Standard Photo Booth Guide
Space & Placement Tips
Your booth needs a spot that’s easy for guests to find and large enough for them to move around comfortably. Placement affects everything, from how people line up to the lighting in your captures. Open spaces with minimal obstructions give the best results, and adding a backdrop can elevate the look even more.
Power & Connectivity Basics
Our booths need a dedicated standard outlet nearby. Depending on your event type, we may also require Wi-Fi or hotspot access for instant sharing and uploads. Having these ready ahead of time keeps setup quick and smooth.
Load-In & Venue Access
The booth can only run on time if it gets in on time. That means a clear load-in path, reserved parking or loading dock access, and elevator access when needed. The easier the path, the faster we can get from unload to ready-to-shoot.
💡 PRO TIP: A pre-cleared space before our team arrives means more time to test lighting, perfect the angle, and get those first guests in front of the camera without delays.
