us, we know how to make a black and white booth look its best at your venue.
Pairing a B&W Booth With Other Wedding Ideas
A black and white booth pairs well with an audio guest book or a video guest book so you keep both photos and messages. See all the options on our wedding photo booth rentals page.
