25+ Best Wedding Photobooth Hire Suppliers in Melbourne (2024)

wedding photobooth melbourne, victoria vines

Photo booths have become remarkably affordable in the last few years making photo booth hire more accessible for all occasions. You only have to go back a few years to when the photo booth hire craze started in 2007 and compare prices to know this is true.

A photo booth is the perfect way to keep wedding guests entertained between the speeches and formalities. To ensure you are booking a fun, reputable and easy-to-use photo booth that fits your budget, read the vendor's customer reviews and arrange to view the product in person.

With so much competition has entered the market since then the same photo booth hire operators that used to charge over $1000 for a few hours hire are now hundreds of dollars cheaper! There are also lots more styles and sizes to choose from with varying functionality depending on your needs and if your event is mid-week there are photo booth rental operators who start from as little as a few hundred dollars to hire a photo booth.

Of course with increased demand for photo booth hire comes an increase in pitfalls for the consumer. Not all photo booths are made equal and not all photo booth hire operators are as good as one another. 

If you have been to a wedding with a photo booth you’ll know that a bit of photo booth magic is just what every wedding reception needs. Not only does In the Booth give your guests fantastic entertainment for the entire reception, you also get a unique photographic record of the evening in a wonderfully relaxed and candid way. If your guests aren’t dancing or eating, we can guarantee you will find them in the booth!

Vines of the Yarra Valley, one of Melbourne's best wedding venues, have put together an ultimate list of photobooth providers in Melbourne.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wedding Photobooth

Capture still or moving images with modern photo booths and add a custom logo or frame to each photo. Most modern photo booth companies also provide access to an online wedding gallery after the big day, making it easy for you and your guests to relive the memories.

~www.simplebooth.com

For weddings its better to start the photo booth after cake cutting and the first dance. Small events with 25 guests or less get more value for money with a 2 hour event. Weddings & birthdays with 50 – 100 guests are better suited to 2/3 hours.

~photoboothmachine.co.uk

There is typically no limit on the number of times that a guest can enter the photo booth so family and friends can keep returning to the photo booth any number of times that they wish, with as many friends or family as they can fit in front of the backdrop! ... “Many couples use the photo booth as their wedding favor.

~glitterybride.com

Photo booths provide a fun non-dancing activity for you and your guests—and the photos can double as favors as well! On average, most couples in the U.S. spend between $425 to $1,000 on wedding rentals, with photo booth starting prices coming in at about $551 for a three hour package.

~www.weddingwire.com

A photo booth is fun for guests of all ages, and it'll give your attendees something to do when they need a break from the dance floor. Plus, photo booths can be a great ice breaker for guests who haven't seen each other in a while or who don't know a lot of people at your wedding.

We bring digital cameras for guests and print polaroids of the photos for a unique polaroid guestbook. From just $945! Mention this ad for 10% off!

The best alternative to a photobooth. But we do photobooths too.

We are a new take on disposable cameras and Polaroid cameras, producing beautiful high definition polaroids for the guests to take home, and a second copy for the couple to store in an album or display. The digital copies are stored too, so guests and the hosts can reprint photos later, share online or send to family and friends. Guests can't take the only copy like a polaroid and can't use up all the film with useless images like a disposable. There is more to a wedding than the need to pull faces or pose nicely, and while we capture those too, we also get loads of shots that professional photographers and photobooths can't.

Visit our profile to see what we have on offer. Packages starting from $299. We are one of the biggest photobooth companies in Melbourne. Ranked in Top 10 Photo Booth Companies in Australia by Photobooth Finder.

We provide quality State-Of-The-Art Photobooth for a very affordable price. How do we do it?

It's quite simple; we provide quality photobooth at big volumes; we do more than 300 events a year.

Why not hire a wedding photo booth to make sure your guest enjoy the day along with you.

The chances of you seeing the pictures of everyone at the party is slim when you go round to see what they have snapped.

You will see only a few pictures of your guests. Like photos, guests also give the couple keepsakes like books with congratulations and good wishes written on it after the reception.

What if you have the chance to put these things together in a way where everyone can share it? Hire a photo booth for a wedding, and you have your chance.

