The booth & setup
Here's exactly what we bring.
A seamless 8×8 backdrop with room for the whole crew, pro studio lighting placed off to the side, and a touch screen that runs itself. Here's how it all works, and why we set it up this way.
Our standard setup
The 8×8 backdrop, built for big groups.
Every rental comes with a seamless 8×8 backdrop. It's wide enough for the whole bridal party, a full sales team or the cousins who insist on one more shot, and it gives every photo a clean, polished background, no matter what the room looks like.

Why off-camera flash
Better photos. No blinding flash.
Most booths fire a flash straight from the front, right into your guests' eyes. We don't. Our pro studio flash sits up high and off to the side, firing through a large white umbrella. That one choice changes everything.
- Pictures look like a portrait studioBig, soft light from above and to the side shapes faces naturally. Skin looks smooth, eyes get a little sparkle, and you avoid the flat, washed-out look and harsh shadows of on-camera flash.
- Nobody gets blindedA bright flash inches from your face, over and over, leaves guests squinting and seeing spots. With the light off to the side and diffused by the umbrella, guests stay comfortable, keep their eyes open and come back for round two (and three).
- Crisp and consistent in any roomDark reception hall, bright ballroom or backyard at dusk: the studio light freezes motion and keeps colors and skin tones looking great from the first photo to the last.
