Photo booth hire in Sydney and Australia wide
Photo booth hire in Sydney where guests squeeze in, grab a prop and walk away with a print a minute later. You get every photo in an online gallery, and packages of four hours or more add a guest book your attendant fills as the night goes.
What your guests get
DSLR camera and studio lighting
Sharp, evenly lit photos in a dim reception room, not grainy phone-style shots.
Unlimited prints
Colour, black and white or sepia, printed in seconds and dry to touch straight away.
Your design on every strip
Names, date or company logo on a 2x6 or 4x6 inch layout, designed for you before the event.
Room for a crowd
Up to 12 people in one shot, which is where the best photos of the night usually come from.
Digital copies to download
Download your digital copies from your online gallery.
Props and backdrops

4.9 from 50 Google reviews
Plus 4.8 from 8 on Easy Weddings. Both cover the whole business: the DJ, the booths and the bar.
Elegant booth or open-air booth
The Elegant booth is enclosed with a curtain, which is when people stop posing and start pulling faces. The open-air booth fits bigger groups and lets the room watch. Either way, pick a backdrop to suit your styling. Every booth booking carries the same inclusions whatever length you book.
- ✓Elegant booth: enclosed cabinet with curtain
- ✓Open-air booth: large groups, backdrop behind
- ✓Plain backdrops: black, purple, cream, sky blue, red, white, green, pink
- ✓Chevron backdrops: gold, aqua, black, grey, red, navy
Looking for a vintage photo booth? That is the enclosed one
People searching for vintage photo booth hire in Sydney are usually picturing the original thing: a cabinet you step into, a curtain you pull across, and a strip of prints that drops out the side. That is our Elegant booth. The open-air set-up is the modern format, better for big groups and for letting the room watch.
What makes it read vintage is the styling around it rather than the machine. Deep draping instead of a plain wall, warm lighting, a prop table with hats and frames, and a print layout designed in the era you are after. Tell us the look you have in mind when you enquire and we will put the set-up together to match.
- ✓Enclosed cabinet with a curtain, the traditional format
- ✓Strips printed and dry within seconds
- ✓Draping, props and print design chosen to suit the era
- ✓Black and white or sepia prints on request
The booth is the easy part. What guests do with it is the point
Draping, backdrops and print designs from past events, and what happens once the props box is open. The set-up decides how it photographs. The attendant decides whether the queue keeps moving.
How photo booth hire in Sydney works
Print design approved
Before the event we design your print layout with names, date or logo and send it for sign-off.
Delivery and set-up
We arrive before guests, set up the booth and backdrop, and test the camera, lights and printer.
Your hours start
The clock only starts once the booth is running. Your attendant helps with props, prints and the guest book.
Pack-down and gallery
We tidy up and pack away, and every photo is waiting in your online gallery.
Photo booth packages
Every package includes the same kit and the same service. Unlimited prints, an attendant for the whole booking, props, your custom print design, an online gallery, set-up and removal. Not one of those is an upgrade. Hours are the only thing that changes. All prices include GST, and extra hours are $165 each. A $250 deposit confirms your date, with the balance due seven days before.

Extras and add-ons
Every extra is quoted to your event, so send your date and venue and we will price what you pick. Keyrings, lenticular prints and magnetic strips are printed and cut on site as your guests go, so there is nothing to order ahead. Tell us which you want when you enquire.
Video guest book
Guests leave messages, stories and wishes on video, a modern take on the guest book that you can revisit later.
Instant digital sharing kiosk
A dedicated station where guests view and share their photos and videos at the event.
Keyring station
Favourite photo booth moments turned into personalised keyrings guests take home.
Lenticular prints
Prints that change or animate as you tilt them, a keepsake guests do not see every day.
Trading card creator
Guests become personalised trading cards, popular at themed events, parties and corporate activations.
Magnetic photo strips
A photo strip guests can stick on the fridge, turning a night out into an everyday keepsake.
Photo strip holders and stands
Holders and stands that give photo strips a proper finish and make them easy to display.
Custom backdrop or media wall
Your branding, a couple's monogram or a step-and-repeat wall built to the size of your space.
Bollards and red or black carpet
An entry that makes the queue part of the night rather than a line against a wall.
Booth branding
Your logo or artwork wrapped on the booth itself, not just on the prints.
Roaming booth
A handheld ring-light booth that works the room instead of waiting for the room to come to it. Suits cocktail events and standing receptions.
Additional hours
Extend on the night or book in advance, which costs less.
Add an audio guest book
Guests pick up the handset of a vintage-style phone and leave a message in their own voice, a keepsake you can listen back to. It sits on a reception table beside the booth, so the quieter guests have somewhere to say what they would never say into a microphone. It suits weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and corporate celebrations. Ask us to add it to your booth booking and we will quote it with your package.
Photo booth hire in Sydney: common questions
How much does photo booth hire cost in Sydney?
Photo booth packages carry a starting price that includes the attendant, unlimited prints, props, a backdrop, your custom print design and delivery, set-up and pack-down across Sydney metro. What moves the figure is your hours, your date and whether the booth goes on the same booking as a DJ or bar staff.
Do you have a vintage or retro photo booth?
The enclosed booth is the traditional format: a cabinet you step into with a curtain across the front and strips that print out the side. Most of the vintage look comes from the styling around it, so we match the draping, props and print design to the era you are after. Tell us what you have in mind and we will show you what the set-up would look like.
Can we have black and white photo booth prints?
Yes. Every session can print in colour, black and white or sepia, and guests choose at the booth. Black and white suits a classic or vintage-styled reception, and it prints from the same booth at no extra cost.
We already have a photographer. Do we need a photo booth too?
They do different jobs. Your photographer covers the ceremony, speeches and portraits. The booth catches what happens in between, when guests are in control of the camera and grab a prop with their friends. Those are usually the photos people pass around afterwards.
Are prints really unlimited?
Yes. Every guest can print every session, in colour, black and white or sepia, for the whole booking.
How much space does the booth need?
Tell us your venue and we will confirm. The open-air set-up needs more room for the backdrop and group shots than the Elegant booth. We also need a power point nearby.
Can you put our logo on the prints?
Yes. Custom logo and print layout design is included in every package, in a 2x6 or 4x6 inch format. Corporate clients often use this for launches and staff parties.
Do we get the photos afterwards?
Every photo goes into an online gallery, and your guests can view and download them.
Where do guests find their photos after the event?
Photos from our booths go into an online gallery for your event. The link is on our Gallery page under Find your event photos, or ask us and we will send it to you.
Can we book the photo booth with a DJ?
Yes. Booking the booth with a DJ or bar staff means one quote, one contact and one set-up crew on the day.

Call us to put both on one booking. We will time the booth around speeches so the dance floor and the booth are not competing.
