With A Photobooth Fairfax County VA Hosts Can Create Memorable Events

By Timothy Foster


Older people fondly remember the days when one could take a passport picture in a special little booth that could be found in just about every shopping mall. Teenagers used to cram themselves into such booths to take pictures. Sadly, these booths disappeared with the advent of digital photography and cellular phones. But now they are back, and they are popular. When hiring a photobooth Fairfax County VA hosts try to add some fun and laughter to their functions.

About the only thing that the modern versions and their dated cousins have in common is that their purpose is to take photographs. Modern kiosks are not found in shopping malls. They are hired by party planners to liven up events and to introduce an element of fun. People love having their picture taken and it is not surprising that these booths have become extremely popular with event planners.

In the past, these booths were uniformly small rectangular spaces enclosed with curtains. One entered, sat down and pushed a button for taking the picture. Then one waited for the film to develop. No longer is this the case. They are now available in fantastic shapes, all possible colours and in various sizes. They are designed to resemble fantasy figures, buildings, ships and cars, to name just a few. Event planners can therefore choose a model that will fit in with their theme perfectly.

There are other, significant differences between older and new booth models. The latest models use only the very best digital photographic technology. There is no waiting time to see the results and users can even enhance their pictures by adding frames and captions. If one is not happy with a picture, it can be deleted and another taken. There is no limit to the number of pictures that can be taken.

Surprisingly, renting a photo booth is not all that expensive. The contractor will do the delivery and installation as part of the price. When one think about the cost of other forms of entertainment and the total cost of hosting a major event, the cost of hiring a photo booth is truly minimal. They add value to any function because they provide a way in which to break the ice and to encourage guests to relax.

As an added incentive, many contractors also supply their clients with a variety of props, normally in line with the theme of the event. People simply love donning costumes, wigs, accessories and other props to liven up the event and to have even more fun. Some event organizers even offer prizes for the funniest, most original or most bizarre photographs.

There are many reasons why photo booths are so popular. They are versatile and can easily be used at any occasion, from formal balls to birthday parties for small children. They are easy to use and it is not necessary to teach guests how to use them. Many hosts find them invaluable in helping to break the ice when most of the guests do not know each other.

Despite critics that say that these booths are just a fad, they keep growing in popularity. They also keep developing new models and new technology is introduced all the time. Video, for example, is already available in some models.