"MGB WERE THE BEST. SO EASY & FUN TO USE. WE ALL LOVED IT." - Claire K

We created MGB to meet the demand of couples wanting a booth that was beautiful, easy to use and entertaining.

A planner told us the other day that MGB is her #1 Wedding Booth for couples who are seeking a point of difference.

Older style 'photo booths' are being phased out as they can be seen as tacky and outdated. Most brides want their wedding reception to be described as unique, fun and beautiful. The right booth can really help.

What Melbourne GIF Booth does:

  • We use a professional model ring light, so everyone looks AMAZING!!!
  • We have digital software to allow both photos and GIFs (like a boomerang) to fully capture everyone's energy on the night.
  • The photos and GIFs get immediately sent via text to be viewed, saved and/or shared.
  • The photos and GIFs will have your watermark on them with the font and design that matches your wedding or invitation aesthetics
  • As a BONUS, you can access the gallery with ALL the photos and GIFs from the night. All the antics, all the moments, all the memories. At your fingertips.

But it is probably best to see us in action - jump over to watch our video or visit our website.

One of our brides said "To be honest I didn't know what a 'GIF Booth' was, but all my girlfriends are now trying to get MGB at theirs. It was actually really cool. I was impressed. And everyone loved the GIFs during and after the night." - Sarah

Melbourne GIF Booth provides more than your typical Photo/GIF Booth; capturing the unique moments of your wedding whilst maintaining a style and elegance that works in beautifully with what you are hoping to create.

Our Open Plan Booth lets your guests take some FUNtastic memories on your Wedding Day!

Our brand new Photo Booth service is Open Plan, and as such you'll be able to fit five, ten, twenty people in the frame - as many as you can fit in front of the camera!

And with a full service already included in our competitive price, all you have to do - is pull a face!

The Open Plan Photo Booth comes fully equipped with:

  • The Camera, Printer and Screen - adaptable to any location (even upstairs!).
  • 4-hour hire and operation, with setup times, arranged to suit your event.
  • Unlimited Printing - make as many memories as you like!
  • Complete Props and Accessories Kit - with a range of items to add a little crazy to your shot. Your choice of Gloss or Matte paper.

  • Friendly attendant to assist with the operation of the booth - they'll even help put your guest book together!

With so much competition having entered the market since then the same photo booth hire operators that used to charge over $1000 for a few hours hire are now hundreds of dollars cheaper! There are also lots more styles and sizes to choose from with varying functionality depending on your needs and if your event is mid week there are photo booth rental operators who start from as little as a a few hundred dollars to hire a photo booth.

Of course with increased demand for photo booth hire comes an increase in pit falls for the consumer. Not all photo booths are made equal and not all photo booth hire operators are as good as one another. Here at Photobooth Finder, we screen all of our operators to do our best to only connect you with quality service providers.

Our words of wisdom if you want a cheap photo booth for an event are:

- Cheapest is not always best

- Research the style of booth you want

- Compare as many operators as you can

- Don't make your choice based on price alone, but compare features to find something of good quality in your budget

- Be prepared to pay more if you're event is really important (eg a Wedding) as quality never comes cheap

Why you should pay more for a Wedding Photo Booth

Getting married is undoubtedly the single most important event in anyone's life and ensuring that their wedding day goes well is of utmost importance. However ask any current or former bride or groom and they will all tell you that as soon as they mentioned the word "Wedding" to a supplier they had the feeling the supplier saw dollar signs roll across their eyes and heard the "cha ching" of cash registers.

It is fair enough then that this perceived price gouging has created some cynicism in the mind of the general public. For most wedding suppliers, including photo booth operators, there are actually some very legitimate reasons why they do charge relatively more and why you should actually be glad!

If you know anything about business you will know that all businesses have to bring in more revenue than their expenses to turn a profit. If they do that well enough and have money left over to reinvest in making their businesses better and continue to grow that basically makes them a successful business. There are 4 simplified business models I am going to talk about and all can achieve success if executed well however only one type is the type I would recommend choosing when it comes to choosing a photo booth or other successful wedding supplier. This is not to say that of you choose the others you're in for problems or the operators won't do a good job. Only that this model has the lowest level of potential risk versus value for money and when it comes to weddings if you can afford it you want as much chance of success as possible for that special day.

