Why should I use a professional photobooth at my event? I already have a camera!

Anyone trying to plan a big party, event, wedding, fundraiser or social networking gathering has three major questions before they can fine tune the details:
1. Venue?
2. Food?
3. Entertainment?
Of these three, entertaining your guests is by far the most important to have a successful, fun-filled party after which, guests talk about more than just good food and a pretty atmosphere. The most obvious choice for good entertainment is music; get those feet movin' and the blood flowin' to the beat! Whether it is a reputable DJ, rockin' band, or both, entertaining a crowd starts with the music.

What else is there? Karaoke is always a possibility if you want to see Uncle Bob sing "Pretty Woman", or you could bring in circus performers to serve drinks while hanging upside down, but you may not get the effect on your guests you were hoping for...

These options have created growth in a new form of entertainment, the modern photobooth! Want to see your guests have a blast? Give them a license to dress up in funny clothes, walk into a private enclosure with up to 10 of their best friends, and take hilarious photos that they can treasure for a lifetime! Now, instead of Uncle Bob serenading the entire party, he is snapping photos wearing a feather boa, cheetah print hat and star shaped diva glasses that everyone can laugh at!  *note: not all photobooths accommodate such large groups and props are a must!

Many people may ask, "Why should I hire a photobooth company when I, or my photographer, can set up a camera on a tripod?" While that is certainly an option, it will not bring nearly the same fun result. People naturally love photobooths across the world, whereas, having their picture "taken" can be like going to the dentist, awkward and embarrassing.

Why? What's the difference? You can sum this up in two words, automation and privacy. When entering a photobooth enclosure, you are instantly separated from the outside world and all the potential judgment that goes with it.By simply pushing a button to select B/W or Color photos, the people in the booth are completely alone with a camera to act crazy, making funny faces and hilarious poses for 4 to 6 photos that can only be seen by those inside. The experience is 100% private, that is, until the photo strip prints out! ;)

Wait! The photo strips are a whole other reason to hire a pro photobooth! Perhaps you have been in a mall and paid a few dollars for a photo strip of you and 1 friend that prints out on thin paper with poor print quality and blurry pictures... NO! Today's professional photobooths should be equipped with high quality DSLR cameras and real photo printers for crisp images... no point-and-shoot or  inkjets here! Going one step further, the photo strip can be customized for your event with a variety of options from logos to monograms or even advertisements and special offers. If you are a bride looking to remember your day, make sure you purchase a guest book for your friends and family to adhere their photos and write personal well wishes to you and your groom.

  

Don't want to wait weeks after your event to start sharing photos online? Don't! Professional photobooths offer various media, such as a CD or USB drive, that they can load with all of your images, raw and formatted to a photo strip! 

Use the raw images however you would like... guests have to enter the booth at their own risk! Shhhhhh, don't tell them that part until after the party ;)

Great for any occasion, a photobooth is more that a photo. At Dollface Photobooth, we not only capture moments, we create them!
