1. What does the booth look like? Open Air or Enclosed? Today there are two main styles of photo booths: open air and enclosed. Enclosed booths are generally a bit more private since they follow the classic styling of a privacy curtain while open air photo booths now use a simple backdrop and camera setup, this new arrangement allows more guests to fit in the photos. Both Setups offer a touch screen that allows guests to begin their own sessions and two photo strips print automatically after 3 pictures are taken.

 

2. What kind of equipment do you use? Any unique features? Professional photographers use professional equipment, and your photo booth company should be doing the same. Lower-end companies may not use high quality DSLR cameras and dye sub photo printers which today is the industry standard that we follow.

 

3. What is the process for setup? We ask our client what time they would like the photobooth service to begin (typically after reception and special dances) Our setup only takes 30 mins to 45mins to setup so we try to arrive within a timely manner so we can start at the agreed start time. We setup an 8ft by 8ft Backdrop and then our camera stand is plugged into 120V standard outlet. Please have ample room for the backdrop since it takes up the most space.

 

4. How do cancellations work?
We have NON-REFUNDABLE deposit amounts in place to hold your special date without any risk of overbooking or losing the date, unlike other industries such as hotels or venues that return security deposits after they assure that no damages occured.

These charges protect us from cancellations in an industry where the average engagement and advance booking period is around 22 months.

In the event of a cancellation we may offer flexibility to schedule the event for a later date or may provide the option to credit amounts paid or cancellation fees toward a future event.   

 

5. Do you offer unlimited sessions? Unlimited prints? In today’s market this should be a given but it’s not always. Make sure the company allows unlimited sessions and provides unlimited prints.

 

6. How long have you been in business? It is good to see that the company you are hiring has a proven track record and has been in business more than 2-3 years which shows they have perfected their process.

 

7. Are you insured? It is often required by venues for vendors to carry liability insurance. And when it’s not, you, the customer, should require it. This takes a lot of liability off of you and is a great way to weed out any less than professional businesses.

 

8. How much do you charge? Does your price include tax and travel? This is important but should be the last question you ask rather than the first. Make sure they are including any tax and travel fees if applicable. Choose the company that fits best with what you want and work with them to determine what package options work best for your budget.