Many successful professional wedding suppliers work on a business model of what I like to call "less equals more". Less clients paying more gives them more time to look after each client in a manner befitting the fact that those clients by the very nature of their event require more work, planning and customer service than regular clients. Successful lower priced suppliers work on the opposite business model of "more equals less". More clients paying less means the the more clients they need but the less time they have for each of them. Of course in between just to confuse things is the "more equals more" model which is colloquially called a rip off merchant and the "less equals less" model aka pay peanuts get monkeys! There is plenty of grey area in between and of course I am being very general but when it comes to your wedding which supplier business model would you want looking after you given the transparent choice?

At the end of the day the equation is actually very simple regardless of the business model. Wedding clients take a lot more of a suppliers time and efforts than general clients and they deserve to be paid accordingly.

What extra work is involved in a Wedding Photo Booth Hire?

Let's break it all down for you so you can see exactly what I am talking about in regards to how much extra work is involved for a wedding photo booth hire for a professional wedding photo booth hire operator.

Pre Booking

Before a bride engages a photo booth operator she is likely to ask a lot more questions and want to know a lot more about them via phone calls, emails and in person meetings. Many photo booth hire operators will exhibit at Wedding expos and venue open days to showcase their product direct to brides. This all takes up more of their time and money which forces up their businesses break even point. In other words they need to bring in more revenue to cover costs to attract wedding clients.

Pre Hire

During the planning process brides require special attention as they generally are very particular about what they want and/or they need close guidance through the whole process. They are often very busy organising all the elements to their wedding and the photo booth is often lowest on the list. This means photo booth operators spend a lot of time chasing brides for booking confirmations, answering their queries, finalising booking details, creating artwork or chasing payments etc. Couple all that with the fact that brides are known to change their minds and operators have to be all over it to keep up but again this all takes up valuable time and time is money.

Note: A professional Wedding photo booth operator will never cancel a booking in order to take up a better offer from an easier to deal with client as they have charged their services correctly. This may not be so true of other operators particularly those at the very lower end of the scale. The last thing a bride needs is having to deal with finding a new photo booth operator in the weeks leading up to their wedding.

The Hire

Unlike other hires on the day (and often for the week leading up to the big day) the bride is not available to talk to which means everything has to be 100% sorted and ready well in advance. From liaising with the venue and all the behind the scenes planning to setting up logo graphics on the photo booth it all has to be ready to go on the day. Given there is no room for error professional wedding photo booth operators will often also ensure they have spare components (eg printers, screens) and more than required amounts of media or peripheral items in case of unexpected issues and/or have extra staff on standby. All this extra preparation and redundancies can really eat into profits.

Post Hire

Timely preparation of CDs, USBs, online galleries and other items happens post hire along with follow ups to ensure clients are happy with how everything went. Should there have been a problem whether the fault of a photo booth operators or not professional photo booth operators will do whatever it takes to keep their clients happy including full or partial refunds and/or future hire discounts.

Conclusion

So now that you know about all the extra hard work and planning that is involved in ensuring the successful deliver of a wedding photo booth you may change your mind about exactly what is going on in the eyes of a truly professional wedding supplier. For most of them it's not actually dollar signs but them calculating how hard they are going to have to work to earn those dollars and often the ones best placed to do that are going to charge you a little more but the good ones are going to look after you much better too.

Of course there will always be wedding suppliers who don't bring the extra value they are charging brides and grooms and sadly they give all the legitimate suppliers a bad name but so long as you do your research and engage a reputable specialist wedding supplier be glad that you paid a little extra for your wedding photo booth.

Photobooth Hire Guide

There are two main types of photo booth setups you can hire: enclosed and open.
Within these options are many sub categories depending on style and functionality.

We like to define the different types of photo booths as follows to help you choose the perfect booth for rental.

