Digital vs print photo booth: which one do you need?

This is the first decision, and it mostly comes down to one question: do your guests want something to take home?

Digital photo booths (Signature and Premium Signature)

Guests take unlimited photos, GIFs and boomerangs and get them instantly by text, email or QR code. Nothing is printed.

  • Best for: younger crowds, birthdays, corporate events, and couples who want photos shared on social media during the night.
  • Why people pick it: it's the most affordable option and guests can take as many photos as they want.

Print photo booths (Deluxe and Ultra Luxe)

Guests get a printed photo strip (2×6) or a 4×6 print within seconds, plus the digital copy. An attendant runs the booth all night.

  • Best for: weddings, milestone birthdays, baptisms, and any event with older guests who love a physical keepsake.
  • Why people pick it: prints end up on fridges and in guest books for years. Deluxe includes up to 200 prints; Ultra Luxe includes unlimited prints.

Our honest advice: for a wedding with 100+ guests and a mix of ages, go with a print booth. For a party where most guests are under 35, digital is usually all you need.

How many hours do you need?

A simple rule: the booth should be open from the end of dinner until the last hour of dancing. That's when guests are relaxed, dressed up and looking for something fun to do.

  • Birthday or house party: 2 to 3 hours is plenty.
  • Wedding reception: 4 to 6 hours. Open it during cocktail hour if there's a gap between the ceremony and dinner, and keep it running through the dance floor.
  • Corporate event: match the networking part of the night, usually 2 to 3 hours.

What the venue needs

Most Ottawa venues can host a booth without any extra work. Plan for:

  • A space about 10 × 10 feet near the dance floor or bar, where guests naturally pass by
  • One standard power outlet within reach
  • Indoor space or a covered area if the party is outside

We handle delivery, setup before guests arrive, and teardown at the end of the night, so neither you nor the venue staff have to lift anything.

What's the difference between a digital and a print photo booth?
