mes and memories! I like the size shape and layout of the template too, it’s not like all the other companies with just a small strip. Stop looking and hire Big Hugs!
We loved having a photo booth at your wedding! It was so much fun for us and our guests. I am not giving 5 starts, however, because this companies communication needs improvement. ...
Our original phone call talking with this company was very awkward. In addition, communicating back and forth with the graphic designer was difficult because they hardly responded. In the end though, we loved our design!
Last, the company says you can email your pictures to you phone at the wedding, but when you do, they are blurry. Now you are forced to purchase the photos when I thought that’s what we paid for.

Having a quality photo booth was one of my top priorities. I've been to plenty of weddings with terrible ones, so I was determined to be an exception! After a bit of research, I s...
tumbled upon Big Hugs and I was instantly impressed. Big Hugs beat a competitor's offer financially, and also included so much more for the price, including choice of backdrops, custom print design, 4x6 or strip print options, etc. Stanley was very responsive and all of my requests were met.
What truly blew me away was the gorgeous custom design print that Christina from Big Hugs created for us. I sent her a sample of my other stationary, and her design matched PERFECTLY. It was beautiful and truly exceeded my expectations. I LOVE that Big Hugs gives the option of 4X6 prints instead of just strips, so my guests walked away with something they can frame!
The photo booth itself was perfection. I chose the Party Photo Booth, which comfortably held up to ten people, while still providing a curtain for privacy. The props provided were great, and I was also able to bring my own custom props as well. My favorite part of the booth was the fact that it gave you time to re-pose in between frames, with a countdown, and you can see yourself as the photo is taken, so you know how it will turn out! There was even the option to print in color, black and white, or sepia, although I wish the attendant had made that more clear to our guests.
Unlimited prints allowed all of my guests to walk away happy, but what truly impressed me was the gorgeous guestbook our wonderful attendant Paolo assembled on site from guest photos and signatures. It is one of my favorite souvenirs from our wedding day. Paolo was so friendly and accommodating to our guests, and was so approachable and patient!
One of the biggest perks was receiving digital copies not only of all of the photo booth sessions from our wedding, but also the individual photos from each session, in extremely high quality. I can't stop looking at the photos, they are AMAZING!
Big Hugs is the best photo booth out there from what I've seen, and the value is incredible. Do yourself a favor and make your wedding 10x better by having them there. My guests are still gushing about how much fun the photo booth was! :) Thank you, Big Hugs!
