Choose classic when the room should feel playful
The classic strip format is easy to understand and naturally creates a small series of moments. It is a strong fit when the guestbook matters, when groups will cycle through quickly, or when the print itself should feel like a familiar party favor.
Choose glam when the portrait is the keepsake
The glam booth brings studio-quality lighting and soft retouching to the event. It works particularly well when the couple or host wants the photo experience to feel like part of the room design, not an add-on beside it.
