Of course! While our collection is extensive, you are more than welcome to bring custom props that match your specific theme (like personalized cut-outs or branded items). We’ll happily incorporate them into the booth setup.

Yes, always. We don’t believe in just "dropping off" a machine and leaving you to figure it out.

Every photobooth booking includes a professional operator/assistant onsite for the duration of the session. Having a pro at the event ensures:

• A Smooth Experience: Our assistant guides your guests through the process, directing guests on how it works.

• Pro photographer setting up the Booth: We handle the lighting, camera settings, and any printer needs so you can focus entirely on your party.

• Faster Lines: With an expert directing the flow, more guests get through the booth, meaning more memories captured for you!

Since we are a family team, you can expect the same friendly, professional service at the photobooth that we provide with our event photography.

At Blue House Photos, we don’t treat the photobooth as an afterthought—we treat it like a portable professional studio. Here is what sets us apart:

• Professional Setup & Expertise: Unlike many "drop-and-go" booths, our equipment is curated and setup by a professional photographer. Vergel’s technical background and photography training mean that every booth is calibrated for the specific lighting of your venue.

• Studio-Grade Lighting (The 3-Flash Setup): We go far beyond the standard "ring light" or single camera flash. For our DSLR Photobooth, we use a sophisticated 3-flash lighting setup. This creates:

  • Depth & Dimension: No flat, washed-out faces.

  • Flattering Portraits: Professional-grade light that makes your guests look their absolute best.

  • Consistency: Every shot is crisp, clear, and vibrant, from the first guest to the last.

• A Photographer’s Eye: Because we are photographers first, we care about composition, focus, and image quality.

Yes, absolutely! We believe the background is just as important as the people in front of it. We offer a variety of professional options to ensure the booth matches your event’s theme and color palette perfectly:

• Shimmering Sequin Backdrops: Add a touch of glamour and "pop" to your photos. We have an assortment of sequin colors available—perfect for weddings, galas, and holiday parties.

• Classic Solids (Plain White or Black): For a clean, timeless, and professional look. These are ideal for corporate headshots, "Vogue-style" booths, or minimalist modern events.

• Green Screen Technology: Want to transport your guests to a tropical beach, a cityscape, or a custom digital world? Our green screen option allows for endless creative possibilities by digitally inserting any background you imagine.

Here are three features our guests love:

Live View Monitor: No more guessing what you look like! With our Live View Monitor, you and your guests can see yourselves in real-time as you pose. This allows everyone to adjust their props, fix their hair, and perfect their smiles before the shutter clicks.

Voice-Assisted Guidance: Our booth literally talks you through the fun! To make the process effortless, our voice assistant guides guests through the session. It counts down for the shots and gives prompts, making it easy for guests of all ages to use without any confusion.

Instant Digital Access: In today’s world, we know you want to share the fun immediately. That’s why we provide instant cloud uploads. As soon as the photos are taken, they are uploaded to an online gallery. You and your guests can access, download, and share your digital photos to social media or via text right away!

We are very flexible and can adapt to most venue layouts, whether you are hosting a grand gala or an intimate party at home. Here is a breakdown of our space requirements:

• The Signature DSLR Booth: We can set up in a space as compact as 6′ x 6′. However, we highly recommend an 8′ x 8′ area if your venue allows. This extra room lets us properly position our professional 3-flash setup and ensures larger groups of family and friends can fit into the photo comfortably.

• The Selfie Photobooth: If you are hosting a celebration in a tighter space—such as a house party or a small lounge—our Selfie Photobooth is the perfect choice. It features a much smaller footprint and is designed specifically to accommodate compact areas while still delivering high-quality digital fun.

To give your guests the best experience and the most "pose time" for your booking, we recommend using the photobooth continuously from start to finish. However, we understand that formal events often have scheduled breaks for dinner, speeches, or ceremonies where you might want the booth temporarily closed.

• Continuous Use (Recommended): We advise scheduling your photobooth hours back-to-back to keep the energy high and the lines moving.

• Idle Time Policy: If your itinerary requires the booth to be set up but not operational (for example, closing the booth for an hour during a wedding reception dinner), we charge a $75/hour Idle Fee.

We want everything to be perfect before your first guest arrives! To ensure the lighting is calibrated and the photobooth is fully tested, we follow a standard setup schedule:

• Standard Setup: We arrive at the venue approximately 1 hour before your scheduled start time. For example, if your photobooth service starts at 4:00 PM, we will arrive at 3:00 PM to begin the build and testing. This hour of setup is included in your package and does not count toward your active service hours.

• Early Setup Requests: If your event schedule requires us to have the booth fully set up much earlier than the start time (to avoid distractions during a ceremony or a private meeting, for instance), we can certainly accommodate that!

  • Early Setup Fee: Depending on how much earlier you need us on-site, there is an additional charge ranging from $50 to $100.
