How To Choose The Best Photo Booth Rental

Choosing a photo booth rental company for your event is exciting but with so many companies out there, how do you decide on which one to book? Well, there's some things you should look for so that you're choosing the best photo booth rental for your needs. 

Budget
The amount of money you want to spend is always important because you don't want to go over the allocated budget you have for your event. Pick a dollar amount you feel comfortable with before choosing your photo booth rental company but keep in mind that a low budget will likely prevent you from finding top quality photo booth rental companies to hire. Also, remember that sales tax will usually be added to the base price.

Quality
  • Type of Photo Booth - Not all photo booth rentals are created equal. There are enclosed photo booth rentals where guests step into a box. These photo booth rentals are very compact but don't allow the best lighting since the light is so close to the guests. Also, typically these photo booth rentals have small light sources which means harsher shadows. Open air photo booth rentals don't have walls but instead have a photo booth control station that houses the equipment and the background is set up separately. This allows more room for guests and allows the use of larger light sources and better depth for light distribution.
  • Prints - On-the-spot prints are awesome but not all prints have the same quality. A big problem with many photo booth rentals is that the color accuracy and/or brightness is bad. What this means is when a guest uses a photo booth rental with bad color accuracy settings, the photo may look fine on the screen, but the prints come out looking pale, dark, or too bright. Higher quality photo booth rental companies know how to color match prints to the screen so that what you're seeing on the screen when using the photo booth, will be close to what you see on the actual prints.
  • Lighting - Photography is all about light and not knowing the proper way to set up lighting can mean that your photos will come out too dark or overly bright. Not only that, but the light modifiers help make photos look even better with softer shadows and more even distribution of light. Higher quality photo booth rental companies know how to properly set up lighting for amazing looking photos.
  • Backdrops - The type of backdrops a photo booth rental company uses is important. Some photo booth rental companies use fabrics that show wrinkles more easily, while others have backdrop stands that have legs that stick out which is likely to cause trip hazards. Higher quality photo booth rental companies have snug fit backdrops with high quality prints on them and some also provide sequin backdrop options. These higher quality photo booth rental companies will also have backdrop stands that have flat bases that prevent trip hazards.
  • Props - Props are props right? Well yes and no. Yes, you can use props to have fun, but lower quality photo booth rental companies use lower quality props. What this means is that the stick props will reflect light easily and many times you won't be able to see the prop in the final photo because the flash will reflect and make it appear washed out. Higher quality photo booth rental companies will use felt stick props which don't reflect light. This means your photos will clearly show the props you used to create that fun photo.

Customer Service
One of the most important things to consider when booking a photo booth rental company is the quality of the customer service. A photo booth rental company needs to be able to respond to inquiries quickly and make potential customers and clients feel like they are being taken care of. The on-site attendants also need to be polite and help guests have fun during their event. The last thing you want is a photo booth rental company failing to respond to you leading up to an event, and this brings us to our next important aspect which is reviews.

Reviews
Researching a photo booth rental company's reviews are important because it will help you feel more confident knowing that others had a great experience working with that photo booth rental company. Companies with little to no reviews doesn't necessarily mean they won't do a good job but it's more of a risk. Photo booth rental companies with more reviews, and that have been in business for several years will likely provide a more predictable and smooth experience.

Features
Photo booth rental companies have many features to offer but sometimes they will charge extra for each feature you want to add. Some popular features that clients want are: green screen technology, social media sharing, online digital photo access, filter prints, GIFs, and more. If you're looking for the most features, make sure you check if there are additional add-on fees for each of those features or else you will be in for a surprise when you see the final quote.

We hope that helps!

Thanks for these tips on how to find a good photo booth rental. I agree that you want to make sure that a photo booth has high quality, on the spot prints. My fiancee and I want to have a photo booth for our wedding this August, so we'll have to consider the print quality first.

My daughter's second birthday is approaching and my husband and I are looking to host a birthday party for her. As we are going with a Pocoyo-themed party, we are looking for a photography backdrop that is in harmony with the theme. When I do look for a backdrop provider, I will definitely consider the quality as well as my budget to ensure I make the right choices.

My sister just mentioned the other day that she is thinking of hosting a birthday party for her son who is turning 1 in a few months. I will suggest to her looking for a reputable photo booth rental company that is reliable.

You are worried while you are working hard for a living, which is to stay financially secure and protect your assets. A limited liability company is an ideal type of business entity for startups and small and medium sized companies. The company owner will get many incentives with much simpler rules and regulations.

I never knew that light modifiers improve the quality of images by softening shadows and distributing light more evenly. I never thought that it would be like this, I'll share this with my aunt. Thank you for the information about lighting.

It's interesting when you said that knowing the appropriate way to set up lighting is important for photography. A couple of days ago, my sister told me that she was hoping to have a photo booth that could provide unlimited photos for her birthday next week, and he asked if I had any idea what would be the options to consider.

Hi Eli,


Yes,
It’s very important to check the market before you book something, in special a photo booth for a wedding. Those photos can’t be replaced if something goes wrong. We would love to be part of your sister’s wedding.
If you have questions let us know.


Thank you,
