A photo booth is a portable photography kiosk that snaps 1-4 pictures on a timer. Guests can strike several poses with or without props in front of a backdrop or green screen, depending on the setup. The images are often printed out on the spot for guests to take home as a fun souvenir.
On average, a typical photo booth rental costs $400-$600 for a 3-hour event. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the number of guests, the length of the event, and the type of photo booth. While basic props and simple backdrops are usually included in a standard photo booth package, many companies offer additional add-ons like custom-designed or branded photo strips and backdrops. Some may also offer a video photo booth for a higher cost.
Most photo booth setups will print the images on demand, either on a photo strip or as a collage. Some rental companies can work with you to design the printouts however you like, so you can put the name and date of your special event, or add branding for corporate events.
Your photo booth may also store the images digitally in addition to or in lieu of printouts to save paper and make it easier for your guests to find and save their images. Some more advanced photo booth setups may also offer social sharing, which will let guests share their photos on social media right away.
Photo booths are a great way to get your guests to interact, have a few laughs, and collect a souvenir to take home with them. This makes them a popular choice for all types of events, like weddings, corporate events, trade shows, birthday parties, proms, and so much more.
There are a couple of different setups you might find for photo booths. The original photo booth was an enclosed booth for private photos – these are still available but are often more expensive.
Open-air photo booths are the most common, with a simple backdrop and camera setup. The camera will often include a touchscreen with a selfie display so the guests can see their poses and the countdown for each shot. Some rental companies may do green screen backdrops that allow the guests to choose a custom background.
You can also do a video photo booth that can capture short videos or gifs of the guests instead of still images. 360 photo booth rentals are also popular, which capture images or movement a full 360 degrees around your guests. This can be especially fun for red carpet events, proms, and weddings.
