Guest Experience Inspiration
Good wedding entertainment fits naturally into the timeline, welcomes different kinds of guests, and creates a memory beyond the activity itself. These formats can be adapted to the wedding day, the full celebration weekend, or another private event.
Give guests an interactive experience while the wedding party takes photos or the reception space is being prepared. The portrait and interpretation create an easy conversation starter before dinner.
Turn the entertainment into the favor. Each participating guest leaves with an Instax aura portrait and interpretation card customized to match the wedding palette, stationery, or monogram.
Invite partners, friends, or family members to compare their colors and talk through the combination together. It creates a playful shared experience while keeping each portrait personal.
Use aura photography earlier in the wedding weekend to help guests meet one another. The relaxed format works well when families and friend groups are gathering for the first time.
Create a quieter discovery space away from the dance floor where guests can sit, participate, and take home something meaningful. This is especially useful for guests who want an alternative to dancing.
Adapt the same personalized format for engagement parties, birthdays, showers, retreats, and family celebrations. Printed materials can be tailored to the host, occasion, and event aesthetic.

The Experience
Aura photography for weddings and private events uses the AuraCam 6000 — an advanced biofeedback imaging system — to translate each guest's biofeedback readings into a vibrant, multi-colored portrait. As wedding entertainment, aura photography offers something no standard photo booth can: a deeply personal, conversation-sparking experience that gives every guest a one-of-a-kind keepsake reflecting their unique energy on your special day.
Couples and event planners love aura photography because it creates genuine moments of wonder and connection. Guests discover their energy colors, compare readings with friends and partners, and leave with a beautiful Instax Polaroid print they treasure as a personal memento — not just another party favor. From luxury weddings and engagement parties to milestone birthdays and baby showers, our service has elevated private celebrations for hundreds of hosts nationwide.
Every element is designed to complement your event's aesthetic. The photo template, interpretation guide, and display materials are fully customizable to match your theme, color palette, and personal style — whether your celebration is minimalist and modern, bohemian and whimsical, or classic black-tie. Our setup is compact, elegant, and unobtrusive, blending seamlessly with any venue décor without competing with your photographer or entertainment.
From luxury weddings in Los Angeles and elegant celebrations in New York to desert destination events in Palm Springs and coastal gatherings in San Diego, our white-glove mobile service handles everything. Get a custom quote for your celebration.

For Couples and Planners
The best placement depends on the venue and timeline. We coordinate with your planner or event team so the activation feels integrated and guests understand when and where to participate.
Choose a visible area near cocktail hour, a lounge, or the reception flow without competing with dining service, speeches, or the dance floor.
Plan for a compact station of approximately 5'x5' with access to power. We coordinate the final footprint with your planner and venue before the event.
Station count and activation hours should reflect guest count, the event timeline, and peak participation periods. Larger celebrations may benefit from multiple stations.
Indoor setups are straightforward. Outdoor placements need appropriate cover, stable power, and protection from wind, heat, moisture, and direct sun.

Guests place their hands on biofeedback sensors while seated in front of our AuraCam 6000. The sensor capture takes approximately 5–9 seconds, and they receive a beautiful Instax Polaroid print of their unique aura portrait with a personalized color interpretation. It's a conversation starter and a keepsake guests treasure.
Yes. We customize every element to complement your event's aesthetic — from the print template design and interpretation guide to the backdrop and display materials. Whether your theme is minimalist, bohemian, or black-tie, we blend seamlessly.
We plan guest flow around your event. For weddings of 150+ guests, we recommend scheduling the aura photography during cocktail hour or reception to ensure every guest has the opportunity to participate.

Yes. We serve all 50 states and have experience with destination weddings in resort locations, vineyards, estates, and coastal venues. Travel logistics are built into our packages — we handle everything so you can focus on your celebration.
The AuraCam 6000 experience uses passive hand sensors and is intended for entertainment and personal reflection, not medical diagnosis. Children can participate when they are comfortable sitting still and resting their hands on the sensor plates. Anyone who is pregnant or has a specific health concern should make the participation decision that feels right for them and consult their healthcare professional when appropriate.
Pricing depends on guest count, event duration, the number of stations needed to keep guests moving, and travel to your venue. Most weddings book an hourly package that covers the photographer, equipment, custom-branded prints, and setup and breakdown. Share your date, venue, and estimated guest count and we will build a tailored quote — there are no per-print or hidden fees.
We recommend reserving 8–12 weeks ahead for most weddings, and earlier for peak wedding season (May through October), holiday-weekend dates, and destination celebrations. Popular dates fill quickly, so contact us as soon as your date and venue are confirmed to secure your booking and lock in customization details.
