Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I charge for a photo booth at a wedding?

Wedding photo booth pricing typically ranges from $600-$1,200 for a 3-4 hour package. Mirror and 360 booths command premium rates ($200-$250/hr) while open-air booths run $125-$175/hr. Most wedding packages include props, custom overlays, and unlimited prints. Adding a scrapbook attendant adds $50-$100. Always charge a travel fee for events beyond 25 miles.

What is a good profit margin for a photo booth business?

Healthy photo booth businesses maintain 50-70% profit margins per event. Your biggest costs are labor (attendant wages + setup time), supplies (ink, paper, props), and travel. The initial equipment investment is separate and should be tracked as depreciation. If your margins drop below 40%, your pricing is too low or your costs are too high.

Should I charge separately for travel?

Yes. Most photo booth operators include travel up to 25 miles and charge $1-$2 per mile beyond that. Long-distance events (50+ miles) should also factor in attendant drive time, not just mileage. Some operators charge a flat delivery fee for different distance tiers instead of per-mile. Either way, make the travel fee clear in your quote so there are no surprises.
