Renting a photo booth should be simple and stress-free. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often — so you can book with confidence.
How much does it cost to rent a photo booth?
Our photo booth rental packages start at $499. Every event is a little different, so we also offer custom quotes tailored to your specific needs — whether you're hosting an intimate gathering or a large corporate event. You can browse our standard packages on our Packages & Prices page, or contact us directly for a personalized quote.
Why should I rent a photo booth for my event?
A photo booth is one of the easiest ways to keep your guests entertained and give everyone a tangible memory to take home. It works for virtually any type of event — weddings, birthday parties, corporate functions, school events, and more. It breaks the ice, gets people laughing, and creates moments people actually talk about afterward.
How does the photo booth work?
It's genuinely simple. Guests step into the photo booth area, tap the on-screen button, and the photos are taken automatically. Within seconds, the images are combined into a photo layout that appears on the screen. Guests can then choose to print their photo or share it digitally. If they choose to print, the file is sent to the printer and the photo is in their hands in under 15 seconds. That's it — no tech skills required.
How many people can use the photo booth at once?
Up to 12 people can comfortably fit into a single photo. We've seen some creative arrangements from groups trying to squeeze in more — but for everyone's sake, we'll leave that to their imagination. The booth is designed to be inclusive so no one gets left out of the fun.
Is there a limit on how many photos we can take?
No limit whatsoever. For the entire duration of your rental, you and your guests can take as many photos as you like. Packages that include printed photos come with 200 prints, which is typically plenty for a 3-hour event. Need more? Additional prints can always be added.
Do guests receive printed photos?
Yes — if you choose a package that includes printing, 200 photo prints are included. Each print comes out of the booth in seconds, so guests leave with something real in their hands, not just a digital file they might forget about later. Additional prints are available if you need them.
How fast does the printer actually work?
Faster than most people expect. Once a guest taps to print, the file reaches the printer in about one second. The print itself takes around 10 seconds to process. Total time from tap to photo in hand: under 12 seconds. We hear "wow, that was fast" at pretty much every event.
How far in advance should I book a photo booth?
As early as possible, ideally. Our photo booths are popular, and dates fill up quickly — especially on weekends during wedding and event season. We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance to guarantee availability. That said, we currently operate 4 different photo booth setups and have staff on call, so last-minute bookings are sometimes possible. We also need time to design a custom graphic layout for your event, so don't wait too long. Even if your event is coming up fast, give us a call — we'll do our best.
Do we receive the digital files after the event?
Absolutely. After your event, we'll send you a download link with all the digital files from every photo taken during the rental. You'll have full access to every image in digital format, so you can share, print, or keep them as a lasting memory.
Can guests share photos directly from the booth?
Yes, and it's easy. Guests can share their photos right at the booth by entering their phone number to receive a text, entering their email address, or simply scanning a QR code. No app needed, no account required — just instant sharing on the spot.
Is an attendant included with the rental?
Yes, every rental includes a dedicated photo booth attendant. They arrive early to set up the booth, stay for the full duration of your event to help guests, troubleshoot anything that comes up, make sure everyone walks away with their photos, and then handle the full teardown when the event is over. You don't have to lift a finger — that's what they're there for.
What time does the team arrive to set up?
We typically arrive one hour before your event's start time. That gives us enough time to find the best spot, unload the equipment, and have everything ready to go before guests arrive. Setup and teardown are always included in our packages. If you'd like us to arrive earlier than one hour, just let us know — additional time can be arranged (additional fees may apply).
Are props included?
Props are included with our Deluxe packages. They're a great way to add some personality and extra fun to the booth experience — guests love them.
Can you customize the photo layout for our event?
Yes, and this is something we take pride in. Every event gets a fully custom graphic layout designed by our team. We build it 1 to 2 weeks before your event, and if you have a logo, wedding invitation design, or a color palette in mind, we'll incorporate it. Once the first version is ready, we'll send you a preview for feedback. We refine it until you're happy with it, then load it into the booth for your event. The result is a photo keepsake that actually feels like it belongs to your event — not a generic template.
What packages are available?
Our standard packages are built around a 3-hour rental and can be extended by the hour to fit your event's schedule. We also offer fully custom packages if your needs fall outside the standard options. Visit our Packages & Prices page for a complete breakdown, or contact us to build something tailored to your event.
How much space does the photo booth require?
We need approximately 10 feet by 10 feet of flat, dry floor space. That gives us enough room for the booth itself, the backdrop, and a comfortable area for guests to step in and out. We'll work with you to find the best placement within your venue.
Does the venue need to provide anything?
Just two things: a standard electrical outlet and a table for the props (if your package includes them). That's all we need from the venue. Everything else — equipment, setup materials, printing supplies — we bring ourselves.
