 FAQs - Lightning Booth

  • We recommend a space at least 10′ wide × 10′ deep × 10′ tall so guests and props fit comfortably and photos look great. You’ll also need a standard power outlet within 25′ of the booth location.

  • Our Lightning Booth is not a traditional enclosed booth. It’s an open, modern setup that lets more guests crowd into the shot, keeps energy high, and makes photos more fun and social.

  • Placement matters! Put the booth in an accessible, visible spot near the action. Let your DJ/MC or bandleader make announcements to encourage guests to use it. Personalized prints, props, and custom overlays also boost engagement.

  • Setup is handled by our team and takes about 1 hour. We take care of it so it doesn’t eat into your event time.

  • Some corporate or business events prioritize digital sharing and branding more than printed photos. Our digital-only packages give guests instant shareable images without printing.

  • We use professional dye-sublimation printers that produce smudge-free high-quality prints in about 10 seconds on durable photo paper — perfect for keepsakes and scrapbooks.

  • If your venue has lower ceilings or less depth, we can often make it work — though backdrops like basic white require at least 8′6″ height. We’ll help find the best solution based on your space
