This booth does not come with an attendant, but assistance is available if needed. Stephanie (the owner) will setup at the agreed upon time, and pick up the booth at the end of the rental or agreed upon time. Ideally setup would happen prior to guests arrival, but we would finalize this later based off the booth location and where events are taking place that evening.

Think of it kind of like self-checkout or pumping gas, but easier. Someone is still available if help is needed, but people know to do it - it's very intuitive and the screen tells you what to do (tap start, take 3 or 4 photos, tap print, done).

All booth rentals are within the Pittsburgh area, so in the exceedingly rare instance something is needed, Stephanie is a text message away and usually within 10 minutes away. There is a small sign with the booth with her contact information. For self-serve booths, the printer is always loaded with a new roll of prints and it is very unusual to go through a whole roll at a reception.

1.Send an inquiry and I'll let you know if the booth is available. If it is, I'll send the package/pricing information.

You'll need to have a venue and date finalized prior to booking.

2. If everything looks good, reply to our email and let me know you want to lock in your date. I'll send you a contract - this will reserve your date. No deposit is required.

3. For the booth prep, 10 weeks prior to the wedding I'll send you a Booth Prep Questionnaire to get the booth ready for the reception.

This will have questions such as:

- print design thoughts

- general day of timeline

- backdrop selection

- how many hours you want the booth to run

- where the booth will be located

For the custom print design, we want the those to match your wedding style and they'll be black and white. We always like to make a couple designs to compliment your wedding invitations, too. If you are using a monogram or specific fonts throughout the signage, we'd love to incorporate that in to the print design! Send us the files if you have them.

​

4. I'll send the invoice after the questionnaire if filled out. This will be due any time prior to the wedding day. I'll also send a booth recap so we can make any updates and wrap up any loose ends.

No, we can finalize that later. In fact, all the details will be worked on later, at this point you just have to decided which booth style you want when booking (the Glam Booth, Classic Booth, or Lux Lite). The contract is just to reserve the date. A screenshot of the pricing/package will be attached to the contract for reference but how many hours you'd like or which backdrop will be finalized later.

I'll send a Booth Prep Questionnaire at least 10 weeks prior to the wedding. At that time I'll gather the information I need to prep the booth - which includes how many hours you'd like the booth to run, the backdrop selection, print design thoughts, general timeline, booth placement, etc.).

Setup for the Self-Serve Glam Booth must happen prior to guest arrival. Due to logistics on wedding days, setup can not happen mid-event (such as after cocktail hour or during a room flip).

Some venue example:

Wintergarden: Sometimes at the Wintergarden the ceremony is in the front half of the venue near the bar and the booth is to be setup near the doors (we will have sent photos of our setup here for reference), we'll still need to setup mid-afternoon before everything takes place.

Fairmont: If your ceremony is at the venue, then there is a room-flip in the ballroom during cocktail hour, we'll need to have the booth setup in the cocktail space (this is very typical and it stays busy out there the full reception).

EIC: Consider having the booth to the right of the BrightSpace doors in the Roadway area. Or we can have the booth closer to the elevators in the Roadway area. If you'd like to have the booth setup in the BrightSpace, we'll need to have it setup and ready to go even if the ceremony is there (most likely setup on the right side of the room towards the kitchen doors).

Our photo booths are made to look gorgeous in your venue, so be assured that even though we setup early or in a ceremony space. Plus it gets more eyes on it from your guests, so they're going to be hunting it down when the party starts!

Take-down happens at the end of the scheduled time, or within the timeframe the venue requires us to be finished.

Let's say four people come through together, they can print four photos. Guests can come through as much as they'd like - we encourage it!

We do put a printing max on each session depending on the print size you elect -- if you elect 2x6 prints, the max is 10 prints per session

-- if you elect 4x6 prints, the max is 5 prints per session.

