Photo Booth Rental

Frequently Asked Questions on our Photo Booths

How many sessions does your booth take per hour? How many pictures does your both take per hour?
This is a question that a lot of clients are confused about! Our photo booths take four photos per session. We can do about 50 sessions of 4 photos an hour, so the booth takes a total of around 200 photos per hour. After each session the four photos are printed out on a two separate strips of photo paper. While we can program our booths to do any number of photos, we have found that four is the perfect balance between efficiency and letting people just have fun. If you have a special situation that requires a high volume of people to go through the booth in a short amount of time we recommend renting two booths!

Do we get unlimited photos during the rental period?
Yes and no. So many companies brag about “unlimited” photos. Tell them you want 200 photos printed out per hour though and see what happens. There actually is a limit to the number of photos you can make whether you rent from us or the competition. The only limit is because it is not humanly impossible to have more than around 50 or 60 sessions per hour. People need 40 to 60 seconds to get into the booth and take their photos. So to answer the question, yes we give you unlimited photos, just realize that in the real world that means 50 to 60 sessions per hour.

I have 200 guests at my wedding, how many hours should I rent the booth for?
Generally speaking people go in the booth in groups or at the very least couples. Sure there’s your third cousin who couldn’t get a date, but we’re talking about normal people here 🙂 If all 200 of your guests came as couples then you’d need 100 sessions and since our booth does about 50 sessions per hour you’d need a minimum of two hours for every couple to get a print out. However many people go in twice and then there’s your other cousin who is a totally camera hog and goes in there 5 times 🙂 Taking that into consideration we recommend at least an hour and a half for every 100 guests invited. For 200 guests that would be at least 3 hours. We’ve been to smaller weddings where everyone is constantly using it while we’ve also gone to larger weddings where there were so many activities it caused less usage. You’ll have to use a bit of your own judgment to determine how long you want it.

I want the photo booth at my cocktail hour outside and then will have my reception inside. Should we move the booth inside?
Yes. People partying on the dance floor aren’t going to walk far away just to use the booth. Trust us on this one. We’ve seen a few events where the clients insisted on having the booth in some isolated corner or in a totally different room and it didn’t get used as much. We’ve found that having it by the bar for some reason keeps it busy all night long. Our booths can be easily moved, but make sure you give us enough clearance to go from point a to b.

Our reception venue is on the side of a mountain. To get there you need to go up 100 steps and across a swinging bridge. Will that be a problem?
No, our booths are easily transported, weigh 70 pounds and come in a rolling case.
How much floor space will the booth take up? Will you need anything besides electricity? Is it wheel chair accessible?
3.5’x 5.5 feet. It fits 3 comfortably, but we’ve seen 12 or more people crammed up in it. We have larger booths available too for an extra fee, but we find that our standard size is the most popular. If you purchase the guest book option, a small rectangular table will be needed as well as a chair for people to sign the guestbook. It is wheel chair accessible. Our booth is unique in that the bench can be removed and people in wheel chairs can then use the booth.

Can you print out the classic 4 strip black and white photos like the old 1950’s photo booths do? Are there other options for how the photos are printed?
Yes we can print the strips out in black and white or color. If you choose the photos strips then the machine prints out two 4×6″ strips on a sheet. This is a very popular option for people that want a scrapbook guest book.
