Photo Booth Hire

I often get asked about Photo Booth Hire and what it involves. *Update* Please read the end of this post regarding availability.

Over the weekend I was asked to supply the photo booth for a 21st Birthday Party so will cover it as part of a blog post.

This always goes down well with everyone, hiring a photobooth is one of the better ways to fill time and entertain guests during the day with the added extra that they get a very high end, high quality photo of themselves that otherwise they may not  of had.

Photo Booth Hire – Choosing well

Photo booth hire can be a bit of a minefield. There’s lots of types. I use the Lastolite Hilite for mine as well as 4 x Bowens 500R Pro lights, along with the 1DS3 (Canon) and a couple of softboxes.

Plus you get the attendance of a professional photographer (that’s me!) to make sure every picture taken is perfect.

In short, when hiring a photo booth from me you’ll get the best there is. Some just put a sheet on the wall and use an on camera flash which isn’t very good at all. Last weekend at the party there were lots of oo’s and aa’s because it looks so professional.

Photo Booth Hire Prices

Pricing starts from £200 for anyone hiring a photobooth from me. Sometimes I will be asked to supply the Photo Booth as an extra to a wedding I may photograph (A lot of my work is as a Sussex Wedding Photographer).

The amount of time to setup and take down the photobooth is 45-60 minutes each way dependant on the size of the venue and the type of booth used (I have a few types).

I find that during weddings I use the wedding breakfast as the ideal time to set  it up ready for that quiet time before the first dance.

The images are all supplied professionally finished on CD in High Resolution and where applicable retouched to bring out the best in the photo.

For those that take up photobooth hire I will send a link to a private gallery for viewing the images. This also has the facility to order prints if anyone want to (but you get them all on CD regardless).

For those interested in Photo Booth Hire I cover the whole of the South East and have a few different sizes available.

Photo Booth Availability

Since I published this blog post last year I’ve had a lot of calls and emails asking about booking the booth.

Because I’m a full time wedding photographer I can only supply the Photo Booth on it’s own Between Monday and Thursday.

Any other days of the week I can only supply the booth if I’m also going to be the wedding photographer as well. (I have to give priority to my main source of income).

But, if you did take the Photo Booth as part of a wedding booking it would be much cheaper than it would be on it’s own.
