The minimum length requirements is always 6ft.  The more space the better obviously as we like to set up additional lighting equipment etc to really take some jazzy pictures.

Q: What types of events are photo booths used at?

A: Since a photo booth will make any event fun and memorable, we recommend it for events such as wedding receptions, birthday parties, proms, school dances, trade shows, conventions, reunions, graduation parties, anniversaries, fundraisers, sporting functions, charitable giving, corporate events, and anywhere there is a party!

Q: How does the photo booth work?

A: Enter the booth, grab a prop if you wish, the attendant will hit the start button, smile, strike a pose and the booth will take your picture. Photos will be displayed on the monitor inside the booth. And just 15 seconds later the photos are printed and available outside the photo booth.

Q: Do you post any photos on Facebook?

A: Oh, yes! Facebook is a huge part of our business and we post (with approval of the host) one photo from each photo strip on our Facebook page as part of our package offering. Oh, the fun these photos generate!! And you get to tag yourself in the photos and let the fun run wild!

Q: Is the photo booth easy to use?

A: The photo booth is very easy to use. A welcome screen tells you exactly what to do. Our photo booth attendants are there to get you started on each session, and we even push the start button for you! A viewing screen will give a 5-second countdown before each consecutive picture is taken.  The screen counts down between each photo booth shot, so you can’t miss your cue to smile! In less than 15 seconds, your guests will receive a printout of their picture outside the booth. And don’t forget, our booth attendant is always there to answer any of your questions.

We offer unlimited photo booth session during your rental time.

Q: Do you just drop off the photo booth at the event?

A: No, a professional staff member will stay with the booth throughout your event. We make sure everything is running smoothly and assist guests in using the booth. You do not need to worry about delivery, set-up, operation, or take down. We greet the guests, center them in the photo, tell them where to look, push the button to get you started and even hand out your final photo strips.  PIC A PHOTOBOOTH offers the “No Worries Advantage” package to you with every rental!

Q: Do you have any props for guests to use while taking pictures?

A: Yes! We are known for our many fun props of hats, glasses, hand cards and much more to add to the fun of your night. It is your option to use them or not, as for some weddings and other events, having props can sometimes take away from the “formal” setting of an event and the classic feel of a photo booth. We also offer themed props at no additional costs, just ask!

Q: Are the pictures in color or in black & white?

A: Your guest decides! Two buttons are available inside the booth, one for color and the other for black & white prints. Just select which one and the camera does the rest.

Q: Can we personalize the photo strip for our event?

A: Yes you can. Upon booking you will receive a Booking email notification that has a link to a Print template info web form that you will fill out that will allow our graphics design team to custom design the print template according to your specifications.

Q: What is a Memory book?

A: A Memory Book is a professional grade album that will contain a copy of each of your photo booth prints from the event, handwritten notes by your guests and many mementos of your event. In essence, it is a photo guest book containing all of your guest’s photos from the photo booth. Each photo is placed in a 2×6 or 4×6 slip in located on the front and back of the pages and your guests are welcome to sign next to it and or offer any comments. Your memory book is yours at the end of the event and is a treasured keepsake!  Many of our customers tell us that they display this Memory Book on their coffee table and look through it many times as it brings back so many fun memories and captures hundreds of funny photo booth moments!

Q: What type of camera and printer do you use in the photo Booth?

A: Our photo booth is equipped with a DLSR camera. The images are printed on a high quality, high speed, dye-sublimation thermal printer, similar to ones used by professionals, just a smaller scale.

A: Yes. We have many different Open Air and inflatable background colors and styles.

Of course we send you a copy of the webpage link once it’s ready so that you and your guests can download and share the pictures from the event.

Q: Where do you typically setup the booth?

A: We like to see the booth in the main reception area, near the dance floor so guests are sure to stop by. However, we work with each event host to place the booth according to their specifications, decorations and traffic flow for each event.

Q: Do you have any suggestion on how to make sure that all guest use the photo booth as many times as they would like?

Once the fun and laughter start, many people will be in line to get a piece of this fun activity!

A: We do outdoor events. If there is inclement weather conditions during the course of the outdoor event it is at the discretion of PIC A PHOTOBOOTH staff to terminate the event and any monies paid is non-refundable as we must protect the equipment. Of course the client is made aware of this possibility when they rent a photo booth from PIC A PHOTOBOOTH for an outdoor event.  We always recommend and suggest to the client if they do have an outdoor event that they provide reasonable accommodations  for the photo booth area to prevent a stoppage of the photo booth due to inclement weather conditions.
