The classic, upgraded

The open-air photo booth: studio-quality photos, room for everyone

Our traditional open-air upright booth uses a DSLR camera and a studio strobe with an umbrella or softbox, so every photo is sharp, bright and flattering. With no walls or curtain, you can fit a crowd of friends, the whole bridal party or an entire team into one shot.

Choose any backdrop, from our white-and-gold geometric wall and sequin walls to flower walls and greenery, and we'll design a template to match. Guests get instant prints plus a copy by text, and you get the full online gallery after the event.

It's our most versatile booth, at home at a school family day in a gym, a wedding in a ballroom or a company party in a warehouse space.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent an open-air photo booth?

Pricing depends on the booth you choose, how many hours you need, your backdrop and any add-ons like an audio guest book, red carpet or welcome mirror. Tell us your date, venue and guest count through the quote form and we'll send an exact price for your event, with no obligation.

What is an open-air photo booth?

It's a photo booth without an enclosure: a camera and lights facing an open backdrop. That makes room for large groups and gives you far more backdrop options than a closed booth.

How many people fit in the photo?

Big groups fit comfortably because there are no walls. Your attendant adjusts the framing for everything from couples to large groups.

Does it print?

Yes. Prints come out in seconds, and guests also receive their photos by text. Magnetic and cardstock sleeves are available.

How much space does it need?

Plan for room for the booth, the backdrop and a short line of guests, plus a nearby outlet. Tell us about your venue and we'll confirm the layout during planning.
