Photo booths have come a long way from the strip of four tiny pictures. Today you can choose between very different experiences, and each one suits a different kind of event. Here’s a quick, honest comparison of the three most popular options.
The Glam Booth
What it is: A studio-lit portrait booth that produces soft, flattering black-and-white photos, the kind of look you’d expect from a fashion shoot.
Best for: Elegant weddings, galas, milestone birthdays and any crowd that will be dressed up.
Why people love it: Guests actually look great, so they keep the prints and post them. It feels elevated rather than goofy.

The 360 Video Booth
What it is: Guests stand on a small platform while a camera arm sweeps around them, recording a short slow-motion video with music.
Best for: Parties with high energy, brand activations, proms and receptions where guests love posting video.
Why people love it: It’s a show. A crowd forms around it, and the clips are made for Instagram and TikTok.

The Social Station
What it is: A digital booth for photos, GIFs and boomerangs, with digital props and instant sharing to phones by text or QR code.
Best for: Corporate events, fundraisers, casual parties and anyone who wants fast sharing and branding.
Why people love it: No waiting. Photos land on phones in seconds, and a logo or event hashtag goes everywhere they’re shared.

A quick way to decide
- Formal and timeless? Go Glam.
- Loud, fun and social-media heavy? Go 360.
- Branded or budget-conscious with lots of sharing? Go Social Station.
Big events sometimes book two, such as a Glam Booth for portraits and a 360 for the dance floor. You can compare all of them on our Experiences page, or tell us about your event and we’ll suggest a fit.
