Planning an event? Find answers to our most frequently asked questions about Aesthetic Photo Booth's Melbourne photo booth hire, including our Modern White and Vintage Studio Photo Booths, packages, prints, custom designs, setup requirements, digital galleries and event logistics.
Aesthetic Photo Booth offers premium open-air photo booth hire across Melbourne and surrounding areas, including our Modern White Photo Booth and Vintage Studio Photo Booth.
Both experiences use professional DSLR cameras and studio lighting to create crisp, flattering photographs, with instant printing, customised photo designs and professional booth attendants.
Our Modern White Photo Booth offers a clean, contemporary aesthetic, while our Vintage Studio Photo Booth combines a warm wooden design with beauty dish lighting for a more directional, editorial-style portrait.
We also offer additional experiences and add-ons for weddings, celebrations and corporate events.
The difference goes beyond the appearance of the booths.
Both our Modern White and Vintage Studio Photo Booths use professional DSLR cameras and professional studio lighting, so both are designed to produce high-quality photographs.
The Modern White Photo Booth has a clean, contemporary design with bright, flattering studio lighting, making it beautifully suited to modern, minimal and timeless events.
The Vintage Studio Photo Booth features a warm wooden design and beauty dish lighting, creating a more directional and sculpted style of portrait lighting with an editorial feel. Colour, Black & White and Vintage filters are also included with the Vintage Studio experience.
Neither booth is simply "better" than the other. The right choice depends on your event styling and the photographic look you prefer.
Our Modern White and Vintage Studio Photo Booths are both open-air photo booth experiences.
Rather than stepping inside an enclosed booth, guests stand in front of the camera and backdrop. This creates a more spacious experience and makes it much easier to photograph couples, families and larger groups.
It also allows the photo booth setup to become part of your event styling through your choice of backdrop, florals and personalised details.
Both our Modern and Vintage Photo Booths are open-air, making them suitable for everything from couple portraits to larger group photographs.
The number of guests who can comfortably fit in each photo depends on the available space and the photo template and crop selected. Some tighter or square layouts are best suited to approximately six to eight guests, while our wider layouts can accommodate considerably larger groups. We've even had groups of around 20 ambitious guests squeeze into a single photo!
If large family or friendship-group photos are important to you, we'll help you choose a layout with a wider crop.
Our photo booth packages are designed to provide a complete, professionally managed experience.
All photo booth packages include professional DSLR photography and studio lighting, instant photo printing, customised print designs, a premium backdrop, GIFs and Boomerangs, digital sharing, an online gallery, setup and pack-down, and professional photo booth attendants throughout your event.
Inclusions vary between packages, so we recommend viewing the individual experience or package for complete details.
Absolutely!
Your photo booth print design can be customised to complement your wedding or event styling, including your colour palette, stationery, fonts, signage, invitations, florals or brand identity.
During the design process, you're welcome to send us your wedding stationery, mood board or other inspiration. We'll use this to create a photo template that feels cohesive with the rest of your event.
For corporate events, print designs and selected digital elements can also be customised around your company or campaign branding.
We require a minimum clear space of approximately 2.4 m wide × 2.4 m deep × 2.4 m high, with access to a standard 240V power outlet within approximately five metres of the booth location.
Having sufficient space allows us to safely position the booth, backdrop, lighting and printing equipment while leaving enough room for guests to comfortably use the experience.
Our team generally arrives approximately 1–1.5 hours before your scheduled photo booth start time to complete bump-in and setup.
This setup period is separate from your booked photo booth hire time.
Events featuring our Draped Curtain Backdrop generally require approximately two hours of setup time.
We coordinate venue access requirements with you before the event so everything is ready for your scheduled start time.
Yes. If your venue requires suppliers to complete setup earlier than our normal bump-in period, an earlier setup can usually be arranged.
Where the booth needs to remain fully set up and unused for an extended period before the agreed hire time, an idle-time fee may apply.
This does not include our normal setup period.
Yes. A trained Aesthetic Photo Booth attendant supervises the photo booth throughout operation.
Depending on the event and experience selected, up to two attendants may be present.
Our attendants provide technical support, help guests use the booth, monitor framing and lighting, assist with printing and make sure the experience runs smoothly throughout your event.
Aesthetic Photo Booth is based in Melbourne, Victoria, and services weddings, celebrations and corporate events throughout Melbourne and surrounding areas.
Complimentary travel is included within 25 km of our St Albans studio. For venues outside this area, a travel surcharge of $4 per kilometre one way applies.
We also regularly travel to regional and coastal Victorian venues, so you're welcome to enquire if your event is outside metropolitan Melbourne.
We can accommodate many venues with stair access; however, transporting our professional photo booth, lighting and printing equipment upstairs requires additional handling.
Where an event is held upstairs and no lift or suitable ramp access is available, a $50 no-lift access fee applies.
Please let us know when enquiring so we can plan sufficient bump-in time.
Your digital still photographs, print files, GIFs and Boomerangs are generally uploaded to your online gallery within 24 business hours after your event.
Audio and Video Guest Book galleries are generally available within 72 business hours.
Absolutely, please let us know and a secure password will be set up and sent to you with your gallery link.
Yes, subject to suitable conditions and prior approval.
Outdoor photo booths must be positioned on a level, concrete-like surface and completely protected from weather conditions.
Natural light can also change significantly throughout an outdoor event, so placement is important for maintaining consistent photographs. Where possible, we recommend positioning the booth away from direct sunlight.
If weather or safety conditions become unsuitable, service may need to be suspended or ceased to protect guests and equipment.
