What is a pipe and drape photo booth? This is a new term for a, "Photo Booth," that is simply made out of pvc pipe or metal piping surrounded by some kind of drapery, whether it be velour or otherwise. They use a store bought digital camera connected to a home use printer that is often placed outside the set-up on a table. I don't know about you, but I'd say this is a bit tacky. Even more tacky, is the circus looking velour curtain set-up. Most importantly, because of the low quality printing equipment that is used, the pictures taken in these booths WILL FADE after about a month.
OUR digital machine is not made of pipes and drapery, but rather, is a legitimate photo booth that uses a commercial use camera and a top of the line dye-sublimation printer to produce TWO photo strips per session on high quality photo paper.
These companies try to use their convenience, and ability to easily get into any location as a selling point. We always communicate directly with the venue weeks in advance to find a way to get our equipment into the building. In 15 years, we have almost never had a situation where we cannot get the photo booth, classic or digital, into a venue. It is our years of experience and attention to detail as far as our preparation goes that allows us to make these machines just as versatile as the pipe and drape set-up that gets tossed into some guys mini-van and brought to your wedding. These companies have HIDDEN CHARGES!! Additional fees for idle time, additional fees for delivery, additional fees depending upon how close to the event you make your reservation, additional fees for duplicate pictures, and sometimes additional fees for more than a certain number of photos taken.
