Why should I book a photo booth for my next event?
There are many reasons why you want to add a photo booth for your next event. The primary reason most clients book a photo booth is to provide fun interactive entertainment for their guests. Other reasons include brand activations, marketing, and social media promotions.
What type of booth should I book for my event?
The three primary factors that drive this decision are your goals for the event, event budget, and event type. Photo Booths come in many different types: Open Air vs. Enclosed. Printing vs. Digital. Photo vs. Video. Take look at our detailed blog posts regarding different events and booth types. https://picturemesa.com/blog/
How much does a photo booth rental cost in the San Antonio Area?
This is the question we get most often and the answer is, it varies 🤷♀️ . We wish we had a better answer but the truth is you’ll want to compare at least 3 photo booth companies before you book. Most photo booth rentals are based on 2-4 hour packages. We recommend inquiring about what exactly is provided in each package. We have seen prices ranging from $400-$3000. As we said it varies based on many factors. The key to remember is not necessarily cost, but value. You’ll want to get the best bang for your buck.

How can we customize our booth experience?
There are many ways a photo booth can be customized. We offer customized photo templates (prints) that can match your event’s theme, colors and logos. For weddings, we try to match the template very closely to your invitations to keep the look consistent. We can also provide a variety of backdrop types and designs. For corporate and social events, we can provide a logo wrapped branded photo booth. Custom HTML microsite with logos and branding messages can also be provided.
Are props included in your packages?
Given the current concerns regarding sanitation, we will no longer offer physical props for use. We do realize that props make the photo booth experience fun and interactive. We now offer digital props for our photo booth packages that provide a fun and safe alternative. We can also create customized digital props if you’d like.
How much physical space is needed for the booth?
Our photo and video booths are all open-air styled. For most photo booth events, we require an 8×8 space, mostly to accommodate the backdrop. We offer a variety of product as we understand space can be a premium in venues.
Here are the space requirements for each booth we offer:
Modern Photo Booth: 8 foot x 8 foot
Boom Booth: 4 foot x 4 foot
Slow Motion Booth: 10 foot x 10 foot
Glam Booth: 6 foot x 6 foot
Roamer Booth: No requirement. Mobile solution
VR 360 Booth: 8 foot x 8 foot
