Good question, glad you asked! An open air photo booth is like a portable photo studio, complete with a professional DSLR camera, professional studio lighting and a studio backdrop or interesting wall. Unlike the traditional shopping centre style photo booths a stack of people can fit in each photo… more people = more fun!

Designed by a commercial photographer using professional lighting, everyone will have their best face forward. The high end gear helps things along too. Either way you can rest assured you’re getting the best photos on the market and we mean it, our photos give other booths a good whippin’.

It sure is! We’re there to make sure everything runs smoothly, all you have to do it jump in front of the INSTABOX, tap the screen and have fun… leave the rest up to us.

We offer photo booths for hire in the greater New York area. We also cover New Jersey and Connecticut. We enjoy traveling, feel free to chat with us about your event, no matter where it may be, we can see if we can help.

INSTABOX NYC photo booths are extremely portable, we can carry them in elevators, up stairs, anywhere really. The main issue is weather, so indoors or undercover is preferable just incase it’s raining or windy! Chat to us and we can help suggest the best option for your event. We require an area of approx 8×8 feet for the camera, lighting, backdrop, prop table etc along with access to one 10 amp (regular) power point.

Setting up the INSTABOX is quick and easy and we can be ready to shoot in minutes. But we usually arrive an hour early just to be safe.

Nope. If you book us for three hours you get three hours of shooting time. We generally set up before guests arrive and pack down at an equally appropriate time.

Most certainly! We have more props than your guests can shake a moustache on a stick at.

Most certainly! You will receive high resolution, fully edited print ready files. Instabox classic use a high megapixel full frame DSLR camera, so you can do fantastic enlargements of your favourite photographs. We post all your images to a password protected online gallery, so you and your guests can download them whenever the urge takes you!

It includes a customized scrapbook backdrop (themes and colors), a double set of prints (one for the guest, one for your scrapbook) and a scrapbook station with supplies (paper, good markers, stickers, scissors, double-sided tape) for your guests to add their photos and comments. Brides love scrapbooks as a fun alternative to conventional guestbooks!
