Our open-style photo booths are a fantastic addition to any event. They are a modern twist on our vintage-style photo booths and allow for larger group photos. The Ring Light open photo booth provides excellent lighting and seamless digital sharing integration, allowing guests to take home their photo strips and instantly download them as well.
​
​​Can the photo booths print in color or black & white?
​
Yes, they can print both! Guests can choose between color or black & white photos before each session. We can also program the booths to print only one type if preferred. Additional options like sepia and pencil sketch are available, but color and black & white remain the most popular.

How many copies of each photo strip are printed at my event?
​
Our photo booths provide FREE "double prints" per session, meaning two photo strips are printed. If we're creating a scrapbook, one strip goes in the book, and the other goes home with your guests. We can print additional copies for larger groups at no extra charge.
​
Are your photo booths also capable of sharing photos digitally?
​
Absolutely, our photo booths are all about instant digital fun! Whether you're stepping into one of our charming vintage-style booths or striking a pose with our sleek open-style booths, sharing your photo memories is a breeze. Guests can effortlessly email their photos, making it super easy to upload to Facebook and Instagram. The best part? Our digital sharing system works its magic outside the booth, so the next set of guests can keep the party going without a hitch!​
