Photo booths are fun, exciting and novel ways to spice up a reception- these work well for dry weddings (no alcohol), weddings with a small number of guests and to fill up reception time if you're not choosing to do a garter and bouquet toss or any special dances.
That being said...These are things I've experienced seeing how they affect a reception. The bride is no longer the center of attention- sure she's gorgeous, but you can't play with her, the booth now becomes the pretty shiny thing that is a distraction. Guests will not leave the photo booth to watch you cut your cake or dance with your dad. Guests will choose a photo booth over dancing to the music you're paying your dj to play. And most importantly there are parts of your guests you don't want to see and daring someone after a few tasty beverages can quickly turn a photo booth into a skin fest with pictures you're certainly never going to want to see again.
Personally, I have found, with a handful of fun props made available during open dancing in your reception, you can still get great quality photo booth style photos with only a tenth of the cost.
