Baltimore MD Photo Booth Rentals by Studio 87
Photo Booth Rental = A Better Time!
Most people over look the entertainment they want to provide for their guests! A DJ is great, but having lots of photos is better!
Throughout the years I’ve attended and covered hundreds of events
as a photographer and had even more inquiries for event photography. The people that reached out to my business for event coverage were people that wanted to document their events so they can remember them and have all the photos in an online gallery to share with all their guests because memories are important!
We’ve been serving Baltimore Maryland for over a decade now! That’s a long time and we have nothing but 5-star ratings across every profile we own. Now adding booth rentals in Baltimore you’re in better hands than anywhere else!
While I would love to cover every event possible (and I have for the most part) a photo booth can really help solve the problem of the host or planner deciding to have a photographer or not and provide another form of entertainment for their guests and it might actually (if bundled) be cheaper with a photographer or cheaper THAN having a photographer, a win-win! (Having both isn’t a bad idea!)
Below we will break down the reasons a renting a photo booth for your next event will greatly help your audience to have a better event experience and have something to take away and share after the event is over!
What is a photo booth?
Share Photos Instantly
We already have rentals in Baltimore MD, and then we added our photo booth rental to the mix and contributed to hundreds of amazing events, wedding receptions, non-profit events, and even cannabis events all across the DMV with our photo booth rental!
A photo booth rental or a selfie station can come in different shapes and sizes. Ours is a sleek, modern, and clean-looking stand with the latest iPad installed inside.
But in one sentence, it’s how much fun your guests will have!
It has a ring light around the edges to illuminate anyone standing in front of it and has great software that's easy to use, and allows for gifs (short video clips), photos, and even virtual props!
Some other photos booth options include:
Photo booth with a bright flash and photography umbrellas that have an actual DLSR camera inside
Enclosed photo booth or open air booths
Photo booths with printers for quick printing of photos
Large Mirror booths
360 photo booth where the camera spins around a platform
And more!
Think about what type of event you will be hosting, the age of the guests, the types of activities you will have, and the experience you want to provide.
These factors may change your photo booth experience and help you decide on which photo booth to choose.
Our photo booth is 5-star rated and one of the top options for booth rentals in Baltimore!

Weddings can be stressful and we understand that.
Captured by Pelenguino
We aim to provide a seamless experience from beginning to end so we don't add on more stress. All professional vendors understand this. We are not only a vendor, but we are also a guest and we take that very seriously.
That said, in addition to our wedding photo and video services which can be viewed here, we have now added photo booth rental to the package. Providing all the visual documentation you could ask for on your wedding day.
Imagine when you’re sitting back weeks later, all married and everything, and you want to relive the day and you not only have pictures of your wedding from the photographer, videos from a cinematographer but also more personalized content from a photo booth where your guests spent a part of the night taking quality pictures and videos of themselves at your party!
You might even get to see more couples displaying love as they do at a wedding. It’s the feels for us!
Photo Booths for Parties and Celebrations
There are a few things to consider when picking a photo booth for your next party or celebration as not all photo booths will work for the amount of space you will have at your venue of choice, even an open air booth if your gathering takes place indoor or outdoors.
Our booth rental only requires a 6 x 6 space and since it’s a standalone unit, people can walk around it with no problem so it will virtually only take up a 2 x 2 space. The additional space is so your guests can stand in front of it and take their photos!
Photo booth Rentals are great for:
Birthdays
School events
Bar and bat mitzvahs
Baby Showers
Bridal Showers
Wedding receptions
Engagement parties
Corporate events
Company holiday party
Almost all Holiday parties
Networking events
Non profit fundraisers
Other special events
And more!
Photo booths may work for other events, but your demographic has to be aligned and/or into taking selfies. I mean mostly everyone would be open, but some people don’t like to have fun haha.
If you are hosting an event where the crowd is more mature, they may not want to take selfies, although, if they are a fun crowd, they may enjoy being silly and taking selfies with friends and family.
Who knows, you may just be introducing them to a whole new level of fun with a photo booth rental!
Photo booths add excitement to many types of events! It’s not just something else for your guest to do, think about the online gallery of surprises you’ll get to see after its all said and done! With personalized photo strips and overlays on the images, you can help promote your brand and also give the guests a great takeaway with instant digital copies.
We are located in Baltimore, MD, and are willing to travel up to 20 miles, some coverage above 10 miles may require a travel fee. Being the best photo booth in the area wasn’t an easy task, we’ve developed a process for our booth rental that keeps guests calling us back for all the events they have!
