FREQUENTLY ASKED PHOTO BOOTH QUESTIONS:

1- What is the largest group you've had in your photo booth where you can still see their faces in the picture? The current record is 11 adults (set 11/23/08 -see picture above). Our intimate 4'x4' photo area (if you don't push the curtain out) is very practical for groups of 2-6 and requires some clever positioning to capture everyone in a group of 7-13!

2- Why is your photo booth better with group shots? Many photo booths only have one fixed seat or bench (designed for a single-person headshot) and don't do well with groups of more than 2 people as the third person's head gets cut in half. Our adjustable 4-seat booth accommodates larger groups (3, 4 or 6+ people) which is not only more fun, but can handle more people in less time.

3- Can our guests choose either Color or B&W printouts at the event? Yes, they can choose either option with the press of a button OR we can setup the booth to print 2 strips, one Color and one Black and White or we can disable this option so all the printouts are the same -your choice.

4- What makes your photo booth more entertaining and fun? Guests standing outside the photo booth can view the TWO external monitors showing the action on the inside of the photobooth. It is extremely entertaining even for non-participating spectators! We can also provide FREE props and message boards for unique photo looks.

5- Can your photo booth take 6 pictures? Yes, we can set it up to take 4 pictures or 6 pictures per group at your event. (for no additonal charge) Remember, 6-pictures will take longer for each group and will shorten the total number of group pictures taken at your event, also with the 6-picture option the images will print smaller.

6- Will your photo booth allow the guests to choose their own printout options? Yes, our booth has four different 'start buttons' that can be programed to offer four different printouts at your event. Each guest can choose their favorite printout style.

7- Can your photo booth be delivered upstairs? Yes, no problem! Our photobooth is compact, portable and made To Go! (Many photo booths weigh over 700lbs -limiting their location usability).

8- What are the quality advantages of your photo booth? Our images are produced with a real digital camera (not a video camera) The image quality allows for reprints up to 11x14" of a single image from your photobooth set. Enlargements ordered from our event website include retouching, zooming and multiple color options. Our photo booth produces the best quality printout that comes out completly dry on waterproof paper. (Professional Lab Dye process, not inkjet). These prints not only look incredible, but will last up to 100 years.

9- Is your photo booth wheel chair accessible? Yes, we move the moveable seats so your guests in a wheel chair (or walker) can wheel their chair into position, gather their family and friends around and join in the fun!

10- How will we know if everyone will fit in the picture? After you press the start button (before each picture is taken) a video screen will show you exactly what the camera will record before it takes the picture so your group can adjust their location if needed.

11- Does your photo booth use toxic or smelly chemicals? No, it uses a totally modern digital computer process delivering better quality, faster print times and reprintable, waterproof images. Like the original photo booths of yesteryear, our prints will last for several generations.

12- How much space is required? Although the footprint of our 'booth box' is only 2' x3' you will need to plan space for lines, picture taking area, accessibility, etc. We suggest an area of at least 6'D x 8'W with additional space for the line to form.

13- How do you know when the photo is going to be taken? A countdown (3...2...1) will appear on the screen just before the 'Look at the camera' graphic appears and a green light on the camera flashes just before the image is taken.

14- Do my guests have to wait 3-5 minutes for the prints? No, our photobooth is completely digital and takes aprox. one minute per group (including printing). This reduces the backlog and waiting time for your guests! The original toxic, chemical-based photo booths typically take 3-5 minutes just for the printing alone! Ours prints a waterproof image in less than 10 seconds that will be a treasured souvenir for several generations.

15- What's the problem with a booth that requires you to stand instead of sit? The pictures look more like 'prom poses' and show too much of everyone's body. Tall and short people (including children) end up cut out of the picture. It's unauthentic --real photo booths have always had seats and capture facial expressions and head shots, not body shots.

16- Why should we book a local photo booth company like yours rather than a national chain? There are several companies offering national travel, some are using a network of regional suppliers (each with different offerings), others ship a booth over state lines then have a hired tech try to set it up. Hauling or shipping electronics long distances can create technical problems. Many of these suppliers are only middlemen and contract service providers are never as accommodating as a local owner/operator.

17- What are your photo booth rental charges? Pricing for unlimited groups at your event is based on an hourly rate depending on the date, location and specific requirements. At some events we charge by the print. Call or e-mail us for a custom quote. Minimum hours may be required for prime-time, Saturday event dates or long-distance locations. (See additional details under the pricing tab.)

