Top 6 Photo Booths In Copenhagen
Finding photo booth providers in Copenhagen isn't always straightforward. Based on insights from past customers, these are top recommendations. Please take everything with the salt of grain - each reputable business aims to elevate the customer experience :)
My selfie
My Selfie offers a convenient delivery by post with all necessary equipment included, making it easy to hand over and return. The photo booth produces high-quality images, surpassing other selfie cameras previously tried. Customers note a clear difference in image quality, indicating that the price aligns with the superior quality offered.
Prices start from 1500 DKK.
Selfie Circle
Selfie Circle is another popular choice for wedding photo booths. However, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the overall picture quality, finding it lacking compared to other providers in the market. One customer noted that while the promise of AI optimization initially seemed appealing, it resulted in noticeable errors and unnaturalness in many images, sometimes making individuals appear overly perfect and doll-like.
Starting price is 1500 DKK (includes set-up instructions)
photoboothen
Photoboothen might not be the most popular choice among wedding celebrants, but it appears that the majority who opt for it have a positive experience. The customer describes their own experience as great, with both themselves and their guests enjoying the photobooth throughout the evening, capturing enjoyable and humorous photos. They particularly appreciated the convenience of having their photos printed instantly. The concept of having the photobooth delivered and set up was also praised as mega cool.
The price starts from 4500 DKK.
FunCam
Funcam distinguishes itself with stellar communication, swift delivery, and an effortless service experience. Customers value the seamless process from beginning to end, as Funcam handles all aspects, from camera setup to next-day pickup.
Price starts from 1500 DKK + shipping
Smilebox
Similarly to Funcam, Smile Box delivers an exceptional service experience, from setup to printing. Customers appreciate their dedication as they ensure a smooth start by staying on-site until the system is operational. The printing quality is praised for its excellence, with “speedy results that impress”.
Price starts from DKK 4,000
Selfie cam
Selfie Cam has mixed reviews, with a hint of bias evident among users. While it does offer adjustment options, some note that its height may affect photo quality. Additionally, there are concerns about image clarity under different lighting conditions. Nevertheless, with awareness of these shortcomings, users find the overall experience to be decent.
Price from 1195,00 DKK.
Advice on renting a photo box
Couples frequently overlook other crucial factors when renting a photo booth. Don't forget to consider the following:
Props are often included in the rental price of a photo booth, but it's wise to double-check as some companies may charge extra for this fun addition.
Keep in mind that shipping and set-up expenses can sometimes match the rental fee for the selfie cam in certain companies. So, while the initial price may appear lower, these additional costs can significantly impact the overall expenses.
Some providers, like Selfie Circle, offer the convenient option of in-store pick-up, providing flexibility in how you obtain the equipment.
Before making your decision, consider whether there's a limit on the number of prints included in the rental package.
Pay attention to the layout and size of the prints, as well as how long digital images are stored on the cloud before they're deleted from the system.
It's worth considering whether insurance is necessary, especially for a wedding party. This additional feature often comes at a low cost and can provide peace of mind, saving you from potential headaches down the line!
As an alternative to a photo booth, you can consider buying or renting an instant camera
Alternatives to photo booths
If the idea of a traditional photo booth doesn't quite appeal to you, or if you're working with a different budget and looking for more creativity, consider the following alternatives.
Instant Cameras
Instant cameras offer a charming alternative to traditional photo booths, infusing your memories with a unique twist! Many of us may have these gems tucked away, just waiting for their moment in the spotlight. Now's the time to unearth them and let them shine!
If you don't already own one, purchasing an instant camera won't break the bank (you can explore options on Amazon, Elgiganten, or perhaps Facebook Marketplace). While film costs may add up, they also present an opportunity for creativity. Experiment with different film styles—like black & white or those adorned with stickers—and explore various photo formats, from classic square shots to adorable mini passport-sized prints.
For some inspiration, here are the most sought-after instant cameras:
Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo, you can rent the camera here
If owning one isn't on the cards, you can always rent an instant camera through reputable platforms like wedio.com, directly from individuals. It's a hassle-free way to enjoy all the fun without the commitment!
Ipad + photo printer
Using an iPad and a photo printer is a bit more hands-on, but it can offer a fantastic alternative to a traditional photo booth! If you already own an iPad, you can enhance it with a flash ring and download an app like booth.events (https://booth.events/). From there, you can personalize templates online to create photo strips and other layouts that will print out as 4x6 photos or any other size you prefer. Just remember to keep your iPad charged, so ensure there's a power outlet nearby!

Single Use Cameras
Single-use cameras (or toy cameras) can be a fantastic option if you're more focused on having fun than on getting prints! They're like little toys that offer endless entertainment. Plus, there's something thrilling about waiting to develop the film and discovering all the interesting shots you captured! It's a surefire way to add an element of surprise and spontaneity to your event. :)
