Not that kind of booth

A kiosk is a tablet on a stand. This is a photographer.

The short version of the difference. The long version, with photos, is on the explainer.

Asked and answered

01How much space does the booth need at a Bay Area venue?

About ten by ten feet with a standard outlet nearby. We've squeezed into less. Send us a photo of the spot and we'll tell you.

02What power does the booth need?

One standard outlet near the booth. If the spot is outdoors or a long way from a wall, say so when you check your date and we'll plan for it.

03Can the booth go outdoors in the Bay Area?

Yes, with cover. Strobes and printers don't do direct sun or rain, so the sweet spot is against a wall under a roof, a tent or shade. Tell us it's outdoors when you check your date and we plan for it.

04How far ahead should we book a photo booth in San Francisco?

Peak Saturdays (May, June, September, October) go three to six months out. We hold a date the day you ask, and a real person replies within one business day, usually the same afternoon.
