Your Complete Guide to Photo Booth Hire

What Type of Photo Booth Is Best for Your Event?

Choosing the right photo booth depends on your event style, space, and the experience you want your guests to have. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide.

📱 Digital Photo Booth (Self‑Service Drop‑Off)
Perfect for smaller spaces and relaxed events.

• 12MP wide‑angle camera with ring light

• Instant digital sharing via SMS and airdrop

• No attendant required

• Fits in 2m x 2m spaces

• Great for DIY props, long hires, and tight venues

📸 Printing Photo Booth (Mirror Photo Booth Experience)
Ideal for premium events and larger venues.

• DSLR camera with flash

• Instant prints + QR digital sharing

• Full attendant included

• Best for full‑body photos, group shots, and open spaces

✨ When the Selfie Booth Is the Better Choice

• Space is limited

• You want a simple, modern setup

• You’re supplying your own props/backdrop

• You need a long‑hire option

How Much Space You Actually Need

Planning the right amount of space helps your booth run smoothly and ensures your photos look their best.

📱 Digital Photo Booth (Self‑Service)
The most space‑friendly option.

• Fits in 2m x 2m

• Sits closer to the backdrop

• No printer or extra equipment

• Perfect for home parties, small venues, and tight setups

• Ring light gives bright, flattering close‑up photos

📸 Print Booth (Mirror Photo Booth Experience)
Needs a little more room to shine.

• Sits further back from the backdrop

• Designed for full‑body photos and larger groups

• Works best in open areas, halls, and bigger venues

• Attendant needs space to manage guest flow

📍 General Space Tips

• Choose a spot with easy access

• Avoid harsh backlighting

• Ensure a standard power outlet is nearby

• Leave room for guests to gather without blocking walkways

✨ Backdrops, Props & Styling Options

Your backdrop and styling choices make a huge difference to the final look of your photos. Here’s how to choose the right setup for your event.

🎨 Choosing the Right Backdrop

• Sequin backdrops add sparkle and work well for glam events

• Plain or neutral backdrops suit corporate events or minimal themes

• Shimmer walls create a bold, eye‑catching feature

• Match your backdrop to your event colours, theme, or venue style

🎉 Props That Work Best

• Keep props simple and easy to hold

• Avoid messy items like confetti or feather boas

• Choose props that match your theme (e.g., birthdays, weddings, kids’ parties)

• Digital booth users can supply their own props for a personalised touch

✨ Styling Tips for a Polished Look

• Leave enough space between the booth and backdrop

• Add balloons, plinths, or florals to frame the setup

• Keep the area tidy so photos look clean and professional

• Ensure lighting isn’t blocked by décor

✨ Tips for Getting the Best Photos

Getting great photo booth results comes down to good lighting, smart placement, and a setup that encourages guests to jump in and have fun. These simple tips help you get the best photos at any event.

💡 Use the Right Lighting

• Avoid placing the booth in front of bright windows

• Keep overhead lights soft if possible

• Make sure décor doesn’t block the ring light or flash

📍 Position the Booth for Easy Access

• Choose a spot guests naturally walk past

• Avoid corners or hidden areas

• Leave space for people to gather without blocking walkways

🎉 Encourage Guests to Get Involved

• Add a small sign inviting guests to “Take a Photo!”

• Keep props tidy and easy to grab

• Make sure the booth is visible from the main event area

✨ Keep the Setup Clean and Uncluttered

• Remove bags, chairs, or décor from the photo area

• Keep the backdrop smooth and wrinkle‑free

• Ensure cables and equipment are tucked away safely

These small adjustments make a huge difference — helping your guests feel confident, comfortable, and excited to jump in for more photos throughout the night.

Q. Can I hire the Photo Booth for less than 4 hours?

• Yes — we have a 2‑hour package all the way up to 5 hours.

Q. Do you charge extra for weddings?

• No. Weddings are charged the same as any other event.

Q. Do you charge delivery for the Mirror Photo Booth?

• No — delivery is included in Redlands, Logan, Brisbane, and Gold Coast areas within 50km of Redland Bay.

• If you are outside of the 50km radius of Redland Bay please contact us for a personalised quote for the additional travel cost to your event location.

Q. How much room do I need for the Photo Booth?

• Both of our photo booth options need a 2.4 m wide × 2.4 m deep space.

• It’s the perfect way to glam up your photos and make your booth the centrepiece of the party.

Q. Do I really get to hire the Selfie Booth for 12 hours?

• Not exactly, we setup the selfie booth at 10am, this takes approximately 30 minutes (give or take depending on your add-ons), and you have it until 10pm unless you choose to extend your hire period and we have availability. That means you have the booth onsite for 12 hours with actual photo time of approximately 11.5 hours.

• Avoid hiding it in a corner. Choose a spot guests naturally walk past so it gets plenty of use.

• The digital photo booth needs around 2m x 2m, while the print photo booth needs extra room for full‑body photos and guest flow

Q. Do I need to provide power for the photo booth?

• Yes — both photo booths need access to a standard power outlet. Avoid running long cables across walkways.

Q. What lighting works best for photo booth photos?

• Avoid placing the booth in front of bright windows or harsh backlighting. Make sure décor doesn’t block the ring light or flash.

Q. How do I keep the photo booth area looking tidy?

• Keep props organised, remove clutter from the photo area, and keep cups and drinks out of the area.

Q. What is the Event Details Form and why do I need to fill it out?

• The Event Details Form is a quick post‑booking questionnaire that collects everything we need for your photo booth setup — from your venue details and start time to your template preferences and any personalisation you’d like.

• Completing it ensures your booth is prepared exactly the way you want it and helps us deliver a smooth, stress‑free experience on the day.
