the Photo Booths
Photique’s custom-built retro Photo Booths combine both the vintage feel of an old large format camera with the modern technology available today. An absolute show stopper that will have your guests talking long after the big day is over. From the stunning studio quality images, to the customizable animated gifs and instant email sharing capabilities, there is simply no other Photo Booth out there that has the same quality, appeal and functionality as the photoboothing powerhouse that is Photique.
The Photo Booth rents by the hour with a 3 hour minimum. Services include a full time Photo Booth attendant, unlimited photos and gifs, instant access to the images via email, a shareable and downloadable link to all the images the following day, custom watermark/logo abilities, and use of our wide array of props and backdrops if necessary. Photo Booths booked alongside our Audio Guestbook services receive a special discount. Please reach out for current hourly rates.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
Props
From vintage to silly, we have an incredibly wide array of high quality props to match any theme. Our popular vintage collection is comprised of authentic items collected from antique stores that will make you feel like you’re on a Hollywood movie set. Want to keep the pictures classy with no props? That's cool too!
Gifs
GIFs are a super fun and easy way to add movement to your photos. Guest can create a loop or boomerang of their favorite pictures and save them as an mp4 video. Not only do GIFs add an additional fun element to the event, but they also make for amazing, easily shareable social media content.
Shareability
Photique is a completely digital Photo Booth, meaning we do not offer prints. Instead, guests can easily view and save their pictures and GIFs via email using a touchscreen on the back of the booth, all while the next guests in line take their picture. It’s quick, seamless, and helps generate so many more pictures per event!
Web Gallery
When all is said and done, we know you’re dying to see all the action from the Photo Booth. Don’t worry, we got you covered. The following morning after the event, all your images get uploaded to a hosted web gallery where you can view, download and share with all your family and friends. View a sample gallery here.
Branding
Photique is not just a fun experience for your guests, it can also be used as a very powerful marketing tool to promote your brand. Custom watermarks allow guests to share their pictures and GIFs with your logo on them, exposing your brand to new audiences. Lead capture and event analytics are available as well.
Filters
Prefer the vintage feel of black and white? Want to go all wild west with sepia tone? No problem! Photique can shoot in a number of different styles, including the popular Glam/Kardashian filter. While only one is available live at your event, both regular and filtered images can be provided the following day.
BACKDROPS
While we prefer to shoot against an existing wall at your venue, sometimes a backdrop is just the better way to go. Photique has a wide variety of high quality curtains and tension fabric backdrops to choose from, allowing you to pick a theme to match your events color palette and feel. Looking for something in particular? Not a problem. Photique can do special orders on theme specific backdrops and also offers custom backdrops where clients are able to supply the actual design. Please note that tension backdrops are digital images on fabric and not real.
