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. 

The guests just press the giant arcade button and the photo booth guides them through their own photoshoot sequence. :)

List of items used in this project and where to find them:

• An Arduino Nano(x1): https://geni.us/ArduinoNanoV3
  
• 2.2k and 1k resistor (x1 of each): https://geni.us/Ufa2s
  
• Giant illuminated arcade button: https://geni.us/GiantArcadeButton
  
• MAX7219 Display Matrix: https://geni.us/MAX7219DotMatrix
• A shutter release cable for your SLR camera - I've built and tested this photo booth with a Canon camera.

• Some small lengths of hook up wire for the internal electronics: https://geni.us/22AWGWire
  
• Four longer lengths of wire for connecting to the arcade button (I used two lengths of speaker wire): https://geni.us/SpeakerWire
  
• Some filament for the 3D printed parts: https://geni.us/PLAFilament
  
• And a digital SLR camera: https://geni.us/SLRCameras

For the housing

• Some wooden panels Some screws Paint and other materials for decoration.
  

These are some of my favorite tools I use and can recommend:
