Most-booked booth

Open-Air Booth Chicago photo booth rental.

Our most-booked setup pairs a pro DSLR with softbox lighting and an open layout, so big groups fit, the line keeps moving, and everyone leaves with a 2×6 strip — with digitals sent to phones too. The dependable pick for receptions, company mixers, and expo floors.

What's included

It all comes in the package.

This is the standard on every booking. Add-ons exist, but nothing here is an extra.

Unlimited prints

Every guest walks off with a 2×6 strip, printed right there — as many rounds as they want.

Studio lighting + DSLR

A real DSLR under soft lighting gives you clean, editorial-looking shots instead of the usual harsh-flash look.

Custom print template

We build the strip layout around your names, date, monogram, or logo, and get your sign-off before the day.

Instant digital sharing

Alongside the printed strip, each shot goes out by text, email, or AirDrop.

Full prop box

A prop kit picked to fit the occasion — or a clean, prop-free setup when the room calls for it.

Pro attendant

A host stays the whole time to run things, hand out strips, and keep the queue moving.

Questions

Open-Air Booth FAQ.

Most booths are set up in 45–60 minutes, and we arrive early so we're ready before your event starts. Setup and teardown time is never counted against the hours you book.
Guests get their prints instantly at the booth, and digitals are shared on the spot by text or AirDrop where available. Your full online gallery of every photo is delivered within seven days of the event — most of the time it's ready the very next day.
Most setups need roughly an 8×8 to 10×10 ft area on a level surface and a single standard power outlet nearby; the 360 booth needs a bit more room. If you're unsure your venue has room, send us the details and we'll confirm the fit.
Yes, with a few conditions: we need a level surface, access to power, and cover from sun and rain (a tent or covered area). Let us know your setup and we'll advise on what works.
Absolutely. We design a custom print template for your event — for corporate events that means your logo on every photo that leaves the room, and we can add a custom branded backdrop (as an add-on) and digital overlays as well.
