A: Unlimited. Your guests may go through the photo booth as many times as they would like during your contracted time. They will receive their photo strip shortly after exiting the booth.
Q: How much space is required to set up your booth?
A: We require a minimum area of 10 feet by 5 feet for the booth and a table if you have the Photo Memory Book or Photo Sleeve/Frames option. A larger area is recommended, if possible, to allow people better flow in and around the photo booth. We also require an electrical source within 50 feet of where the booth would be set up. We have done many events and want yours to be the best it can be. We’d be happy to discuss how to choose the right location with you so that your guests will get the most utilization from the photo booth.
Q: Do I need a special electrical hookup to set up the booth?
A: A 120VAC power source is needed. If there’s no electricity at your event, We are able to provide a generator for an additional fee.
Q: How does the online photo gallery work?
A: Within several days of your event, all of the pictures taken in the photo booth will be posted on our website in a password protected photo gallery. Your guests will be able to log into the gallery using a password, which we will provide them at your event.
Once logged into the gallery, guests may view all of the photos from your event, purchase prints or other keepsakes, share then via social media or download any photo (if purchased Big Shot, Paparazzi package or selected the Gallery Free Download option).
Q: How long do you take to post the pictures to the online gallery?
A: The pictures are usually posted within 3 days. During busy or holiday weekends, it may take an extra day before they are uploaded. Christmas and News Years events may take up to 5 days. If you purchased the Paparazzi Package, you will receive your online gallery the next day by 6AM.
Q: What happens if someone takes a picture that I don’t approve of? Will it go online?
A: No. We preview all of the photos before they get posted and will contact you if we think any are inappropriate. If you still find photos you do not like after they are posted, simply e-mail or give us a call and we will remove them.
Q: What is Idle Time?
A: By building idle time into the event, it allows for the booth to still be in place but not operating. i.e. the booth is temporarily closed and will reopen when the idle time is complete.
Q: How can we incorporate Photo Booth pictures into a Memory Book?
A: With the Photo Memory Book Option, the Photo Booth Attendant will paste your copy of the guestís pictures in a Memory Book and encourage your guests to write a message to you! Much more fun than an easel with a pen or a guest book. We provide as many inserts, markers and glue sticks needed so you don’t have to worry about the details of not having enough. If you provide your own memory book, you will need to supply your own markers, glue and inserts.
Q: How are your Photo Booths different from traditional photo booths?
A: Our digital photo booths are extremely portable which makes them considerably easier to transport and set up. They are much bigger which allows for more people to be in the photograph and for them to be wheelchair accessible. They don’t require money to start taking photos.
Unlike older photo booths, which rely on chemical photo processing, ours utilize the latest in digital photography technology. This produces great quality photographs and quick prints. Being digital also allows us to store all of the photographs from your event for posting on our online photo gallery or transferring to standard storage media (i.e. CD-R, Memory card, etc.) after the event.
Q: How is Fantastic Foto Booths different from all the other photo booth companies?
A: Fantastic Foto Booths digital Photo Booths are extremely portable which makes them considerably easier to transport and set up thereby greatly decreasing the final cost to our clients. Our Photo Booths can fit through narrow areas and can even be carried up stairs.
Our Photo Booths are much bigger which allows for more people to be in the photograph and for them to be wheelchair accessible. Booth can be set for full privacy so your guests can let loose and have fun.
