Yesterday I went to a wedding where they had this photo booth. We were all very excited to see a photo booth but, in the end, we were quite disappointed by it. It gets two stars for the mere fact it is a photo booth that is one of those photo "booths" where a camera from a photo booth points at you but you don't have to get inside of anything. Aside from that, nothing was good about it.
First, the setup did not make any sense. The people put the props on the opposite side of the photo area than the line and said we could not look at the props until we were in line. Essentially, that meant that we could only look at the props for a few seconds before it was time to take photos. That caused a lot of confusion because the people behind us in line thought more than once that we had decided not to take photos after standing in the line since we had to walk past the spot where photos are taken to pick up the props. Then, we were supposed to put one of the photo printouts in a scrapbook for the bride and groom (we could keep the other). Rather than have the scrapbook near where we were supposed to pick it up, they put it where the line starts. Basically, the whole setup was completely backwards.
Worse still, the photo booth was run by a very unfriendly person. He made it seem that it was our fault that people were confused thinking that we had left when we went for props, instead of realizing it was because the setup was backwards. He would not allow us to even try to fit more than 5 people in the photo frame. He even put himself in some of the photos, blocking out guests, and thought that was funny. Who would want his photo in their album?
Overall, I wouldn't hire them for any event. read more
