At iPhotoBooth we, Walker & Rachel Day and Michael Lee Gibson, use the very best photographic equipment. Our premium photo booths deliver studio quality professional images. These photo booths feature a photographer grade DSLR Canon camera, digital studio flash and a super fast dye-sub lab style printer (prints 4 photo strips in 10 seconds). The booth is controlled by a kiosk grade touch screen monitor which features a live-view display of inside the tent. Users can see themselves while posing for pictures and the previously taken image is displayed to the users in between shots. Our photo booths can be setup inside or outside.
This is the third vendor I have been involved with for a photo booth and it was by far the best. We had a primarily older crowd at our wedding and almost none had ever seen a photo booth before ... other than the original ones that used to be in the malls. However, they loved it! I noticed 5-10 people in line at all times. Most did it more than once. My great-nephew (6) went so many times his dad said they would have to foot part of the bill (smile). Those in their 70's and 80's enthusiastically joined in making "interesting" photos. Other than overall quality and performance, two issues stood out. They had the accessories right in front of you in the booth which allowed you to quickly change between photos, and their set-up provided up-close photos like the original mall photo booths. The other two I have been involved had too much distance between the camera and the subjects making the photos hard to identify the people in the strips themselves. We have had lots of fun looking at all the goofy pictures on the CD provided.

Digital DSLR Photo Booth Rentals in Jacksonville Florida
Digital photo booths have quickly become the must-have item for: weddings, birthday parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, quinceaneras, high school reunions, charities, expos and corporate events! Everyone from DJs, photographers, videographers, event coordinators, hotels and venues are all scrambling to find ways to incorporate this exciting and unique new concept into their own service offerings. With many styles of photo booths (of varied quality) and so many companies in the market, it can be very daunting for consumers to pick the right photo booth and the right company to be part of their special event.
Having serviced hundreds of events, i-photobooth inc. has earned a reputation of being a premiere photo booth rental company in Jacksonville Florida. Our years of experience in the event industry have given us a unique opportunity to educate both our peers and our prospective clients on how to incorporate photo booths into their events. The following is a breakdown of our “Top 5 Tips” for choosing the ‘Right’ photo booth company for you.
1. Research That Photo Booth Company
Who are they?
We know that in the event industry, there is no do-over or second chance to get it right on your wedding, birthday party, bar or bat mitzvah, quinceanera, high school reunion, fundraiser, expo, corporate party or other special event. So you need to do your homework carefully before you pick your vendors. Anyone can create fake reviews for themselves on Yelp or create a free ad on Craigslist, but to the educated consumer this does little for a vendor’s reputation. In other words, you need to ask the right questions to your potential vendors beyond “How much does it cost?”
Does the company have a good reputation?
Check legitimate wedding directories and wedding vendor sites such as Wedding Wire, the Knot, or Wedding Compass. If the vendor isn’t listed or reviewed on these or other reputable sites, you should ask why not. If they aren’t advertising their business, perhaps they don’t have a good reputation or worse yet – they don’t have the money to invest in their own company. You might be thinking “So what if they aren’t spending money on advertising themselves” but we would instead ask “if they don’t have the funds to properly advertise their product then who’s to say that they will still be in business by the time your wedding arrives.” We have actually had a few clients in the past come to us needing a last minute booking because they originally booked with a cheap fly-by-night company that ended going out of business before their wedding date. So do your due-diligence and speak with event coordinators, wedding planners, venues, friends, and family to investigate their experiences with the company in question.
How many events have they done?
Many companies claim to have been in business for many years or stick a copyright on their website that makes it seem like they have been online for a long time. But how many events have they really done? How much experience do they have with working in the event industry. Are they going to work well with the rest of your vendors and the venue? Another logical question here is “if they have been in the industry for a long time shouldn’t they have a fairly large portfolio of legitimate clients and samples of their work?” When we refer to a portfolio, we mean more than just the same sample print design in 10 different colors with a few different fonts. Make sure to ask to see their portfolio.