A photo booth for Corporate Events and Holiday Parties
When you're at work and you leave work to attend a work function, it shouldn't still be about work! Add some flair to the package. Select the proper photo booth services and you'll even have some content to share on the company blog and social media. With the photos, you can then create a guest book for your safe keeping!
School Events
A photo booth is also great for school events! Depending on the location, whether indoor or outdoor, adding a booth will help with strengthening the culture, and provide an amazing atmosphere to share with teachers, students, and staff. Once all the photos are delivered (usually within 24 hours) you’ll be able to share on your newsletters or simply internally with the team.
Rent A Selfie Booth
Selfie Booths
These booths give your attendees freedom to be themselves! Most selfie booths do not require an attendant and allow people to simply step in front of it, do a little dance and take a photo! This photo booth is the easiest one to request and manage. Once we set it up in 20 minutes or less, its ready to go!
360 photo booths
These booths require 1-2 attendants to make sure the camera spinning around doesn’t hurt anyone and ensure everything is working correctly so that everyone is able to send themselves the videos. These types of booths only send video files, even in slow motion but are unable to print.
Selfie booths can take photos and videos so you have more options allowing for more variety and fun with a photo booth experience!
Consider Renting a Photo Booth for Your Next Event
It's fun! Most events are celebrations of some sort and people are taking time away from their normal routines to dress up, and mingle with friends, family, and other guests.
Party favors are great but imagine your guests are able to take their own photos in a fun way and instantly share them?
They will have something to take away from the event you put some much time and energy into and have something to remember it with.
Suggest a Hashtag
You can also suggest a hashtag they can use when posting on social media.
A few good reasons for using a photo booth rental company:
Fun pictures!
Additional awesome entertainment aside from food and music
Amazing memories and hilarious moments
Seemingly unlimited party favors and a nice free gift they can download and take away
More mingling and/or networking opportunities
Ice breaker
Greenlight to be fun and silly
Instant take-away for all who participate
How much does it cost to rent a photo booth?
Photo Booth Rentals Really Add Flair!
Images that last a lifetime. Add ons to any special day! Add the best photo booth in Baltimore to your next part!
This can truly vary depending on the type of event, the length of time and the distance the photo booth company is from the venue or location the photo booth has to be delivered.
Ultimately, renting a photo booth will have a range of $350-$2,000 and everything in between.
Typically, weddings require a bit more special attention than any other type of event and may be more expensive, while a birthday party can be a flat rate depending on the company. If you are working with a budget, let the company know, at Studio 87, we’re happy to work with you.
Rent A Photo Booth Baltimore MD
When deciding on photo booth rentals whether in Baltimore or anywhere else, here are a few more things to consider:
How many hours will you need for the photo booth?
Most events are 4 hours long. Ideally, you will want the photo booth to be on-site and ready before the beginning of the first hour and you want it to be there until the event ends.
A 3-hour rental is not ideal as the photo booth company will come by and take everything down and pack it up before your party is over.
At Studio 87 we love to provide full service.
How long is the setup time?
Normally, a photo booth setup takes under 20 minutes. You may want to be sure the photo booth company arrives on time and has everything ready before the excitement begins.
Virtual or Real Props?
To keep everyone safe and not pass around germs, real props require cleanliness and maintenance. If the photo booth does not require an attendant to clean, your attendees may just pass around props increasing the risk of germs spreading. Virtual props (props that pop up on the screen like hats, glasses, and more) may be the way to go. Having a virtual setup or a green screen won’t take away from the quality and can still create an amazing experience.
How many people are a part of the team?
While having a team is great, you have to feed everyone that attends. Be sure to ask how many people will be arriving with the photo booth.
We love to keep things professional so we provide this information up front, in most cases, 1 person will be enough. We also aid in entertaining our clients by helping with poses and providing an overall quality experience.
Real backdrops or virtual backdrops?
That's right! You have options! Don't think too hard about this one as a real backdrop can still be replaced by a virtual backdrop depending on the software the photo booth has.
At Studio 87, we provide both!
How much space does it take up?
Some photo booths are large and require more room. Will it fit? Will it match the decor? If you selected it to print, where will the printer be? Are there any additional lights required? How many other accessories need to be connected? Is it open air? Are there any outlets nearby? There are several things to think about depending on the service.

In conclusion, having an additional piece of entertainment for your guests will allow for a more interactive and fun experience at your next event hall rental.
If you don't have party games or activities your guest will arrive, mingle, eat, drink and leave. Depending on the vibes, that may be enough!
However, adding a photo booth to your next private or social event will open the possibilities and entertainment value your guests will experience.
