Should you hire a photo booth or roaming photographer for your event?

photo booth at an event vs a professional event photographer

Traditional photo booths come with one big drawback: they are stationary. What if they could go to guests, instead of waiting for them to engage? 


Roaming photography is the go-to service if you’re looking for a consistent photo op experience, paired with digital sharing! It’s perfect for your guests as they can get photos from the party instantly instead of waiting weeks for them to be shared or posted. Our professional photographers will make sure to capture all the little moments that want to relive over and over!


With the roaming photography service, our professional photographer will go out and engage your guests, capturing their photos. You will be amazed at how many people we can capture - whether they are chatting at a table or having fun on the dance floor.


Instant sharing during the event will boost your brand's online exposure. When you hire a traditional event photographer, it can take a few days to receive the images back, and people are less likely to share images after the event. Our approach is different! It's all about immediate gratification for your guests, and we can meet that demand! Together with instant sharing, we can help you collect emails to grow your mailing list or create a post-event email with a specific call to action.


Our roaming Event Photographers are often asked by guests how they can access the photos captured. We can share photos instantly with guests using the latest iPads attached to our cameras. Using bespoke software, we can add information about your event to the photos such as your brand logo and message.

During the event, we have professional photographers roaming around and taking photos. Guests receive the photos instantly on their smartphones via text message or email so they can share them immediately! Guests can also pick up a printed photo via our print station. Check out our on-site photo printing option if you wish to give your guests a lasting souvenir from your event.


As a result, your guests will be able to share beautiful, professional images with their friends straight away. This creates an instant buzz for your event as we can include hashtags, calls to action, and links to your website in the message we send.
