25 Fun & Creative Photo Booth Poses (For Guests Who Hate Being Awkward!)

We’ve all been there. You step into the photo booth, the countdown starts… 3… 2… 1… and suddenly you forget what to do with your hands.

At Wards Photo Booths, we believe the best memories aren’t just about the prints; they’re about the laughs you have while making them. Whether you’re using our Magic Mirror or our Vintage Booth, here are 25 pose ideas to share with your guests so they can ditch the “awkward turtle” and strike a pose like a pro!

🎬 The “Classic & Classy” (Best for the first shot)

1. The Standard Squeeze: Everyone leans in tight. No gaps!
2. The Back-to-Back: Think Charlie’s Angels or a 90s pop group.
3. The Kissy Face: A wedding classic. Just don’t get lipstick on the props!
4. The Look of Love: Couples look at each other instead of the camera.
5. The “GQ” Lean: hands in pockets, serious faces, pure high fashion.

🤪 The “Absolute Chaos” (Best for the third or fourth shot)

6. The Photobomb: One person stands close; everyone else tries to peek from behind.
7. The Silent Scream: Open your mouths as wide as possible. No noise, just drama.
8. The “What Happened Last Night?”: Everyone looks confused and disoriented.
9. The Human Statue: Everyone freeze in the weirdest position they can think of.
10. The Slow-Motion Run: Lean forward like you’re winning a 100m sprint.

🎭 Using the Props Like a Pro

11. The “Secret Identity”: Use masks or oversized glasses to hide your face.
12. The Moustache Maniac: If there’s a stick moustache, everyone uses one.
13. The Prop Swap: Mid-countdown, swap your hat or sign with the person next to you.
14. The “Speak Your Mind”: Hold up the speech bubble signs that best describe your mood.
15. The Frame within a Frame: Use a handheld frame prop to “frame” your own face.

👯 Groups & Bridesmaids

16. The “Show the Ring”: Everyone points at the bride’s hand. 💍
17. The Sorority Squat: the front row goes low, the back row leans over.
18. The Bouquet Hide: Hide the lower half of your faces behind the flowers.
19. The Lift: (Carefully!) The group tries to lift the guest of honour.
20. The Secret Whisper: Everyone leans in to whisper a “secret” to one person.

✨ The “Nostalgia” Finish

21. The Peace Sign: Simple, retro, and always works.
22. The Titanic: One person behind another, arms out wide.
23. The High-Five: Freeze-frame a high-five mid-air.
24. The Heart: Two people use their hands to make a heart shape.
25. The “See Ya!”: Wave at the camera for the final print.
