Spinning Session 360

Under the Facebook post linking to this post, there was a proposal for a Videobudka “Spinning Session 360”. It is the only one so far (of the ones I have seen) instead of a platform on which you have to stand. This way it will accommodate more people, by the way, no one will fall, and at the same time it does not transmit vibrations from the platform, where usually there is a motor that rotates the camera. So I’m throwing in as such a curiosity if you want to fit more guests.

Well I cool that someone did it their way!

Each type has its own unique features to consider when choosing, including photo quality, availability of gadgets and props, additional features such as GIFs or filters, as well as maintenance and transportation.

Bonus – photo frames AND photo walls

A photo booth is certainly one of the most interesting attractions at any party. However, if for various reasons you do not want or cannot rent a photo booth, there are alternatives. For example, you can order or arrange a photo frame or photo wall. Such a solution is ideal when you want to preserve amazing moments from the event, but don’t want to print the photos as soon as they are taken.

Decorative walls for photos at the event

For example, at Sceneriewtle.pl you can find various decorative suggestions that will give your party a unique atmosphere. One of them are photo walls that are sure to delight your guests. You can also ask the decorator to prepare an interesting photo frame. It is important that such a decorative element should match the style of the party and fit perfectly into its atmosphere.

Photo frames for photos at the event

Such photos can be handled by your event photographer. You will then receive the photos in an online gallery, which we can use, for example, to create a photo album. With me you can even order them directly from the gallery in many formats and on different papers. However, for large events, such an option may be less practical and more convenient is a photo booth or other solution that allows you to print photos right on the spot.

Using an Instax camera to take photos at a party can be an interesting alternative to renting a photo booth. However, it is worth remembering that we need the right equipment, as well as someone who will be in charge of taking pictures. Otherwise, our photos may turn out to be less successful than we expected. In addition, the cost of Instax camera cartridges can be quite high, especially if guests catch on and take a lot of pictures.

Instax for the party

On the other hand, the benefit of taking pictures with an Instax camera is that the photos are available immediately, without having to wait for a printout. In addition, we can brag about them on social media or create a creative arrangement at a party, using the photos as a decorative element.

It is important to consider which option will be more beneficial for us – renting a photo booth or using an Instax camera. Both solutions have their advantages and disadvantages, so you should think carefully about which will be best for you.

What to consider when hiring a photo booth?

If you are planning to rent a photo booth for your event, there are a few important things to keep in mind.

Personalization

First of all, pay attention to what personalization options are available. Will you be able to choose the background, theme or add your own text on the photos? This is very important, as this will ensure that the photos are perfectly tailored to your event.

Image quality

Another important aspect is the quality of the photos. Pay attention to whether the photo booth has professional equipment, like a DSLR camera or a thermosublimation printer, which will ensure high quality photos. It’s also a good idea to check how many photos are included in the rental price and whether it’s possible to purchase additional copies.

Service and timeliness

Another important factor is the staff. Make sure that the price of the photobooth rental includes a person who will handle the photobooth, as well as assist guests with taking pictures. This will ensure that the photo booth runs smoothly and gets the most out of it. The last but equally important aspect is the timeliness and availability of the photo booth. Make sure that the rental date is free and does not clash with other events, and that the rental company has enough photo booths in its inventory.

Gadgets in the photo booth

An important factor to pay attention to when renting a photo booth is the gadgets offered. Often, photo booth rentals include additional attractions such as fake bill guns, soap bubbles and confetti tubes. This allows you to enhance your photos and make your party even more fun. Before you decide to hire a particular photo booth, it’s worth checking what additional goodies are offered as part of the price.”

Photo booth photo formats

Another important factor in choosing a photo booth is the format of the photos. It is worth paying attention to whether the photo formats offered are tailored to our needs and preferences. Often photobooths offer traditional formats such as 10×15 cm, but more and more often you can find more original formats, such as Polaroids. It’s worth opting for a photobooth that offers photo formats that are suitable for us, so that we can enjoy the results to the fullest.

Photo Copy

When choosing a photobooth, it is worth paying attention to the number of photos that will be taken during the event. Some companies offer unlimited access to the photobooth, which means you can take as many photos as you want. Other companies limit the number of photos, and you have to buy additional copies separately. It’s worth choosing the option that will be most beneficial to you and tailored to your needs.

Online gallery

More and more companies also offer access to an online gallery where you can view and download the photos you have taken. This allows you to have access to the photos both during and after the event. The online gallery is a great option for guests who didn’t get a chance to take a photo in the photobooth during the event, but would like to have a souvenir. Before hiring a photo booth, it’s worth asking the company if it offers such an option and if it’s included in the rental price or if you have to buy it separately.

How much does it cost to rent a photo booth?

The cost of renting a photo booth depends on many factors, such as the location, the duration of the event, the number of photos taken, the choice of additional personalization options, the quality of the equipment or the number of people operating the photo booth. On average, photo booth rental prices start at around PLN 1,000 for a 3-4 hour event. However, in the case of more elaborate and professional services, the cost of rental can exceed even several thousand zlotys. It is always worthwhile to carefully compare the offers of various photo booth rental companies to choose the one that best suits our needs and budget.

Who can provide a photo booth at an event?

Renting a photo booth for an event can be provided by various vendors. It could be a venue that offers photo booth rental as an added attraction for its customers. It could also be a DJ who has photo booth rentals as part of his show. Often, event decor companies also offer photo booth rentals that will perfectly match the style and theme of the event.

In addition, many photography companies offer photo booth rentals as a separate service that can be integrated with other photography services, such as photo shoots or event reportage photos. It’s a good idea to look for local suppliers, compare offers and choose the best option for your event.

Ultimately, hiring a photo booth can also depend on the type and size of the event. Some companies offer smaller and more intimate photo booths that are ideal for smaller parties such as birthdays or house parties, while others offer larger photo booths that can accommodate a larger group of people and are ideal for larger corporate or mass events.

What questions should I ask the photo booth rental company?

When choosing a photo booth rental company, it’s a good idea to ask some important questions to make sure you’re choosing the best deal for your event. Here are some sample questions to ask:

  1. What is the cost of renting a photo booth and what is included in the price?
  2. What options are available for personalizing the photo booth, such as background, theme or text on the photos?
  3. What gadgets are offered for photo booth rental, such as fake bills or soap bubbles?
  4. What are the dimensions of the photo booth and how many people can fit inside?
  5. Is there a limit to the number of photos or the amount of time I can use the photo booth? (Usually there is no limit, it is included in the rental time, but it is worth asking)
  6. Is it possible to purchase/receive additional copies of photos or create an online gallery?
  7. Does the company have enough photo booths in its inventory to meet the needs of larger events?
  8. Does the company offer the service of assembling and disassembling the photo booth and transporting the device to the venue?

Summary

In this post, we talked about the different aspects of renting a photo booth for parties and events. We touched on topics such as the different types of photo booths, such as classic, enclosed, freestanding, wood and retro. We also discussed what elements to consider when renting a photo booth, such as photo quality, personalization, gadgets, service and timeliness.

I’ve pointed out what questions you should ask the photo booth rental company before signing the contract to make sure you choose the right device for your event. I also point out that you don’t always have to rent a photo booth to have cool photos of your event – you can do it in other ways, such as with a photo frame and using an Instax camera, or by hiring a professional event photographer.

In conclusion, renting a photo booth is great fun and a great way to commemorate an event. However, it is important to choose a company with experience and an offer tailored to our needs, and to make sure that everything is caught up in terms of service, photo quality and timeliness.
