Photo Booth Types & Styles
"Photo booth rental" covers a dozen very different machines. A 360 booth spins a camera around your guests for a slow-motion social clip; a glam booth shoots flattering black-and-white portraits; a selfie station is a tablet guests run themselves for a fraction of the price. The style you pick changes the look, the footprint, and the cost — so browse companies by the booth you actually want. Each style below links to the companies that offer it nationwide, with a map, reviews, and state-by-state lists. New to this? Start with the guide to every photo booth type or the cost guide.

Plan by booth style
A few pointers before you compare quotes:
- Want the social moment? A 360 booth or slow-motion booth is built for shareable video — these sit at the higher end of the price range.
- Want prints and props for a crowd? An open-air booth photographs big groups and is one of the more budget-friendly full-service picks.
- Tight budget or small space? A selfie station is self-serve and the most affordable style here.
- Upscale look? A glam booth or mirror booth reads premium for weddings and galas.
