Question 1

How does the photobooth work?

Accepted Answer

Our photobooth is fully manned for the duration of the hire by our fully trained attendants. All your guests have to do it strike a pose and smile.
Your booth with be manned by one attendant but a second attendant may be required for the platinum package, flower wall, long duration's, corporate and high guest count events. 
The 2nd attendant to help maintain a smooth operation and help manage your guests any guest book.
The attendant will explain how the booth works at the beginning of each visit, adjusting people to optimise the image and help with props and poses. They will control the booth via the touch screen and distribution the photos to your guests. There is no need for anyone to touch the photobooth.
Once the attendant starts the session a live view is displayed along with a 5 second countdown before each consecutive picture is taken. On the one count ensure your looking at the camera which is positioned within the LED light ring.
As standard each visit consists of three shots spaced approximately 15 seconds apart which gives guests a quick, fun and frantic turnaround.
Once the shots have been taken the photos are printed by the attendant and the QR code and email options are populated and presented on the screen ready for download. Full instructions are given by the attendant.

As standard one additional print is printed per visit. With unlimited print packages, additional prints are printed on request. The attendant will ask guest if additional prints are required and print accordingly to save wasted paper and ink. The print is touch dry and takes under 10 seconds.
Prints are handed to the guests and there is no need to remove from the machine.
If your package includes a guest book the attendant will personality place and additional image into the book and encourage people to leave a message.

How much space is required?

Accepted Answer

The booth when set up covers an area of 3 by 3 meters with a required set up area of 4 by 4 meters.
The required height for the backdrop is 2.4 meters (8ft)

Question 5

Where is best to position the booth?

Accepted Answer

You want your guests to use the booth and so do we so having it in the main room in plain site to the guests is always preferred if space allows. We have flexible printing positions either side of the booth so any corner is possible.
The booth can get extremely busy and people gather around the booth to watch people so we request that we are not directly next to the bar, dance floor or venue exit and entry points.
Also consider that we may be setting up or taken down the booth while the party is still going so a clear access route back to the loading area may be required. We don’t want to be carrying bags through a dance floor and nor do you and your guests.
We will also require a mains socket within 3 meters from the booth.

Question 6

What do I need the venue to do?

Accepted Answer

Please advise the venue that you are hiring a photobooth and discuss and agree the location (see Where is best to position the booth)
If possible, a small table for the guest book and a small table for drinks. We do not allow drinks within the photobooth.

Question 7

How long does it take to set up and take down?

Accepted Answer

The photobooth takes around 1.5 hours to set up although our attendants will arrive up to 2 hours before so we are ready and waiting to start on time. It takes around 1-1.5 hours to break down. Times are dependent on the location within the venue and furthermore the access to the venue.
If you require an early setup then please contact us to discuss. A small charge for idle time may be applied.

Question 8

How many people can you get in the booth?

This will need to be agreed prior to your event.
