What’s a ‘Red carpet photo booth’? (and should you have one at your wedding in Mallorca?)
If you're planning a wedding in Mallorca, surrounded by the island’s golden light, elegant fincas, and stylish guests, you might be looking for something extra to elevate the experience.
Let me suggest something for your cocktail hour. The Red Carpet Photo Booth.
But let’s get one thing clear. You don’t need an actual red carpet.
It’s more about the feeling, the vibe, than the fabric under your feet.
So what is a red carpet photo booth?
Think of it as a mini editorial shoot for your guests.
It’s a chic setup designed to make everyone feel like they’ve just stepped onto the cover of a magazine. It usually includes:
A well-lit backdrop (can be branded with your names, a floral design, or a minimalist wall at the venue)
A beautiful spot chosen for flattering light and elegant composition
Professional-level lighting (flashes, lights etc)
A photographer who knows how to make your guests look and feel amazing
No hats or wigs needed. Just pure style, great lighting, and the kind of portraits your guests actually want to frame.
Why have it on a Mallorca wedding when the surrounding is the star?
Mallorca has a naturally glamorous vibe — from cliffside fincas to stylish beach parties and candlelit garden dinners. Guests often show up looking incredible.
But as the focus is naturally on you, the protagonists of the day, sometimes all they have of them selves is photos with their mouths half open and iPhone selfies.
A Red Carpet photobooth give your guest a moment to shine, and something to treasure and frame.
It doesn’t only give you and your friends amazing photos of the people you love. It doubles as an activity while you’re away shooting portraits.
And if you're working with a photographer who understands light and composition (👋 hi, it’s me!), the results are stunning.
It’s not just about fun It’s About Legacy
A Red Carpet Photo Booth is more than a gimmick. It's a chance to give your guests beautiful portraits they wouldn't usually get. Most people don’t have many great photos of themselves in formal wear, smiling genuinely, glowing in a fun environment. This is your way of giving them that.
And for you? It adds a whole new layer to your wedding gallery. Instead of just candids or group shots, you'll also have elegant, editorial-style images of your favourite people, captured in a moment where they feel their absolute best.
What you don’t need
You don’t need an actual red carpet (unless you want one — no judgment).
You don’t need a corner stuffed with random props.
You don’t even need a booth.
What you need is a photographer who understands how to create an intentional space, make people feel confident, and use light to elevate every frame.
Should you add one to your wedding?
If you want to create a memorable, luxurious experience for your guests, and come away with beautiful portraits of them, then yes.
You can book this separately for the cocktail hour or party, if you’ve already hired a wedding photographer for the day, or you can add it if you’ve already booked me. Either, we swap documentary style photography during cocktail hour for a Red Carpet Photobooth - or I bring in another photographer.
Reach out to discuss the possibilities for your wedding. Looking forward to talk to you.