Types of Booths Diagram

 

Enclosed

Enclosed photo booths either have curtains, walls, panels or a combination to ensure its users are hidden away from prying eyes while they pose for their glamorous, or not so glamorous shots. Enclosed photo booths come in a variety of sizes generally fitting 2 to 16 people, while incorporating a variety of materials from steel cabinets, curtain rod enclosures to cubicle style walling.

The level of sturdiness of these photo booths varies greatly depending on construction. A number of hire companies choose to build their own rather than adding a professionally manufactured machine to their stock. The smaller photo booths for hire will tend to have a bench seat, whereas the larger photo booths are often made for users to stand.

Open

Open photo booths are just as they sound - open for all to see. Like the enclosed photo booths, open photo booths for hire come in all different styles but they generally allow for more people than the enclosed photo booths. They also allow people to watch which can create a fun atmosphere – great for show ponies. Of course, on the downside, there is no privacy, which can inhibit some people. When choosing the right photo booth for hire, be mindful of how any potential flashes, booth lighting or noise will affect the surrounds of where you set up an open photo booth.


Traditional

Traditional Photo Booth - Vintage Style

Vintage style

Made of sturdy steel and based on the style and basic look of the original photo booth, most of today’s machines have been fitted out with the latest digital technology. These machines often have a computer screen, which not only lets users select different options but also shows the user as they pose. Many of these photo booths for hire have a seat or bench and are made to comfortably fit two to three people. They have been known to fit a great deal more – albeit uncomfortably. Due to the weight of all steel construction, transporting these rental photo booths up flights of stairs can prove challenging. For those not worried about high tech, there are still some vintage chemical ink processing machines for the authentic old school prints.

Traditional Photo Booth - Retro StyleRetro style

Retro style photo booths evolved from their vintage predecessors so are very similar in many aspects. Although unlike the vintage photo booths they were always designed to be mobile which makes them perfect for the photo booth hire  market. They all have an internal screen and offer high quality prints via the latest digital technology and components. The retro style photo booths that are used by most operators are purpose built for the photo booth rental industry. The same type of booth you can also see in the arcade market. Both vintage and retro style photo booths will provide that classic photo-strip look which is all about facial expressions rather than fitting everyone in the shot (Image: Kingdom Photo Booth)

Traditional Photo Booth - Modern Style

Modern style

Modern photo booths for hire are bigger than the retro booths and made of panels, curtains or walls and are great for fitting in big groups of people. They are often demountable so they can be lifted upstairs. Some booths will come with an internal computer screen. Guests using a photo booth without a screen will be unaware of when the shots are taken. The modern photo booth is aimed to fit the maximum number of guests and with no seat, users stand freely.  (Image: Borsellino Photography)

Kiosk

Kiosk Photo Booth

This refers to any photo booth that is “column-like” in structure. Some have computer screens or mirrors to show users posing. The advantage of this style is there is no limit to the number of people who could potentially be in the shot when set up in the open style. Be sure to note what will be in the background of the shots, especially if no special backdrop or partition is provided. The kiosk booth can be set up open or enclosed, and most operators with kiosk photo booths for hire offer both possibilities at different price points. Kiosk can also refer to "print stations" which facilitate the instant printing of pictures taken by mobile devices (eg using Instagram) or a photo booth. (Image: Kingdom Photo Booth)

Photographer

Photographer Photo Booth

This refers to any photo booth hire setup where a photographer uses their camera to take the pictures while guests pose for them. This can be done in both an open and enclosed setup often with various backdrops or partitions. Many photographers that offer this service do not include the cost of prints or limit the number of shots.

Novelty

Novelty Photo Booth

The novelty category is where you find the latest crazes in photo booth rental entertainment like Slow-Mo Video Booths, Mirror Booths, GIF Booths and Instagram printing Kiosks. Also here you'll find inventive operators turning cars and caravans into photo booths for even more fun settings. Another option is a “cartoon booth” which uses computer software to incorporate cartoon characters into the shots. Consider whether a novelty booth would enhance your event.