This is often more than enough for most groups. Most groups some in either as a couple or four to five people. Digital downloads are always available for guest, and they can come through as many times as they'd like so ultimately everyone is getting a few prints throughout the night. There's a small QR code sign on the printer that people love to scan to access all the digitals for free. Texting is also available for guests after each session. So even though the printing is capped, there are plenty of ways for guests to keep and access their photos.

After a group takes their photos, they hit the print button and select the number of prints . And repeat! 🎉

Yes, the Glam Booth is a modern but timeliness aesthetic, and is black + white only.

The Classic Booth (color photos), has the same booth shell, but uses different software and camera setting inside the booth.

Some great spots are near the cookie/dessert table, near entry/exit doors, and somewhere near the restrooms or bar. These are all high traffic areas. We don't want to be too out of the way, but don't think guests won't find us - they do! 😊

You'll have two ways to access your photos:

1. Within 72 hours after the wedding we'll email you a folder of gently retouched digital images. I use WeTransfer.com to send files and that file is easily downloaded to your computer. Use them as you wish! Every photo take from the booth will be included in this file and they are not watermarked.

2. Both you and your guests have access to the online gallery for free downloads. Some photos may be omitted (out of respect to your guests that may have taken a photo they probably wouldn't want shared). We do not watermark our photos.

Adult guests can come through as much as they'd like! The more photos, the better!

We do ask that all children be accompanied by an adult for their supervision around the photography equipment and if they need assistance, but they are welcomed little guests.

- The booth needs access to a three prong outlet (the booth has been to most venues in the Pittsburgh area, and this hasn't been an issue).

- The booth can not be outside (this include patios, tents, porches, etc. - this is to protect the booth from direct sunlight and weather).

- The footprint of the full set up is about 8ft x 8ft x 8ft.

- This is so important - all backdrop supplied by Lux must be placed along a solid wall. The backdrops don't attach to the wall, but it makes a support system as many guests tend to walk backwards into the backdrops - this this will stop the backdrop from repeatedly getting pushed back.

-Payment is due any time prior to the wedding. The invoice will be sent after the Booth Prep Questionnaire is filled out (this is sent 10 weeks prior to the wedding).

-No deposit is required to book, either. We just need a signed contract to lock in your date.

-The invoice will be sent through PayPal, they keep your payment information private and no account is required if you don't have one. We can also do Venmo, Square, or check.

-6% Sales Tax is added to the invoice per PA state law

Everyone has access to the online gallery.

There are a couple ways they find the gallery:

1. There is a small QR code sign on the printer that says 'download your photos'.

2. There is a small, unobtrusive line that will be on the prints which direct guests where to download their photos. Though on their physical prints, this line is edited out prior to posting them to the gallery.

This is the link they'll go to:

www.luxphotobooth.com/gallery

Please check it out so you can see what your guests will see and have access to.

-This gallery includes a digital copy of the print they received at the reception, and a 4x6 digital of each photo on that print.

-Downloading is free.

-Most often your gallery will be accessible to guests by noon the next day.

-Some photos may be omitted if we think 'Aunt Carol' may not like that photo of her making that face she made.

Intentional gestures will stay in the gallery unless we hear otherwise or we find beyond crude.

Nudity will be omitted, as well.

-If you prefer to not have an online gallery, please let me know. Most guests do like to see the photos from the reception and ask me where they can find them online, so I do encourage you to have one. I can make then password protected if you prefer.

Yes! Let's say the booth would be open cocktail hour, then two hours after dinner. That works great!

Please note, the booth can not be moved once set up. But don't let that deter you from breaking up the time. Trust me, guests will seek the booth out 😉 Some DJs discourage the booth from being in a different room, but it's really okay if it is. They'll still go back to the dance floor.

There are two photo box options.

1. Our basic box. This is a great option if you'd like a copy of every photo from the evening. The box is 5x7, black, and mailed after the reception

2. Glass & Gold Box. This box is a gorgeous option for coffee table or book shelf display. A copy of every photo will be put in the box that evening. This is also mailed after the reception.
