Portrait Station vs Photo Booth: Which Should You Book for Your Toronto Wedding?
One is about fun and volume, the other about a portrait people frame. Here's an honest comparison of the Portrait Station and a photo booth — and why so many Toronto couples book both.
Short answer: book a photo booth if you want fun, energy and a flood of shareable prints; book a Portrait Station if you want every guest to leave with one timeless, retouched black & white portrait worth framing. They do opposite jobs — which is exactly why a lot of Toronto couples book both. The Portrait Station starts at $1000 for 2 hours; a Mirror Booth starts at $550.
If you're planning a wedding anywhere in Toronto, Ajax, Pickering, Vaughan, Markham, Mississauga or across the GTA, here's how to choose.
The core difference
Neither is "better" — they solve different problems on your wedding day.

Why many couples book both
The two experiences cover different moments. Guests hit the photo booth during cocktail hour and late-night dancing for the fun, and step through the Portrait Station for the one portrait they'll actually frame. Booked together, they turn your reception into a full experience — and you can price the exact combination in our instant calculator.