18- How is the hourly rate billed? We only bill for the hours of operation which must be contiguous. There is no additional charge for idle or down time prior to the event when we have the booth setup but not operational.

19- Is there additional travel charges? Depending on your date and the number of hours you book. Standard-delivery is $200 for (wheelchair accessible) locations within a 15-mile radius of downtown Jacksonville, Florida. (Additional miles are charged at $1 each -one way within 150 miles of Jax).

20- What do you require for booking the photobooth? A 50% retainer (or $500 whichever is greater) with the contract holds your date. The full balance is due 30-days before your photo booth event. We accept all major credit cards. Here's the link to the Photo Booth Contract.

21- Can we get a guest book or scrapbook of our event? Yes, the additional price for your choice of guestbook or scrapbook includes duplicate strips printed onsite --one for the guest and one for the book. Our on-site associate will assist in cutting the strips and assembling the book during the event so it will be completed by the end. (Call or e-mail us to discuss the book options and logistics.)

22- Can I get the original camera images? Yes, you can purchase the complete CD of all the photo booth images from your event including all the individual images AND a set of all the grids AND a set of all the strips, no matter which option you chose at your event. You can see all of the options on our event website at: www.OurFavoritePhotos.com scroll down and click on PhotoBoothToGo -Event Name.

23- How many hours will I need for my event? It really depends on the number of people in each photo, the number of people in attendance, the type of event, etc. We suggest at least 1.5 hours per every 120 people if you are using the 4-picture printouts (the 6-picture printouts will take longer). Call or e-mail us to discuss the details and your exact requirements.

24- Can we customize the background and the prints? Yes, we will customize a text graphic for you, for FREE, which can include names, dates, logos, custom colors, etc. on the photo booth prints. We can also customize the background curtain in the photo booth to match the theme of your event or we can print a custom photo background from a digital file to make your unique event truly unforgettable.

25- Can you project really large pictures of the photo booth images at my event? Yes we have a projector to display the images on a wall or you can provide a movie screen or large screen LCD. The projected images will be the same ones that are viewable from the monitor on the front of the photo booth.

26- Will your photo booth look professional at my event? Yes, 80% of our photo booth is professionally draped in black and dark brown curtains (for indoor events) so it softens the typical 'industrial' boxy look which many photo booths have.

27- Can your photo booth be setup outdoors? Yes, we have an optional 'hard box' setup and rain cover that protects the booth from wind or rain. We can dress the hard surfaces of the optional 'hard box' with graphics or logos for custom branding at corporate events.

28- Are your large group pictures sharp with everyone in focus? Yes, look at all the image samples on our website of our large groups, you will notice you can clearly see the faces of six or more people in each group from near to far!

29- Are your printouts odd sizes that won't fit in our photo albums or standard frames? No our printouts are all standard sizes (2x6, 4x6, 2.5x7, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14) so you will have lots of inexpensive options available for: frames, albums, magnetic or acrylic holders, etc. .

30- What are Jumbo prints? They are 30% larger than the standard sizes. Same UV coated waterproof quality. The grids are 5 x7" and the strips are 2.5 x7". This is an available option by special request for an additional fee.

31- Can we get two duplicate 4x6 grid prints at our event? Yes, for $50 additional per hour we can set the booth to print 2 of each group set.

32- What about photo booths with 'studio-quality' lighting? That is unauthentic for a classic photo booth and more like a 'studio-in-a-box'. Our photobooth uses more traditional photo booth lighting that eliminates 'red-eye' while still flattering most complexions.

33- My event photographer said he can setup a 'photo booth', how is that different? Does it take pictures automatically or is it just a trigger on a camera? Do you get prints immediately at the event or are the images only viewable on the web? For years photographers have setup backdrops, lights and a camera at events. Just recently some have tried to pass this off as a 'photo booth'. It's just not as fun! To avoid disappointment, be sure you "try before you buy."

34- Can you create a custom designed printout for our event including borders with custom graphics? Yes, custom graphic design is billed at $60/hr. To avoid the design fee, we can give you the design/layout specs and you (or your company's graphic artist) can design the custom artwork yourself for use at your event.

35- Do you accept credit cards? Yes, we accept ALL cards including American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and Diners.
