THE BOOTH
WALTHAM PHOTO BOOTH / GREATER BOSTONOpen-Air Photo Booth Rental: Everything Included
Our open air photo booth rental brings the camera setup, backdrop, props, prints and people to run it. Waltham Photo Booth in Waltham, MA, offers one attended, open-air experience, with packages starting at $600.
Guests take photos during the booked hours, collect prints at the event and leave you a guest book to revisit. Original photos follow by Google Drive within three days.
How Our Open Air Photo Booth Rental Works
An open-air photo booth places the camera in front of a backdrop, with guests posing in the open rather than inside a cabin. Friends can gather for photos, and other guests can see the activity and decide to join in.
Our two attendants help with the experience throughout the rental. It works as an event activity and gives guests a printed keepsake to take home.
Open-Air vs. Enclosed Photo Booth
| Planning detail | Open-air booth | Enclosed booth |
|---|---|---|
| Group photos | Guests pose together in front of a backdrop. | The cabin limits the posing area. |
| Space | Needs room for the setup, backdrop and guests. | Needs room for the cabin and guest access. |
| Activity | Other guests can watch and join the fun. | Photos happen inside the enclosure. |
We offer the open-air setup. Confirm the available space and your group-photo plans with us before booking.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between an open-air and an enclosed photo booth?
An open-air booth has guests pose in front of a backdrop, while an enclosed booth places them inside a cabin. The open setup lets other guests see the activity and join in. We offer an attended open-air booth; ask us to confirm placement for your venue and the group photos you have in mind.
How many people fit in one photo?
Please ask us about the group size you have in mind rather than relying on a fixed capacity. The available posing area, backdrop and room layout all matter. Send your venue details and tell us whether you want couples, family groups or larger friend groups photographed so we can discuss a suitable setup.
What size are the prints?
The prints are 4×6 inches. Unlimited on-site prints and a custom photo design are included in every rental, along with physical frames and keepsake photo folders. If you are planning an album or a display, tell us what you have in mind and ask us to confirm the included frame and folder quantities.
Can the booth be used outdoors?
Yes, we offer the booth for outdoor events. The setup still needs an electrical outlet, and the conditions for your location must be discussed before booking. Send the date, proposed area, access details and any covered or indoor alternative so we can confirm the weather, cover and placement requirements for your event.
Is a 'selfie booth' the same thing?
People sometimes use selfie booth or selfie station as another name for an open-air photo setup. Our rental is attended: two attendants stay throughout the event, and on-site prints are included. When comparing options, check the actual included features and rental hours so the name alone does not determine your choice.
