Are prints included with your rental rates?

Yes they are. Each photo booth session takes from three to four pictures which are then printed seconds later on a single 4x6 index print or if you can choose two identical 2x6 photo strips for your guest to keep. Our rental rates include unlimited sessions. We also offer optional additions such as double ($25/HR) or triple prints ($50/HR) which give guests either 2 or 3 copies of each session.

 
Can we have a special message displayed in our index prints?

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.

 
Can we choose color or B&W prints?

Yes. Even though you may choose B&W index prints for the day of your event, the image files we provide for you still allow the option of reprinting the same images in color.

 
When is a the final payment due?

We require final payment 7 days prior to the event. This allows us to make all the final arrangements to ensure your event goes off perfectly smooth. Payments can be made by check, cash or credit card.

Yes, We now offer a variety of different print configurations to choose from. Click on the "Sample Galleries" tab above to view the different choices.

 
Can we choose the color background?

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.
