Check out our FAQs for all the details!

What Is an Open-Air Photo Booth?

An open-air photo booth is a modern twist on the classic photo booth. Unlike traditional enclosed booths, it has no walls, allowing onlookers to watch the photo sessions. It features a 7-foot-wide backdrop and 8 feet of space between the backdrop and the kiosk, offering plenty of room for large group shots.

What Are the Space and Power Requirements?

To set up our photo booth, we need a clear, solid space measuring 8 feet by 10 feet by 10 feet. Additionally, it should be within 50 feet of a power outlet to function properly.

Can We Use the Photo Booth Outdoors?

Yes, the photo booth can be set up outdoors, but it must be shielded from the elements. If there's a chance of bad weather, an indoor backup location should be available. Also, outdoor lighting will need to be tested to ensure the photos come out well.

How Many Photos Can We Print?

There’s no limit! We provide unlimited prints for our Timeless Moments package so you can capture all your favorite moments.

Is There a Limit to the Number of Photos My Guests Can Take?

No, there’s no limit! We want your guests to have as much fun as possible and capture every moment.

Can I Customize the Photo Templates for My Event?

Absolutely! Our team will contact you before the event to begin the design process. We'll send you a questionnaire to understand your event's style and vibe, then create a few template options for you to choose from.

What Type of Props Are Available?

We offer a wide selection of high-quality props and stay up-to-date with the latest trends. We may even have some fun extras to keep things exciting!

Do I Need to Provide Wifi for the Photo Booth?

Wifi is helpful but not essential for booking. If available, it allows guests to instantly download and share their photos. If there’s no wifi, guests will receive their images once we connect to a secure network or after the event, when we return to our office. Our booths and printers don’t require wifi to function.

Will an Attendant Be Present at My Event?

Yes, every photo booth rental comes with a dedicated attendant who will manage setup, operation, and teardown. They’ll assist guests with props, poses, and ensure everyone gets their photos quickly and smoothly.

Can We Extend the Photo Booth Rental Time?

We understand plans may change, and you may need more time. However, additional hours must be requested at least 72 hours in advance. We cannot accept last-minute extensions on the event day, so please reach out early if you need more time.

What Are the Accessibility Requirements at the Event Venue?

The photo booth needs a level, solid, and accessible space that’s at least 8 feet tall (for the backdrop) and 7 feet wide by 9 feet long. The area should be easy to access since the equipment is heavy and cannot be moved up stairs. If set up outdoors, the booth must be sheltered from weather, with an indoor backup location available if needed.

Are There Additional Charges for Travel or Delivery in Southern California?

We serve all of Southern California, with no travel fees for events within 50 miles of our San Diego location. For events beyond that, we’ll calculate a travel fee based on the distance and booth rental duration. We can provide a detailed quote during the inquiry process.

Do You Offer Different Photo Booth Styles?

All of our booths are modern open-air photo booths. With sleek designs, they blend seamlessly into any event without being an eyesore.

How Far in Advance Should I Book the Photo Booth?

It’s best to book early, especially for popular dates. We recommend reserving your booth at least 2-3 months in advance, as certain dates can book up over a year in advance. If you’re interested, reach out as soon as possible to secure your date. We can handle last-minute bookings depending on availability, but we can’t guarantee availability.
