Absolutely! Our clients typically choose to have their names and their event date printed on their index prints. However, any unique message, graphics, logos, etc can be displayed at no additional charge. We will email you a proof of how our overlay will look for your review. Feel free to have us make any changes you like as we are not happy, until you are. Some more custom elaborate themed layouts do have additional cost.

Yes, we offer Black, White, Red, and a Green Screen (optional) for computer inserted graphics. You can also provide your own if you choose. Our backdrops measure 5 feet wide by 7 feet tall. Make sure it is not a shiny or "glittery fabric as this will reflect the flash.
Do you require a damage deposit?
No.
Do you have any suggestions on choosing an area for the photo booth?
We recommend that you try and position the photo booth as close to the action as possible. This way you and your guests will get more use out of it than if it were located in another room away from the party.
Do you offer photo booths in different colors other than white?
Currently not at this time. The doorway curtain can be changed to a different color for free, or you can bring your own. Please give us a call more details.
