What do you need from us to book and host the booth?
Booking is simple — all we need is a standard power outlet within 20 feet of the booth setup area. We take care of everything else: delivery, setup, breakdown, lighting, gear, and making sure the entire experience is completely stress-free for you.
Can I change my backdrop after booking?
Yes! You’re welcome to change your backdrop selection anytime before your event, subject to availability. We recommend reserving the backdrop that best matches your theme, and if you change your mind later, we’ll update it for you with no problem.
Do you offer guest books?
Yes! Add a beautiful laser-engraved wooden guest book album, personalized with your names, date, or custom text, where guests can place their prints and leave messages. It’s a perfect keepsake for weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries.
Is there an attendant during the event?
Yes. A friendly, trained on-site attendant is included with every booking to assist guests and ensure everything runs smoothly.
Do your booths use iPads?
No. Unlike many photo booth companies, our standard booths use professional DSLR cameras and studio flash systems for crisp, bright, true studio-quality photos. Only the 360 Video Booth uses an iPhone for fast video processing and immediate sharing.
Are prints included with every package?
Yes. All packages include unlimited prints for the duration of your rental. Guests can take as many photos as they’d like.
Do you provide digital copies of all photos?
Absolutely. Every event receives a free online gallery with all the event’s photos ready to view, download, and share. We provide all high resolution photos, and never watermark the photos with our company logo nor charge your guests to download them.
What makes your photo quality different from other booths?
We use professional DSLR cameras, studio-grade flashes, and premium lenses, ensuring bright, flattering, high-resolution images. No iPads, no webcams—just true studio photography.
Can we choose our backdrop?
Yes. We offer 30+ different backdrops to choose from, including our White Roses Flower Wall and Green Hedge Wall

Do you offer custom photo templates?
Yes. Every event includes a custom-designed template that matches your theme, colors, or branding perfectly. Our standard packages include a custom-designed template at no additional charge, because we believe the basics should already feel extraordinary
Do you bring props?
We bring a curated selection of fun, stylish props for all occasions. Clean, modern, and event-appropriate—no tacky clutter.
Can the photo booth operate outdoors?
Yes, with proper cover and access to power. Tents or shade are required for daylight events to maintain photo quality.
What are the power requirements?
Each booth requires one standard 110V outlet within 20-25 feet.
Are your booths good for weddings?
Absolutely. Our setups are designed to look clean, modern, and elegant, with studio-quality photos perfect for weddings.
Can guests choose between 2x6 strips and 4x6 prints?
Yes! We offer a “Guest Choice” option where guests can select their preferred print size right at the booth.
What’s the difference between the White Inflatable Cube and the Black Inflatable Cube?
Our White Cube (10' x 10') glows beautifully and feels bright, airy, and modern—perfect for weddings and upscale events.
Our Black Cube (8' round) offers a chic, intimate lounge-style vibe while still fitting full-size groups. Both require only 8 ft ceilings.

Can we place one of your backdrops inside the Inflatable Cube?
Yes! You can upgrade to our Backdrop Inside Inflatable Cube add-on for a small fee, which allows you to enjoy the privacy of the inflatable cube while still showcasing any standard backdrop from our collection.
What happens if our venue has strict load-in or early setup requirements?
No problem—we work with venues every day. Just let us know the timeline, and we can arrive early or coordinate with your planner to meet all venue requirements.
Can the booth be set up earlier and held idle until our event starts?
Yes. You can add Idle Time, which allows us to set up early (for ceremonies, cocktail hour, or decor reasons) or pause the booth during speeches/dinner and resume later.
Can we brand the booth or prints for corporate events?
Absolutely. We offer full corporate branding, including custom overlays, branded templates, branded backdrops, and even branded start screens.
What is your cancellation policy?
Your initial deposit is non-refundable, as it reserves your date on our calendar. Once the event is paid in full (1 week before your event), the entire booking becomes non-refundable.
However, we understand that plans can change — so we’re happy to reschedule your booking to a new date at no additional charge, based on availability.
