Above and beyond, literally on the night
"Michelle from the Shutter Booth team was incredible from start to finish. She went above and beyond on our wedding day, even changing the backdrop after suggesting what we had wasn't quite working. Our guests loved her, she was incredibly passionate and patient, making sure everyone had a great time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Anthony & Lyn - Wedding, The Terrace South Yarra, 30th May 2026
Kept the energy up all night
"We hired the open style photo booth from Shutter Booth for our wedding and couldn't be happier. The variety of backdrops and print designs was great, and creating a custom design was a super easy process. Our attendant Bernadette was absolutely awesome, she kept her energy up all night and created such a good vibe for everyone using the booth. Highly recommend."
Valerie & Matthew - Wedding, Open Photo Booth, The Ivory (Huntley House) Elsternwick, 28th March 2026
Helpful before the wedding, brilliant on the night
"We used Shutter Booth for our wedding and they were amazing, cannot recommend them enough. The photo booth was easy to use with a great range of props, and our attendant Bernadette made sure everything ran smoothly. The experience leading up to the event was just as great, Christine was so helpful throughout. Thank you so much!"
Sarah Chrysostomou - Wedding, The Ivory Elsternwick (Huntley House), 4th October 2025
