Q: Do you actually bring the photobooth right to the event?
A: Yes, we just toss it over a shoulder and off we go. Kidding. We do, in fact, deliver and host this authentic 750 lb. vintage styled digital photobooth at all kinds of events.
Q: Do you just drop-off the photobooth at the event?
A: Besides the timely delivery and removal of the photobooth, we also provide an on-site host to keep an eye on the photobooth during the event to make sure it's running smoothly the entire time -- and to assist guests as necessary.
Q: Do you have just one photobooth?
A: We actually have four photobooths, all exactly the same.
Q: Does the photobooth print out photos on the spot like the ones at the mall?
A: Similar idea... only these photos are much higher quality and they print out in only 15 seconds. It's also a much more stylish photobooth (retro hip, vintage mod!). The photos are also personalized for your event and there are NO gimmicky computerized backgrounds, themes or "enhancements" — just the classic photobooth.
Q: Will the photos fade or change color afterwards like many Polaroids, instant photo novelties or some other digital photobooth?
A: These photobooth photos are professional studio quality prints and will not fade. In fact, they can last up to 100 years. There's a clear protective coating on top making them resistant to fingerprints, smudges and even drops of liquid.
Being digital, the photobooth has no environmentally yucky chemicals (unlike the old photobooths) and it's ink-free. The photos don't need to dry so there's no need to waive them in the air like other instant photos (except to show them off, of course).
Q: How long does it take for the photos to print?
A: Photos are printed out of the photobooth in just fifteen seconds using the same high-quality printing process used by professional photographers, graphic designers and publishers.
Q: What is the standard number of hours for renting the photobooth?
A: The starting point is four hours. At most events, the photobooth goes pretty continuously for four to six hours and sometimes longer. We can do additional hours for a modest fee. We can also arrange full-day, multi-day and multi-photobooth rentals.
Q: Can guests use the photobooth as often as they like during the event?
A: Yes, unlimited free usage for the duration.
Q: What if I want more than one copy of the same photo? Can I get copies of ALL the photos from my event?
A: While we can't print duplicates at the event, you DO have the option of having all the photobooth photos from the event saved on a CD. This includes the high resolution files for all the individual poses as well as the six-pose printed files. With this disk, you can make reprints, enlargements or be as creative as you like on your own afterwards. In you like, each priceless pose can be enlarged up to an 11x17" print! This is much different than the photobooths of old where there was only one original and no negative (although we recognize this charming feature and honor the photobooth purists among us!)
Q: Is the photobooth easy to use?
A: It's simple. Just touch the red 'Start' button on the touch-screen and then choose Black & White or Color. Your six photos are taken several seconds apart. There's a friendly voice that counts down for each pose ("4, 3, 2, 1"). Photos drop into a metal box built into the side of the photobooth just fifteen seconds later!
Q: What size are the photos printed by the photobooth?
A: The photobooth prints are a standard 4x6" size. There's a strip of three poses down each side (6 poses per print) and a white space down the center that is personalized with a graphic for the event.
Q: Does each person get to decide whether they'd like Black & White or Color?
A: Guests choose between Black & White or Color when they go into the photobooth. By request, the photobooth can also be set up for one or the other for an entire event (this can save a few seconds per session as the guests don't need to decide).
Q: What is the custom photo scrapbook/guestbook and how does it work?
A: We provide a high quality Kolo scrapbook. Our photobooth host will have a table set up with writing and cutting implements. He/she will assist your guests, as needed, with posting one or more photos onto the guestbook pages. Your guests can then inscribe a personal message to you alongside their photo(s). It's great casual fun and will be both humorous and heartwarming to look back on years later. Many people prefer this over the traditional "inventory of names" guestbook.
Q: How does the photobooth provide favors for guests?
A: The photos are personalized down the center with event information (logos, monogram, or a custom graphic to suit the events' theme or color scheme, etc). This is provided at no additional charge. Photobooth photos have lasting value as your guests will actually want to keep and display them for a long time. Photobooth photos are timeless!
"Unique and thoughtful favors leave a lasting impression and add a personal touch to your event. Your guests will especially appreciate gifts that they can use and treasure — with the photobooth, they will be creating the favors themselves, as many as they like, and have loads of fun doing it together! There is tremendous appeal to the idea that your guests will enjoy the favor long after the event has passed. One thing's for sure: the photobooth and these cool photo favors will give your event added pizzazz and personality!"
A small sampling of photobooth favor ideas you can provide for your guests include: small photo frames, photo coasters, bookmark sleeves, photo clips/placecard holders, bracelets (like these or these), photobooth frame necklace, etc.
Q: How does the photobooth provide a marketing/branding opportunity for businesses and events?
A: Company, sponsor or event logos can be imprinted on all the photos. Photobooth photos have timeless appeal. The unique and high quality photos will be kept and cherished for a long time. The photobooth itself provides a value added attraction to any promotional, charitable or corporate event.
Q: What are the dimensions of the photobooth?
A: Width = 2’5", Length = 4’9”, Height = 6’2”, Weight = 750 lbs
Q: What if the event is on the third floor of a building... can the photobooth fit in a passenger elevator?
A: It can usually fit in a standard elevator. Otherwise, guests *will* seek out the photobooth location once the "buzz" gets started and the photos start circulating around the room.
Q: Can you accommodate outdoor events?
A: Yes. As long as there's proximity to an electrical outlet and smooth access for transporting the photobooth into place there shouldn't be a problem. We can go across some grass (within reason) as long as it's flat and not too far (we'll be prepared with sheets of plywood to roll the photobooth across).
Q: What about power? Is any special kind of hookup necessary?
A: No. A standard 120v electrical outlet is all that's needed, preferably within 30 feet.
Q: Do you have any suggestions on how to make sure we and our guests get as many pictures as possible?
A: Yes. We recommend that you promote the photobooth within the event to make sure that everyone knows that it is available and free. Many of our clients have come up with creative ways to do this, but it can be as easy as asking the DJ or MC at your event to make an announcement. You can also leave notes at each place setting instructing your guests to visit the photobooth. If you are planning on using the photobooth photos as your party favor, and have purchased frames or bookmark sleeves, you can leave these at each place setting with a set of instructions.
Q: How far can you travel around the region?
A: Our typical coverage areas are Upstate New York (Albany-Saratoga, Adirondacks, Hudson Valley, Mohawk Valley) and Western New England (Vermont, Western Mass). If we don't travel to your area, we'd be happy to personally refer you to someone closer. Or, just check out America's Photobooth Association to find a high quality photobooth vendor in your region.
Q: What is needed to book the photobooth?
A: A $500 non-refundable deposit and a signed contract.
Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
A: You can pay with a check or any major credit card (online with PayPal). Cash is also accepted (no rolled coins).
