I'll show you how to build your own Automated Photo Booth for less than hiring one (if you can lay your hands on a DSLR). You can customise the housing to suit your event/wedding and as it's controlled by an Arduino Nano you don't need anyone to 'man it' throughout the night. ? More info below ?
The guests just press the giant arcade button and the photo booth guides them through their own photoshoot sequence. :)
