We also offer Scrapbooks for $30 only.  However, if you will be booking your event for 3 hours or more, we will waive the price of the scrapbook.

Do you do other types of events as well?

We do all types of events, including Weddings, Debuts, Sweet Sixteens, Quinceañeras, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Corporate events, Charities, Reunions, or just because!  It doesn’t matter what kind of event you need us for, we will be there for you!


How are you different than the other photo booth companies out there?

We use camera and printer that produce first rate photographs on excellent quality photo paper.  But most importantly, we offer exceptional service…we’ve done several events and understand that your event and your guests are of the utmost importance!  We pride ourselves on being professional and courteous; always on time; polite and personable; and always attentive to your needs from the time of your booking until the end of your event.


How do I reserve the booth?

Reserving the booth is simple; just simply go to our Reservations page, fill out the required information and we will check our calendar for availability of the date and time you requested.  We will respond to you within 48 hours to inform you if the date is available and provide you with detailed information.  Once you decide to avail of our services, we will require a $50 non-refundable deposit.


How long in advance do I have to reserve the booth?

We would prefer to accept reservations at least one month in advance.  However, you can call us a week in advance or you can call us a year in advance and if we have availability, we will find a way to accomodate your needs.  But dates are generally reserved well in advance so to be sure you have our photo booth at your event, reserve the booth and secure the date as far in advance as possible.


My event is more than a year away and I do not have a set date or venue; do I have to reserve the booth now?

Again, you do not have to reserve the booth now, but we recommend that you put a deposit and reserve the booth as soon as you can.  When you know when you are going to have your event, you can let us know, and we will reserve the date for you.


Can I personalize the photo layout?

Of course, this is why we require at least a month before the event to allow us to personalize the photo layout with the event and make necessary changes if any.  We normally use 4x6 prints with a choice of 2, 3, or 4 frame collage. There will be space for a caption on all of our layouts.  You can include your name(s), date of event, a logo, or almost anything else you desire.


Here's a few steps you can help us design your photo layout:

  • Describe your caption font types, colors, and theme.
  • Select a layout format.
  • We will create a preliminary concept design for your review.
  • We will allow 3 rounds of revisions to ensure you get exactly the layout design you want.
  • Once your design is finalized, we program it in to your photobooth session.


Do I need to know how to use the photo booth?

We will have a friendly, full-time attendant there to help your guests. Once you get in the booth, the instructions are displayed for you on the monitor.


Will there be someone there from your company in case something goes wrong?

Normally, there are no issues.  But our full-time attendant will be there in case an issue arises.


What if I want to extend the time I can use the photo booth beyond what I had originally requested?

That’s not a problem.  Just let us know at the event, and if we are able to extend the time, we can stay longer for a nominal extended time fee of $100 each additional hour.


How many pictures are on the photo collage and how many copies do I get?  What if I want more copies?

There are actually two prints that are dispensed; one copy for your guest and the other for you to enjoy.  If you or you guests want more copies, we can reprint extra copies on a case by case basis or when the line is not busy.  But you will be provided immediately after the event with a Photo CD with all of the pictures taken during your event including both the collage pictures and the individual pictures which you can freely share with your guests.


How long does it take for the pictures to print out?

The laminated pictures print out in mere seconds as soon as each photo session has finished.


How much space would you need?

We will need at least 10ft by 10ft area to setup the booth and sufficient area for the guest waiting line.  I would also prefer an area opposite the DJ if possible.


How far do you travel?

We normally service the San Diego county from South Bay to Oceanside/Escondido areas.  If your event is held outside the San Diego county area, we may still be able to come to you based on availability and distance.  There may be a nominal travel fee based on distance.


What is your cancellation policy?

The deposit you put down is non-refundable.  But if you pay us for the entire event and then want to cancel, as long as you notify us at least 30 days in advance, we will keep 25% and refund the difference.
