Benefits of Having a Photo Booth Rental Service For Your Event

"Pictures, or it didn’t happen."

Unconsciously, this is what we all think when we talk about events and celebrations. It’s fair enough though, because humans have been documenting their lives with none other than pictures. From thousand-year old cave paintings to the most advanced camera, people are bound to capture every moment possible at all cost.

We can all agree that every event should be documented - it’s a golden rule. It is an essential part to consider for an event that goes with the planning, which demands attention, time and resources. People usually hire official photographers to handle all of it, but it shouldn’t be settled to just that when you can open a lot of possibilities to pump up your event by renting a photo booth.

These are the 5 general reasons why you should have a photo booth rental service for your event.

1. Can be easily set-up

Most photo booths nowadays are designed to be portable for the service to be transported and settled in different types of venue. Pop-up photo booths have been trendy for a long time and a combination of these easy functions are featured now in photo booth rental services. Instead of stressing yourself with setting up your own booth, you can just set for a photo booth rental service in advance and coordinate with them on what you want it to be. Most designs are pre-made already that are available in their site’s gallery and personalized decorations can be prepared just for you in advance.

2. Professional documentation

In a photo booth rental service, photos are taken with professional photography-like skills and in high-definition quality. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the booth is better than professional photographers if you also hired some. They have their own advantages, but when you’re going to compare the results of their photos, the ones from the booth are better and have more formality than the ones from the on-the-run photographers. This is because of the lighting effect and fixed angle position in the controlled environment of the booth compared to the raw and varying angles with manual photography. This is not a contest on quality though because both have their own set of functions. It’s more on which usually is preferred. In photo booth rentals, pictures can be automatically enhanced by a wide-range of filters and software. There will be no blurred, distorted, or mixed quality and often embarrassing photos taken and shared by guests who usually take photos on their own cameras. Having official photographers and/or photo booth are crowd-control tools too. They sub-consciously instruct people to refrain from taking the documentation on their own and rely instead on "authorized" picture-takers.

3. Multi-purpose

Firstly, a unique function of a photo booth is the fast printing of results. This only means that the printed pictures can serve as alternative souvenirs - something that every guest look out for. Nothing beats a memento with your own face on it. Secondly, the photo booth experience itself can serve as an activity to entertain the guests. Need a time-killer to set something up or fill-in a gap while preparing the table? Point them to the photo booth! Props and costumes that match your event theme are usually provided so guests of all ages can have fun in taking pictures. Lastly, it’s an effective avenue for marketing purposes for corporate events, product launches and expos. In photo booths, not only are the pictures available to be printed in minutes, one can also request for the soft copies and upload it on the social media platforms they are in. Having your brand name and logo on the background, caption and/or hashtags will let you have exposure that is almost equal to personal endorsement. Renting a photo booth might lead to your brand’s digital marketing break.

4. Customization

You can match or balance the theme of your event with customizable background, props and costumes. In photo booths, designs are made by skilled artists so you don’t have to worry of the quality of the booth’s appearance. You can even personalize the booth at your heart’s content. There are different themes and set-ups available from them if you’re lacking of idea.

5. Cost-efficient

Cost-efficiency is being able to do more with less. This is the ultimate reason why you should have a photo booth rental service for your event and is actually the bottomline of your decision. It saves time and effort for the whole event. You won’t stress much on preparation once you’ve settled it all with the rental service. You also don’t have to stress over it during the event because the service comes with a team of friendly attendants that will facilitate the booth activities and can even lend you a hand. Practically speaking, it will also let you cut cost by paying for the whole package instead of buying and assembling the decorations by parts. This makes sense because cost doesn’t only pertain to money but also to time and effort. Just imagine saving a lot by paying for a reasonable price and then actually being able to do more and enjoy more. Total cost-efficient!

These are the reasons that should help you decide on how to pump your event up and make it more memorable. It’s fun and it lets the people smile, not just for the camera, but also for the essence of the event that you get to share with them. That is the best factor to consider (let’s not mention your big savings) on your next event plan.