Mirror Booth

Mirror Booth Photo Booth

The Mirror Booth has become one of the hottest new photo booth hire trends. Taking the ultimate tool of narcissism and making it a photo booth is genius and oh so much fun! For the uninitiated a Mirror Booth is generally a full length mirror with two way glass which has a camera hidden behind a touch screen. To learn more about the Mirror Booth check out a the article "Mirror Booth Fad or Fab"

Things to consider when hiring a Photo Booth

Size / Capacity

The size of a photo booth is very important to consider when finding the right booth for your event. Naturally, the bigger the photo booth the more people that can fit into each shot, however, you need to be mindful of your venue and also that bigger is not always best. Bigger booths often take up a great deal of floor space, especially when factored in with peripheral items such as tables for props or album setups. Be sure to check what is appropriate with your venue. Nowadays some booths can fit a hoard of people. As the hirer you need to think about what you really want from the shots. As soon as more than a couple of people fit into the booth the shots can look similar to a group shot taken by a normal camera. Generally, the smaller and more intimate booths produce a completely different style of photo strip, which is all about facial expressions. Be sure to compare photo strip examples and then decide what is right for you and your event.

Print size

Photo strips come in a variety of sizes. The most common size is 2 x 6 inches (5 x 15cm) with four individual frames making up the photo strip. Some machines print three frames, while others print five or six frames in a variety of different frame sizes often printed as a single 4 x 6 inch photo (10 x 15cm). Some (often the home made machines) simply take normal pictures rather than photo strips. Be mindful of how you want the final product to appear.

Photostrip 5x15cm

 

Photostrip 10x15cm

Print copies

Prints are most commonly doubles with the idea being the guest keeps one and the hirer keeps the other. Often the duplicate is placed in a guest photo album, accompanied by a handwritten message. Most machines cut the strips, where others require an attendant or the hirer to cut them in two. There are some machines that only print single copies whilst others offer extra prints. Make sure you are aware of what is offered as part of your package.

Restrictions

Most photo booths require power which means setting up a booth at your local park may be impractical whereas a photographer-powered booth location might work well. Do not assume you can set up a booth outside as some companies may require shelter from the weather. Some machines can be quite heavy (up to 350kg) so make sure you consider stairs. They may also not fit through a standard doorway or be able to be disassembled. Before you book your photo booth hire operator, make sure they will be able to access your function space.

If you have any guests that are in a wheelchair or have difficulty accessing small spaces you may like to consider this when choosing a booth. The smaller traditional photo booths normally are not big enough to accommodate a wheelchair. Small children should also be considered as many booths cameras may be too high for them to be in shot. Some operators offer booster seats to overcome this and there are a few select operators who have mini booths designed specifically for kids events.

Booth For Your Bucks

Photobooth Finder is here to help you find the best option to suit your wedding, party, corporate event or function. We know the industry and there are plenty of pricing structures and offers out there relating to photo booth cost. This can be confusing for the uninitiated photo booth hirer or veteran alike.

Booth for your bucks

Our three top tips:

  • Cheapest is not always best.
  • Expensive is not always a sign of high quality.
  • Spending the time researching and comparing booths and photo booth cost puts you in the best position to make an informed choice.

Don’t stress, we’re here to help! Here is some additional information to help you make the best choice when it comes to photo booth hire cost.

Packages

Some operators offer all-inclusive packages while others give their best price for the basic hire and you add the extras you want. Most operators offer unlimited prints but there are a few who charge up to a maximum number of prints. Less commonly, and mainly found with professional photographers, some operators don’t include any prints but you normally can pay post hire for the prints you desire either directly with the photographer or by taking the electronic copies to a printer.

Delivery

Be sure to check if delivery to your venue is included or charged in addition to the photo booth hire cost. Many operators will charge a fee to travel to venues outside their standard area, something that isn’t always easily deciphered on their websites.

Meals

Some operators who provide an attendant will expect them to be fed during the hire period. Check this prior to booking, as this is a cost you will need to factor into your budget and when comparing photo booth hire prices.

Payment terms

Read the fine print as payment plans and cancellation fees vary greatly. This includes amounts required for deposits and when final payments are due.

