“We hired Instant Photo Chicago extremely late, but they were miraculously available and were so great and easy to work with! We did not have room for a traditional photo booth, and this ended up being a way more interactive and unique alternate that so many of our guests loved and were talking about all night! Mark made the process leading up to our wedding seamless, and our photographer, Carmen, was fabulous! Plus, as the name suggests, we got these photos instantly, so they were some of the first pictures we were able to share with loved ones who weren't able to attend. I would highly recommend!”
