Instead of a photo booth: every guest’s phone is a camera
Photo booths are fun, but they limit photos to one spot, need delivery and setup, and renting one costs a lot per event. VIZU gives you the same result – shared photos of the night – using your guests’ own phones, at a fraction of the price.
Free up to 10 guests · No card required
All-evening photos, not just in front of the booth
With a booth, guests have to go and pose. With VIZU they can shoot anywhere, any time – on the dance floor, at the tables, in the garden – and every photo lands instantly in the same album.
When is a photo booth still better?
If you specifically want instant printed keepsakes for guests, a photo booth is a good choice – VIZU does not print. Many hosts use both: the booth for posed shots, VIZU for the candid moments of the whole evening.
No logistics
No power, space, delivery or attendant. One QR code on the table and you are done – outdoors too.
Photo booth, Instax or Polaroid for an event?
In short: if you want instantly printed, posed photos in one spot, a photo booth is a good choice. If you want physical retro prints, Instax or Polaroid. If you want every guest’s photos – candid moments from the whole event – in one shared album without rental or film costs, VIZU is the simplest. They can be combined.
