Photos wherever guests are gathering

Roaming Photo Booth Rental

Our attendant brings a handheld photo booth to your guests. A group can take a photo during cocktail hour, make a boomerang on the dance floor or record a quick video at their table. Digital sharing is included, and wireless prints are available as an upgrade.

We bring the Roaming Booth to events across the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento and Los Angeles.

How does a roaming photo booth work?

Our attendant walks the event with the booth and invites guests to join in. Guests can see themselves on the screen, choose a still photo, boomerang or video, and share it right from the device. We can add your logo or event artwork to the finished image.

Roaming works especially well when the party moves. We can start with colleagues catching up at a reception, then move to the next room with them. If you’re comparing that setup with a few fixed stations, our multi-booth planning guide walks through the space each option needs.

Where should the booth spend its time?

Tell us where people will gather and when. At a conference reception, that might be the sponsor tables before dinner. At a wedding, it might be cocktail hour and the dance floor later. We’ll plan the route around your schedule and any areas the venue wants us to avoid.

You don’t need a dedicated backdrop for roaming photos. If you’d also like a spot for posed photos and prints, our Social Photo Booth can roam for part of the booking and return to its tower.

Roaming Photo Booth packages and event details

Here’s what your guests can do, what comes with the booking and what we’ll need from your venue.

What’s included

Who runs the booth?

One attendant takes the handheld booth to your guests for unlimited sessions during booked hours. Your rental includes 40 round-trip travel miles from our headquarters.

What can guests make?

Guests can take still photos, make boomerangs or record short videos and share them from the booth. We include a custom template or overlay, digital props and an online gallery.

Optional upgrades

What if we want prints?

Add wireless printing for two 2×6 strips or one 4×6 print per photo session. For a copy for everyone in the group, the unlimited-print upgrade includes a separate sharing station and an additional team member.

What else can we add?

Options include a 32–40-inch live display, five double-sided custom signs, a custom LED sign, a sharing station, a custom sharing message or an event report. You can also add more hours, a USB drive or a standard or custom photo book.

Venue and setup

How should we plan the roaming route?

Send us your event schedule, the rooms where guests will gather and the earliest load-in time. We’ll confirm the setup window in your proposal. For a printer or display, we’ll also plan where it will sit and where power is available.

Will wireless prints work in every room?

Print coverage depends on the distance to the printer and the strength of the wireless signal along the route. We’ll review both with you. We bring a mobile connection, and venue Wi-Fi helps with digital sharing.

Gallery and outdoor events

How do guests get their photos?

Digital sharing is included, and the online gallery is available for 60 days after the event. On-site prints are available when you add a printing option to the booking.

Can the attendant roam outdoors?

Yes, weather permitting. Tell us which outdoor areas you’d like us to cover and where guests will gather if the event moves under cover.

Roaming photo booth questions

Does roaming work for a company reception?

Yes. An attendant can stop by groups as colleagues catch up, even when guests are spread across several rooms. For a company party with several photo options, compare our corporate photo booth rentals.

Can guests get a print?

Yes, if you add printing. The standard rental includes digital sharing. Let us know whether you want a strip or a 4×6 photo, and we’ll confirm what works with the wireless signal and distance to the printer.

Can we add our logo?

Yes. Send your logo or event artwork and we’ll use it to create a custom digital overlay. If you have sponsor logos, send those with the creative brief.

Is this the same as event photography?

With the Roaming Booth, guests join a short photo or video session with our attendant. If you want photographers to cover speakers and other moments throughout the program, our event photography with guest photo matching is a separate service.

Check availability for your event

Send us your event date, venue, guest count and the hours you’d like us to roam. If you want guests to leave with a print, mention that too. We’ll help you choose the setup and send a quote.
