Frequently Asked Questions
What is a glam photo booth?
A glam photo booth is a photo experience designed to make guests look like they just stepped off a magazine cover. It combines professional studio lighting, a high-resolution DSLR camera, and premium backdrops to produce photos with dramatic contrast, flattering shadows, and genuine polish. The result is not the washed-out snapshot you get from a tablet camera under LED strips. It is the kind of photo people actually set as their profile picture. Our Gold Photo Station is built specifically around this philosophy.
How much does a glam booth rental cost?
Our Gold Photo Station, which is our glam booth offering, starts at $895 for a 3-hour rental. That price includes a professional attendant, setup and breakdown, unlimited prints, an online gallery, and your choice of backdrop from our collection of six options including our popular silver sequin glam backdrop. Additional hours, custom print layouts, and travel fees may adjust the final price. We recommend contacting us for a quote tailored to your event date, venue, and city so there are no surprises on the invoice.
What is the difference between a glam booth and a mirror booth?
Mirror booths typically use a touch-screen mirror with a built-in tablet camera to capture photos. The technology is fun and the interface is interactive, but the image quality is limited by the camera inside the screen. A glam booth, like our Gold Photo Station, uses a professional DSLR camera and studio lighting that is completely separate from the display, which means dramatically better image quality, better depth of field, and photos that actually look glam rather than just Instagram-filtered. If you care about the quality of the final photo, the DSLR approach wins.
