Photo Booth FAQ’s

Photo Booth setup

Do you require a power outlet nearby?

Yes . It’s recommended to have a 240v power outlet within 3-5m of the booth.

Can the Photo Booth be taken up stairs?

Yes, however, this depends on which booth you hire. We would advise that it is best to contact us to let us know how many stairs. There may be an additional fee. The Original Mirror Booth cannot be taken up stairs.

Can the Photo Booth be setup outside?

To get the most out of your Mirror Booth, it’s advisable that it isn’t set up outside. The magic of the Mirror Photo Booth is experiencing the amazing animations that guide you through each step of the session, and being outside massively reduces the visibility of these. However, if it a nighttime hire, then it may be set up outside – weather permitting.

Is setup and disassemble included in the hire time?

Yes. We will set up and be ready to start for the time you booked us for.

How much space is required for the Photo Booth?

It’s recommended that a minimum space of 3.5 x 3.5m or more is set aside for your photo booth.

How long does it take you to set up/dismantle?

It takes around 20-30 minutes to setup/dismantle.

When do you setup the Photo Booth?

The booth is setup before/after the event, so that it doesn’t interfere with the fun of your evening.

Optional Extras

Why use a Green Screen in the Photo Booth?

Green Screen technology has been used in television and photography for decades, and has more recently become a trend in photo booths. Using a green or blue chromakey backdrop, you can then place any image of your choice in to the background of your photo. So if you have a photo that you’ve taken and you are super-proud of it, or would like to drop in a background from Vegas or Hawaii, then the world is your oyster.

The Green Screen option is only available in the Open-Air Photo Booth. If you have any more questions, then please don’t hesitate to include them in the comments section on the Booking Enquiry page.

Can you take roaming photos during my event too?

Yes. Jock also runs a successful family portrait photography studio as well as shooting multiple weddings and events throughout the year.

To see a showcase of Jocks work, you can visit the Splash 22 Photography website at www.splash22photography.com.

To add roaming photography to your package, remember to check the box in your booking form enquiry.