Security bond

Some operators will ask for a bond to cover any damage done during your hire, especially for those operators that have unattended photo booths. Don’t despair – treat the booth well and the money will be returned to you after the hire.

Replacing props

If your package has props and any are broken or not returned, you will likely be charged a fee. Most operators will provide an inventory of their props.

Deals and discounts

When you enquire, be sure to advise your date as often photo booth operators will do deals for mid-week, early booking or last minute hires. Some also offer a better deal if you not only book early but also pay in full early so it's worth posing the question. However if you do negotiate to pay early be sure to read the fine print and know what portion is refundable should you have to cancel. It's also a good idea to only do this with long running reputable photo booth hire operators who are more likely to still be in business when your date finally rolls around.

Charities and fundraisers

Is your event for a good cause? Many photo booth hire operators will provide discounts or better deals to charities and fundraisers, so be sure to ask. An ideal arrangement for fundraisers is to get a cheaper price for the hire and then charge people to use the booth with the aim to recoup more money than the photo booth hire cost.

Coupon site deals

If you're thinking about booking via a coupon deal website, our advice is to beware! It might appear at the time you're getting a really good deal, but check the fine print. The deals can have fairly restrictive conditions and often getting an available date is a problem, especially for a Friday or Saturday. If possible check with the photo booth operator before purchasing any coupon to see if your date is available and if that really is the full photo booth hire cost for what you want. If you do get your date, your cheap deal may be at risk of being cancelled anytime so still be aware. This can often be the business model behind these cheap coupon deals. If the operator doesn’t get a better booking for your date, they will service your discount booking (rather than not have a booking at all) and you get a bargain. However, if the operator gets a booking for your date at their standard price, there is a chance they will cancel your booking and service the higher priced one.

Before the Photo Booth hire

The most common arrangement is that a hirer prepays (meaning your guests don't pay to use the machine) for the photo booth to operate for a set number of hours on a given date and time. The photo booth hire operator arranges to deliver, set up and remove the photo booth.

If the hirer wants the booth delivered earlier or to be kept for longer (particularly common for weddings and official events) an additional fee may be charged. Some operators (more often those with automated or unattended machines) often set up well before the hire time and not collect again until the next day, without extra charge. Whichever operator you consider, ensure you are aware of how they operate and any additional charges you should factor in your planning.

Inside a photo booth

During the Photo Booth hire

During the hire, guests simply step into the photo booth and if it’s automated they operate the machine (normally via an interface through touching a screen or pushing buttons). If it’s not automated, an attendant or photographer works it manually. Your guests don't pay anything for the photostrips as it's been prepaid by you, the hirer. Once the shots are taken, your guests step out, collect their photostrips from the dispenser – and usually have a giggle. If an album is included, guests can place a copy in the album and write a message, i.e. “Congratulations to the bride and groom!” or “Happy birthday!”.

After the Photo Booth hire

Most photo booths will save the pictures digitally, which may or may not be included in your package. If included, most companies will provide the images on a CD or USB and send this after the hire together with any security deposit held.


Do I need a Photo Booth hire Attendant?

Attended

Behind the curtains

Depending on the operator, some photo booth hire operators will include an attendant with the hire. The role of the attendant varies from company to company but some of their duties include cutting photostrips (not all machines do this), sticking photostrips into guest photo albums, changing paper when needed, assisting with props and generally facilitating the booth’s operations, while ensuring no damage is done. They may also be there to fix any technical issues should they arise. Many attendants will also endeavour to rouse the guests and add more fun to the photo booth experience, however, often the photo booth alone achieves this.

Unattended/Automated

Some operators will allow the hirer to turn the machine on. A small number of machines have timers which allow the machines to turn on or off at designated times, negating the need for an attendant to do so. The majority of companies offering this service use all steel cabinet machines which are much more durable and tolerant to a bit of fun. Make sure you check to ensure that someone will be on hand if you need any technical support during the hire. Most photo booth hire technical issues are relatively minor, with many able to be fixed over the phone.

