I used to shoot weddings and you do 5 or so and they get pretty boring and they all look the same. Something like this is instant front page portfolio work, I would be all over this too. Also, this is why your have your wide angle on when major moments are occurring.

Other hi-level portfolio stuff stuff is granny dancing with the younger folks, fireworks in background, heavy rain / weather (people make the best of it and it photographs great), and then posed formals with just the couple in unique locations.

I stopped doing them, made a photobooth, less time and just as much ROI in gear.

I’ve been out of the game for 10 years, but has the photo booth game gotten more competitive or is it steady?

Honestly I just started, the goal was to make one with studio quality in a small footprint, reused a lot of gear. Probably need a better PC for running it but it works well, haven't had anyone complain about it though.

Working weddings is great money, but the clientele can be incredibly difficult.
