Here are some tips that will help you in selecting a good quality photo booth to hire.

Once you’ve hired a photo booth on your wedding day or any event, it’s difficult to look for a replacement if things don’t turn out the way you want it to be. So, it’s important to do a background check on the photo booth company to know if they are reliable in serving your guests.
Look for a photo booth company who has a good reputation.
You can check the reputation of a photo booth company by visiting reputable photo event directories like EventWire.com. If the company isn’t reviewed or listed on these websites, you have to ask them why. If you can’t see any advertisement by the photo booth company, there is a possibility that they have a bad reputation or they don’t have enough money to invest in their business. There are some instances where people who hired a photo booth got dismayed because the company went out of business a few days before their special event.
Ask the photo booth company if they have done many events.
There are many companies out there who are just starting out in their business, so it’s better to know if they have acquired enough experience to work on your event. Ask them to provide a portfolio that shows their previous works.
Ask if their photo booth can be customized according to your preference.
Some companies provide customized print graphics while others only offer a simple photo with the date and name at the bottom of the picture. There are also photo booth companies which provide different colored backgrounds while others only offer a simple black background.
Will their photos last?
When hiring a photo booth for parties or any special occasion, it is important to know the type of equipment they are using. Most companies will try to make you believe that they provide good quality pictures because they have big mega-pixel cameras, but it’s not the only thing that matters. A good photo booth should have proper lighting and the printer must have a fine DPI or dots per inch. There are some companies who use low-quality printers, resulting in low-quality photos. Most of these photos tend to smear or fade quickly, so it’s important to get a sample picture. You can also ask the time it takes to print the pictures from the photo booth.
Know how much it costs.
Check the price of the photo booth and know what services are included. A good photo booth should match the quality of their service and the price you are paying for. Ask the photo booth company if there is a travel fee or any other fees. You also need to know how long the rental period will be.
