Notes from the booth

Vintage Booth runs film and film-emulation photo booths at weddings, brand launches, and parties across Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. This is where we write down what we learn along the way: how to choose between the open-air Instant Booth and the enclosed booth, what makes a print worth keeping, how to fit the booth into your event timeline, and which venues around the District photograph best.

Expect practical advice first and opinions second, with real prints from real events whenever we can share them. New posts land a few times a month. If you have a question we have not covered yet, send it our way and it may turn into the next one.

A few topics on the list: what a photo booth rental actually costs in the DMV and what drives the price, how many hours to book for a wedding versus a corporate party, where to place the booth so the line helps the room instead of blocking it, and how instant film compares to our film emulation once the prints are in hand. If you are planning an event right now, the packages page has the details and the contact page gets you a reply within a day.
