We shoot the weddings. That's why the booth works.

For years we watched the same evening play out. Somewhere past the toasts, a booth would be wheeled into the corner of a reception with an attendant beside it, three hours on the contract, and a printer that took the better part of a minute to produce a strip. By ten o'clock the line was long enough that people gave up, and by eleven the whole thing was packed up and gone while the party was still going.

It was never the guests' fault, and it usually wasn't the operator's either. The problem was structural: when a rental is priced around a person's evening, you are buying hours instead of a photo booth. Take the person out of the equation and the hours stop mattering.

So we built the thing we wanted at the weddings we were already shooting. A shell that ships flat and slides together without tools. The same DNP studio printer we use ourselves, because eight seconds and forty-five seconds are the difference between a line and a crowd. Our own software on the iPad, so there's no third-party app upselling your guests. And a print server that carries its own network, because we have lost enough evenings to venue Wi-Fi to never trust it again.

Then we shipped it to you instead of driving it over. That single change is what takes a $650 booth down to $249 and takes the clock off it entirely.
