Eco-friendly Photo Booth Idea for Dinner & Dance

Instant Photo Booth in the past have always been based on instant photo printing which can generate up to 1500 paper prints for a 4 hour dinner event. Our team have been actively looking for more sustainable alternatives, and the latest addition is our Instant QR Photo Booth.

How the new Instant QR Photo Booth differentiates from the Email Photo Booth that existed for a long time is the focus on ease of use and privacy.

Your guests no longer have to enter their email, there is no data collection.

All is takes is a scan of the QR code, which is available near instantly after a photo is taken. QR code scanning is available as a standard on virtually all modern smartphones.

What sets our Instant QR Photo Booth apart is the focus on speed. While some Digital Photo Booth uses 1 screen for the photo taking, email and QR code, we use a separate tablet device for viewing and downloading images. Allowing the photographer to engage the next group of guests while the existing group is downloading their images.
