What comes to mind when you think of a photo booth? For most, it is limited to the standard photo booth set up. You see these at plenty of events. From weddings to corporate events, photo booths have become a staple. But there are now so many options when it comes to choosing the right photo booth. So which one is right for your next event?

The Orbit 360

Looking for a truly unique and innovative photo booth experience at your next event? The Orbit 360 is an excellent choice if you want your photo booth to stand out. The static photo booth camera can be boring. Only having the singular backdrop makes every picture feel the same. By moving the camera around the participants, they can show off their style in a video format. It is also a great way to have your event be the backdrop of the photo. This will both promote your event and give the guests a way to say “Look! I was there!” 

The VIP Badge

People who think in function over form might have a hard time getting on board with a photo booth. The VIP Badge photo booth is an option for those looking for a dual purpose photo booth. It is a fun twist on getting an ID card since guests can show off their creative side. 

Even if you are not a person who thinks in this way, it can still be a unique spin on an otherwise boring experience. ID cards can be impersonal. The “Hi! My name is…” sticker doesn’t help guests feel as warmly invited as a VIP photo might. It is also a keepsake for after the event. Other name badges are thrown away or forgotten about after the event. Using the VIP Badge Photo Booth will help your event be memorable.

The Wall Mosaic

If you want something unique and artistic, look no further. The Wall Mosaic photo booth is not your average photo booth experience. It is an interactive art experience where guests are the brush strokes. The Wall Mosaic uses the pictures taken by your guests to create a larger portrait that everyone is a part of. This will give your guests a good incentive to take their pictures. They will want to solve the puzzle of what the big picture could be. After the event, you have a reminder of the event and a mural of all your guests. 

The Pop Up Studio

Are you worried about spacing out an area for a photo booth? Is portability and setup a concern of yours? The Pop Up Studio photo booth is the option for you. It takes up less time to prepare and set up. It is efficient while also still being high quality. It can be for more casual affairs, but it can still be used for formal events. It is versatile and adaptable to whatever event you may need it for. If you are looking for a straightforward and quick use photo booth, the Pop Up Studio is right for you!

Pride In Our Work

Why We Do What We Do


Photography has always meant something to us. It’s where we got our start, after all. Being able to capture and preserve a moment or memory isn’t something you can get with anything else.  

As everything becomes more and more digital, photography (and by extension, photo booths) have to keep up with the times. That’s why we always try and stay as up-to-date and modern as we can with our photo booths.

Many people decide against booking a photo booth because they think they’re outdated or tacky. Granted, some still are. If we’re talking about some dusty curtain booth shoved in a corner with no attendant, then yes, we agree. They are tacky. But the booths we provide at PBPC are always cutting-edge and top-of-the-line. You won’t find any tacky booths in our repertoire.
