We’ve tried to answer the most commonly asked questions below, but if you can’t find the answer you are looking for, or have a more unusual request, please feel free to get in touch.
How good are your photos & prints?
They’re fantastic! We are professional photographers after all, so taking beautiful pictures is what we do best. Visit www.peterleese.co.uk to see more examples of our work. We have designed our booths to accommodate the same equipment that we use to photograph our weddings and portraits, so all of your photo booth pictures will be sharp, hi res digital images lit by professional studio lights. We use dye sublimation printers which are the best in the business. The prints are ready in seconds and instantly touch dry and water proof. They are also really durable and will not fade over time.
What colour are your photo booths?
Our photo booths are predominantly white and feature our pretty retro logo in soft pastel colours. They come complete with a beautiful beige linen curtain, so their neutral appearance will fit well into any setting. Branded photo booths and custom curtain colours can be supplied at an additional cost. Get in touch to find out more.
Can your photo booths be decorated or themed inside?
Yes one of the things that we specialise in is custom designed, handmade backdrops and decorations for inside our photo booths. Let us know your colour scheme or theme and we will design you something truly unique that will make your photos pop!
How much space will we need at our venue?
We have 2 different photo booth models to cater for venues of all shapes and sizes. Each booth comes flat packed, fits through a normal sized door and be transported up and down stairs. We require a floor space of 2.5 m x 2 m with a ceiling height of 2.5 m for our Big Booth. This booth is more suited towards larger venues with good access. Contact us if you are unsure about whether your venue is suitable for this model. Our Classic Booth requires a floor space of 2.3 m x 1.25 m and a ceiling height of 2.1 m. This booth is really compact, so there are fewer restrictions. We are happy to liaise with the venue on your behalf to arrange the best place for the booth to go, as well as finalise set up and break down times.
Can your photo booths go outside?
Our photo booths require a covered location as electricity and water don’t mix and you can never guarantee the British weather! They are absolutely fine in a marquee as long as there is a relatively flat, solid floor and power for a normal 13 amp socket. We can also supply a mini marquee and generator for our Classic Booth at an additional cost, should you require it, so please ask about this at the time of booking.
How many people can fit inside your photo booths?
You won’t find a seat in our Big Booth, just plenty of space to move about and strike that killer pose! As a result more people can fit inside and your pictures end up looking far more spontaneous. Our Big Booth is one of the most spacious booths available and easily accomodates between 8 and 10. Our Classic Booth is a bit smaller and comfortably holds between 4 and 5. This model can be modified to include a seat if required.
Do you supply a props box?
We offer a free dressing up box with all of our packages, full of stylish props. You won’t find any tacky items inside! Many of our props have been lovingly hand crafted and sourced from the USA, where the trend for photo booths first originated. We carry an eclectic range of weird and wonderful accessories including hats, glasses, masks, moustaches and lips on sticks, quirky signs and speech bubbles and general silliness!
Who looks after the photo booth?
We always have a polite and friendly trained member of staff attend your event, who will take care of everything for you and show your guests how to operate the booth.
What about insurance and safety?
All professional photo booth companies must carry public liability insurance and we are no exception. All of our booths are also electrically PAT tested and safety is one of our prime concerns. Should your venue require copies of our certificates, including our risk assessment, just let us know.
How long does it take to set up your photo booths?
We like to give ourselves at least 2 hours to set up our Big Booth and at least 1 hour for our Classic Booth. We always travel with plenty of contingency time as well.
Can you set up the photo booth earlier and return to run it later?
Should you require an earlier set up, prior to your guests arriving, or before dinner for example, we will try our best to accomodate you. This may be subject to an additional charge depending on the number of increased hours, but contact us for a quote if you are unsure about this.
How long do we get to use the photo booth for?
Our standard booth run time is 3 hours, but additional hours can be added to your package at a cost of £75 each.
How many photos are included during the hire time?
We offer unlimited photos and prints for the duration of the hire time. As fast as your guests can strike a pose, the booth will produce the prints!
How big are the prints?
Our prints measure 6 x 4”/15 x 10 cm.
Can we have colour or black and white prints?
You can choose whether to have colour or black and white prints with both of our photo booth models.
Can we personalise our prints?
We can add a logo or message to your prints for £25. This option is included with our Wedding Package.
Do we get a digital copy of the pictures taken in the booth?
You will receive a disc with hi res digital copies of your entire collection of photo booth prints, printable up to the 6 x 4" size without any loss in resolution. These are also available to download at no extra cost from your online gallery. If you've booked our Wedding Package, you will also receive a fun DVD slide show of all of the individual images set to music. Both of your discs will be with you within 21 days of your event. Digital copies of the individual images in various different sizes can be downloaded from your online gallery at an additional cost.
Can our guests view the images after the event?
Yes, a day or so after your event we create a password protected online gallery for you and your guests to view the images. This facility also allows you to download unlimited digital copies of the images (6 x 4” size) at no extra cost. Larger sizes of the individual images are also available to purchase from your gallery.
What is the facebook upload option?
As part of our service we upload the best 10 to 20 images from your event to our Facebook fan page, to let you and your guests know that your online gallery is available. You also have the option to have all of your event photos uploaded to facebook after your event, so that your guests can tag themselves and share the images with their friends. It’s entirely up to you whether you would like us to do this for you, just let us know your preference at the time of booking.
How does the guest book option work?
We set the photo booth up to print 2 copies of each print, 1 for your guests and 1 for your guest book. We assemble the book for you at your event and encourage your guests to leave messages beside their prints. We have sourced the most gorgeous guest book. Handmade in England, our recycled cream leather album contains 60 ivory pages with glycine interleaving. Measuring 31 cm x 24.5 cm, it will comfortably hold two 6 x 4" photos on a page with space for your guests to write messages. We always ensure your book is completed to a high standard and will hand deliver it to you at the end of your photo booth hire, gift wrapped and in perfect condition.
What is the video messaging option all about?
Our photo booths are also video booths and can record video messages, which we will professionally edit and burn onto DVD for you after your event. Your guests can go in on their own or in small groups and leave heartfelt, hilarious clips for you to watch back and relive the fun of your day!
How does the slide show projection option work?
As the images are taken inside the booth, they are automatically sent via a live feed and projected onto a screen or monitor so that your guests waiting outside can join in the fun. It will continue adding and rotating the pictures throughout the duration of the event. As well as a traditional large screen or monitor, we can project the images in colour or black and white onto a piece of canvas. This gives the images a lovely vintage feel, perfect if that's the theme for your event. Contact us to find out if your venue is suiable for this option.
How much do your photo booths cost to hire?
Our hire prices start from as little as £495 for our Classic Booth and £595 for our Big Booth for 3 hours of run time.
