A photo booth gives guests something to do between the speeches and the dancing, and sends everyone home with a picture. Booths range from an enclosed box to an open setup with a backdrop, and to "mirror" booths, a full-length touch screen that guests pose in front of.

Prices as listed on each company's Easy Weddings page, read 3 October 2026.

The hourly packages we found start at three hours. Click Click's listing says its packages include 40 kilometres of travel from Brisbane, with $2 a kilometre beyond that.

What is usually included

Reading the packages above, the usual inclusions are an attendant to run the booth, props, a backdrop, digital copies of every photo and, in print packages, unlimited prints. Digital-only packages are cheaper.

What to ask

  • How long is the hire, and when does the clock start: at setup, or when guests arrive?
  • Prints: how many, what size, and is there a guest book?
  • How much floor space and power does the booth need?
  • How and when do you get the digital gallery?

Pairing it with the entrance

A booth placed at the end of a red carpet, as in the picture above, makes the arrival the photo. See the red carpet guide for runner and post sizes.
