In this digital world, you might thank that Snapchat geotags and Instagram hashtags are the best ways to help your guests commemorate your wedding day—they don't, however, have the charm of a classic instant photograph. (Plus, you already know that Polaroid photos look great when styled for social media.) The best way to take these types of images at your celebration? Wedding photo booths. Today, there are so many ways to make a photo booth, and the sweet photographs they yield, your own. Plus, they often work double-duty: They keep guests entertained during your cocktail hour and reception and provide keepsakes that make great favors.

They'll also come in handy if you're considering banning cell phones at your event, since they allow guests to capture memories without being glued to technology. If we've convinced you to rent or create one for your big day, be sure to bookmark the options ahead—as you'll discover, these stations have gotten a new-age makeover and are sleeker and infinitely prettier than their basic, boxy predecessors. Need proof? Take this pink-and-white trailer, which was provided by the Traveling Photo Bus, for example. We loved how its Airstream aesthetic added a retro vibe to this event.

If the photo booths in the following slides are any indication, there's a station out there that will definitely suit your specific wedding style. From simple but beautiful backdrops that speak to modern events to larger-than-life, floral-centric set ups that would work at a garden party, these wedding photo booths will undoubtedly inspire your own.