There are countless options and extras to enhance your wedding, party, corporate event or function photo booth hire. Here are some of the most common additions:

Props

PropsProps are a great way to add colour and fun to photo booth hire. They can also help people to get into the swing of things, giving them ideas for facial expressions or coaxing fellow guests into the photo booth. Props can be hired from most operators, but the cost, quality and quantity will vary. The most common items you can expect to find in a props box are hats, wigs, glasses, moustaches on sticks, feather boas, masks, chalkboards and empty picture frames. Make sure you ask for an inventory of what’s included, as you can’t expect all these wonderful things to arrive with the photo booth. If you want a really good selection, it's far cheaper to hire a box than to try and buy your own. Remember, if you break or lose some props, you may be charged a replacement fee. More info...

CD / USB of Images

Definitely one of the must have extra's and often included as standard. Particularly important to have as not everyone is willing to show or share their photostrips for one reason or another but having all the digital copies ensures the event holder doesn't miss a thing. Also allows extra copies to be printed post hire at home or at your local print shop.

Video Messaging

This can be a great way to capture footage of your guests, however, the additional feature will eat into the number of photostrips you receive from your photo booth hire. You must consider the environment surrounding your photo booth such as loud music, which may affect the sound quality.

Albums

Photo Strip Album

Guestbook albums are a wonderful way for you to collect not only pictures but also written memories from your event. Most operators offer these but like all options, they can come in a variety of sizes, pages and materials. Most operators will let you provide your own if you prefer.

(Image: Flashback Photobooths)

Social Media

Some machines can send your picture directly to your Facebook or Instagram profile. This is done through asking you to sign into your account via the photo booth, after the session. Be mindful, this feature will eat into your photo booth hire time. Other photo booths will print with a QR code on the photo strip and by scanning the code with your phone you are automatically sent the picture. For these and other social media features, a good Wi-Fi or cable connection to the internet is required.

Logo/Theme

LogoThis is a personalised message or image printed as part of the photostrip. A logo is particularly worth considering for a wedding or special event to commemorate the occasion. For corporate photo booth hire it is especially good for branding (think gala dinners or tradeshows). The only downside is that the logo often replaces one of the frames meaning less pictures per strip, but potentially more photostrips overall as each session takes less time.

Canvas prints

The photostrip is blown up and printed on a canvas in any size. While they can be printed in colour, they look particularly great in black and white, especially when a bride and groom are featured.

Photostrip Frames

Photostrip FramesFrames come in a variety of materials including acrylic (normally in an L or T shape) and metal are the most common. They can also come with magnets to stick your favourite photostrips on the fridge. Photostrip frames make for a great bonbonniere for weddings and special events.

Backdrops/Curtains

Many photo booth hire operators will give the choice of different colours and styles of backdrops or curtains. This can be particularly useful if you have a theme, which the photo booth should enhance.

Branding

Branded Photo BoothFor corporate photo booth hire many photo booth hire operators offer the ability to cover the booth or parts of the booth with the client’s branding. The materials used vary from company to company, but the most common approaches are corflute, printed magnets or posters. For operators with internal or external screens, it may also be possible to have branding appear on the display. This branding is normally offered in conjunction with the logo appearing on the photostrip to maximise marketing potential. This works exceptionally well for shopping centre stalls, trade show and corporate events.

Coin Operation

Some operators of automated photo booths may hire their photo booths for use in “coin operation” mode. This means instead of prepaying for all the prints, you potentially only pay to have the photo booth delivered. This makes the upfront hiring cost less, but your guests pay for their own shots which is likely to make the hire more expensive overall. Coin operation works well for permanent installations at nightclubs and shopping centres, but can also be applied to fundraisers and fetes with both the hirer and operator agreeing to take a cut of the proceeds.

Red Carpet & Stanchions

You will however need to have quite a large space to accommodate such a setup so it's really advisable to check with your venue whether or not it's suitable for the space you have.

Other extras

Many photo booth hire operators will offer a variety of other extras to consider including (but not limited to) "save the date" and "thank you" cards, props on sticks and external monitors. Even if your chosen photo booth operator doesn’t list an extra service you want, many of them will tailor a package to suit your needs - just ask!
