Q: Do you actually bring the photobooth to events?
A: Yes, all 750 lbs.
Q: How many photobooths do you have?
A: We currently have seven photobooths.
Q: Does the photobooth print out photos on the spot like the ones at the mall?
A: Yes, but... with much higher quality and faster speed. The photos can also be personalized for your event.
Q: Do people have to pay for the photobooth?
A: No. It's a flat-fee rental so the photobooth is free and unlimited for the duration.
Q: How does the photobooth work?
A: It's simple. Guests simply go in the photobooth and touch the red Start button on the touch-screen. They then choose B&W or Color. There's a voice countdown for each of six poses. The photo drops into the slot outside just 15 seconds later. Instant gratification!
Q: Will the photos fade or discolor afterwards like mall photobooths or some instant photo novelties?
A: No! The photos are always sharp and will not fade or discolor for approx. 100 years. They're also totally dry when they print so there's no wet ink or chemicals to smell up your event. They're even water resistant and won't show a fingerprint.
Q: How long does it take for the photos to print?
A: Photos are printed out of the photobooth in about 15 seconds. It's the same premium-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 typical event time is 4 hours. We can do additional hours for a modest fee. At most events, it goes pretty continuously for 4-6+ hours. We can also arrange full-day and multi-day rentals.
Q: Is there a limit on how many photos can be taken during an event?
A: No, the photos are unlimited.
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: When you book, you have the option of having all the digital negatives from your event saved on a disk. This includes all the files for each individual pose as well as the six-pose formatted prints. Unlike the photobooths of old where there is only one original photo, these photos can be printed again and again — or enlarged — from your disk.
Q: Do you just drop off the photobooth at the event?
A: Besides delivery, set up and take down of the photobooth, we also stay on-site with it during the event to make sure it's running smoothly the entire time.
Q: What is the photo guest book/scrapbook option and how does it work?
A: People always prefer this over the traditional "sign in" guestbook. We provide a high quality scrapbook along with gel pens, scissors, and archival adhesive. This is set up on a table next to the photobooth and our on-site attendant would also there to minimally assist guests with filling up the pages. Your guests can write captions, well wishes, random thoughts, and personal messages alongside whatever poses or strips they choose to include. Besides being great fun for your guests, this custom photo guest book will be entertaining and heartwarming to look back on years from now. Feel free to read this article about photobooth scrapbook/guestbooks.
Q: How does the photobooth provide favors for guests?
A: There's a center space between the two strips of photos that can be personalized for the event. This is done at no extra charge. This space can include info such as names, logos or monogram, date, landmark location, a message, etc. We can also design a graphic embellishment that suits the event theme, style or color scheme.
Photobooth photos make great keepsakes/favors because: 1) they're distinctive, have timeless appeal and have been part of our pop culture since 1925, 2) guests love the whole photobooth idea and being able to create their own photos, 3) the prints are very high quality and won't fade for 100 years, and 4) they can be personalized for your event!
Additional photobooth favor ideas: You can provide frames, photo glass coasters, bookmark sleeves or photo stands for your guests — or even bracelets, like these or these.
Q: How does the photobooth provide a marketing/branding opportunity for businesses and events?

A: Length = 4’9”, Width = 2’5", Height = 6’2”, Weight = 770-lbs
Q: What if the event is on the third floor of a building... can the photobooth fit in a passenger elevator?
A: Usually, it can fit in a standard elevator.
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.

A: The photos measure 4"x6", with a strip of three photos down each side (6 poses per print) and a personalized event graphic printed down the middle. You can even frame them in a standard size frame.
Q: Can you accommodate outdoor events?

Q: Do guests get to decide if they'd like color or black & white when they enter the photobooth?
A: Yes, guests choose black & white or color for each photobooth session. By request, the photobooth can also be set up for one or the other for the entire event.
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 Vermont, western Mass, and eastern New York. If we're out of your area, we'd be happy to try to refer you to someone closer.
Q: What is needed to book the photobooth?
A: A $500 deposit and a signed contract.