The i-photobooth difference
Photo Booth FL is featured on several major wedding directories with top reviews and we have also been given the Brides Choice Award by WeddingWire in the Event Rentals category, placing us in the top 5% of wedding professionals nationwide. We know that our reputation for quality and commitment to customer service is unsurpassed. We have also handled hundreds of events for weddings, birthdays, quinceaneras, bar and bat mitzvahs, high school reunions, charities and corporate events for top- tier clients.
2. Make Sure Those Photos Will Last
What equipment are they using?
What type of cameras do they use? Many companies would have you believe that the bigger the mega-pixel the better the quality. On paper this would seem to be the case, especially if you want to blow up that photo booth mugshot onto a gargantuan canvas, but the reality is that no matter what the mega-pixels are most photo booths are designed to take advantage of space constraints and a limited depth of field, so proper lighting and the printer’s DPI (dots per inch) are much more important factors to consider. A more important question to ask is whether or not the company can deliver professional lab quality photos? How fast is their printing process? Some companies use store bought ink jet printers which give sub standard print quality and are likely to fade, smear or do not last. These type of companies may not be inclined to mail you sample prints either. If possible, you should ask to test the photo booth out for yourself and see how long it takes to print and what type of printers they are using.
i-photobooth - Print Quality
Our photo booth rentals - we use digital dslr cameras and use top quality professional dye-sublimation printers. No cheap ink-jet printers sitting on a table or cameras on a string with our photo booth! Our prints have a laboratory quality, print in around 10 seconds or less, are instantly dry and last 10x longer than normal photo prints. But don’t just take our word for it, come try out our photo booth in person!
3. Not All Photo Booths are Created Equal
Does the Company have a professional photo booth?
Some companies don’t tend to show good quality pictures of their photo booths online or don’t seem to offer any way for you to test their booths prior to the event. We ask why not? Are there issues with the booth that they don’t want you to see? Do they not have the resources to present and promote their product effectively? Even worse are the companies that do not even offer a true photo booth to begin with and instead simply try to capitalize on the idea of a photo booth such as the portable portrait studios with tripod mounted cameras and portable backdrops. These ‘quick-buck’ scam artists are not helping anyone including themselves. The client is not getting what they want and deserve, thus they will never book with these companies again, and the photo booth industry is also being tarnished by poor quality attempts at photo booths. One client told us that a photographer had buried a clause in the fine print of their contract that stipulated the client could not use any other vendors if their own company offered a competitive product. Their idea of a competitive photo booth offering turned out to be a camera on a tripod with a clicker and a laptop with a printer sitting on a table. This is hardly a photo booth.. don't be fooled!
One thing to know about photo booths is not all are created equal. At iPhotoBooth we work very hard to make sure we provide not only the best equipment, but also the best attendants with great customer service. Jacksonville photo booth companies offer a wide variety of styles and quality of booth as well as prices. When looking to hire a photo booth company consumers should always be aware of some of the biggest pitfalls of photo booth rentals.
The first thing you want to make sure of is that you are actually getting a photo booth. While many companies are jumping on the photo booth bandwagon not all of them are actually offering a real photo booth. What they do instead is set a camera on a tripod and take pictures as you pose. While iPhotoBooth can offer an open air concept simply by eliminating the tent you still have the touch screen display and all the other features you deserve when you pay for a photo booth.
The next thing you need to be aware of is whether or not you will receive copies of each of your photos from the photo booth. When you hire a photo booth company always ask how you will access your photos from your event or wedding and how much they will cost. At iPhotoBooth we provide our clients with a copy of their photos via a CD or flash drive. The guests from the event or wedding will all have access to all of the pictures in large format.
Last but not least make sure your photo booth company is fun and relevant. Positive and excited photo booth attendants can make all the difference in the world when it comes to your photo booth experience. We know how to get down if you will, raise the roof per say. Although we love to add some flare to a party we will never outshine the guest of honor or bride so no need to worry. We look forward to laughing with you and helping you create a lifetime of memories, and being Jacksonville's
