Frequently asked

Photo booth rental questions

Everything guests and planners tend to ask — travel, setup, space and power, backdrops, props, prints, and how you get your photos.

Service

What is your travelling area?

We cover the entire Ottawa-Gatineau area. Travel is free within roughly 50 km of our storage in Orléans; beyond that, a flat mileage fee applies, calculated from the distance to your venue.

Who runs the booth on the night?

A professional, well-dressed, bilingual attendant is on-site for the full rental. They set up, direct guests, keep the line moving, and manage prints and albums so you do not have to.

When do you arrive to set up?

We arrive about 90 minutes before your start time to set up and test everything. Setup does not eat into your active rental time. If you need us earlier, you can add idle time or an early-setup window for the same day.

Can we extend the session while the booth is running?

Yes. If the line is still going strong, let the attendant know and we can extend on the spot. Any additional time is billed afterward.

The booth

How much space do you need?

We ask for a dedicated 10 ft x 10 ft clear area with at least 8 ft of height clearance. That gives room for the backdrop and camera and lets guests move safely in and around the booth.

What are the power requirements?

Access to a dedicated standard outlet within 10 to 15 ft of the setup. We ask that no other equipment shares that outlet — lighting, DJ gear, and bar appliances can trip the breaker.

Are cocktails and food near the booth okay?

If cocktails or hors d’oeuvres are served near the booth, please provide a small cocktail table (30 in or smaller, with linens if needed). Our equipment and props do not mix well with liquids, so we keep them on a separate table.

Backdrops, props, and prints

Can I bring my own backdrop?

Absolutely — it is your event. As long as it fits within a 10 ft x 8 ft frame, we can use it. We also carry a curated range of backdrops to choose from.

What kind of props do you have?

We keep it classy. We carry a solid selection of tasteful signs and props for many occasions — nothing from the dollar store. The goal is photos you will actually want to keep.

What do the prints look like?

Prints are photo-lab quality from a thermal dye printer, in 2x6 or 4x6 formats. You can customize the layout and branding (images, logos, text) and include one to eight photos per print.

How many people fit in one photo?

Two to eight is the sweet spot, but we have squeezed groups of up to 30 into a single frame when the moment called for it.

Your photos

How do we get our photos?

Guests can receive photos instantly by text or email at the booth (WiFi permitting). You also get a secure online gallery with every high-resolution image, and you can add a password to keep it private.

Can we get all the photos on a USB key?

Yes. If you would rather not rely on a download, we can provide a USB key with all of your event’s images for a small additional fee.
