Mirror Booth or Classic Photo Booth? How to Choose

January 31, 2023•2 min read

Photo booths come in a lot of styles now. Two of the most popular are the classic open-air booth and the mirror booth. Both are a blast. Here is how to pick the right one for your event.

The open-air photo booth

Our standard booth is an open-air kiosk with a backdrop. There is no enclosure, so big groups fit easily and everyone nearby can see the fun.

  • Great for big groups and friend photos

  • Works at weddings, sweet 16s, proms and corporate events

  • Included in our standard photo booth package

The Mirror Booth

The Mirror Booth is an upgrade. It looks like a large framed mirror and doubles as a statement piece in the room. Guests see themselves as they pose, which makes it feel interactive and a little glamorous.

  • A stylish look that fits formal weddings and galas

  • A natural conversation starter at corporate events

  • Fits in anywhere as part of the decor

What every booth includes

Whichever you choose, the quality is the same. Every booth shoots on a professional DSLR camera with studio flash, not an iPad or tablet.

  • Unlimited sessions and prints

  • A booth attendant all night

  • A table full of props

  • A custom print template with your names, date or logo

  • An online gallery of every photo

Weddings and private events also get our signature scrapbook.

Want more privacy?

Add a drape enclosure or an inflatable cube enclosure. Both work with either booth, and they give guests a little privacy to get silly.

How to choose

  • Lots of big groups and a party crowd: the open-air booth

  • A formal look or a booth that doubles as decor: the Mirror Booth

  • Not sure? Ask us. We’ll help you pick based on your venue and crowd
