What to Look for When Hiring a Photo Booth Company

Planning an event? Adding a photo booth is one of the best ways to keep your guests entertained and leave them with something to remember. But before you book, it’s worth knowing what really matters when choosing a photo booth company. Not all services are the same, and the right one can take your event to the next level.

Here’s what to keep in mind.

1. Photo Quality

Let’s face it—no one wants grainy, dark pictures. The quality of your booth's camera and lighting setup matters more than you might think. Some booths use digital systems that, with proper lighting and configuration, deliver bright, clear, and share-worthy photos. Others use high-resolution DSLR cameras that offer studio-quality images. Both can be excellent, depending on the experience behind the setup.

At Red Coat Photo, we offer both digital and DSLR photo booth options. Whether you're after the polished feel of professional photography or the fast-paced fun of a digital setup, we ensure every shot looks great with the right lighting and placement.

2. Setup and Appearance

A photo booth should enhance your event, not clash with it. Make sure the booth fits the space and looks clean and well-presented. A streamlined, attractive setup makes all the difference—especially in photos that guests will take home or post online.

Our booths are designed to be both functional and visually appealing. We take the time to ensure each setup blends naturally into your venue and complements the style of your event.

3. Backdrop Options

Customization is great, but what most people really want is variety. Having a selection of attractive backdrops lets you find something that fits your theme without getting overwhelmed by options you don’t need.

Red Coat Photo offers a curated collection of backdrops—from elegant to fun—to match the tone of your event. No guesswork, just great choices.

4. Digital Sharing Features

Guests love walking away with prints, but they also want to share their moments right away. A good photo booth should offer both. Look for options that let guests receive their photos instantly through text, email, or QR code.

All of our booth rentals include instant digital sharing, so your guests can take the fun with them and post their favorites before the event even ends.

5. Reliability and Professionalism

A booth is more than just equipment—it’s a service. You want a team that shows up on time, sets up smoothly, and knows how to keep things running. Even the best gear won’t save an event if the people behind it aren’t dependable.

At Red Coat Photo, we’re committed to making things easy for you. We manage the setup, keep things organized, and make sure your guests are having a great time—without you having to worry about a thing.

Why It Matters

A photo booth adds energy, personality, and memories to your event. The company you choose affects not just the photos, but the entire experience. From equipment and lighting to setup and service, the details matter.

Red Coat Photo offers reliable, high-quality photo booth rentals that fit seamlessly into your event. With a variety of booth types, backdrops, and instant sharing options, we help you create a fun, stress-free experience your guests will remember.
