If you’ve started searching for a photo booth in Lafayette or anywhere in Louisiana, you’ve probably noticed something pretty quickly—there are a lot of options. At first glance, many photo booth companies might seem similar. They all promise fun photos, instant sharing, and memorable experiences. But when you dig deeper, the differences become clear.

At Ohh Snap! Photo Booth, we believe in transparency. We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re upfront about that. But we also believe you deserve to know exactly what sets us apart from other photo booth companies in Louisiana—so you can make the best decision for your event.

Custom Design for Every Single Event

What others offer: Many photo booth companies provide a small library of pre-made templates or themes. You select one from a catalog, and it’s applied across every event—whether it’s a wedding for 200 guests or a small birthday party.

What Ohh Snap! offers: Every single rental—regardless of size or budget—receives a custom-designed layout created by our in-house graphic design team. We don’t rely on templates. Instead, we design with intention—matching your event’s colors, tone, venue, and overall experience.

But customization goes beyond graphics.

We consider where the booth lives in the room, how lighting interacts with attire and skin tones, how guests move through the space, and how the booth should feel within the flow of the event. That level of customization comes from experience—not presets.

Why it matters: Your event is unique. Your photos should be too. True customization ensures your wedding doesn’t feel like a corporate activation, and your brand event doesn’t feel generic or disconnected.

Transparent Pricing from the Start

What others offer: Many photo booth companies require you to fill out a contact form or call for pricing. Some show starting prices but don’t reveal what’s actually included until you’re deep into the sales process.

What Ohh Snap! offers: Our pricing is clearly displayed on our website for every booth type. Our Portrait Booth packages start at $500 (Basic), $700 (PLUS), and $900 (Ultimate)—and we list exactly what’s included in each package. No surprises. No hidden fees.

Why it matters: You can budget accurately from day one. You’re not wasting time requesting quotes for services outside your price range, and you know exactly what you’re getting for your investment.

Professional Photography Equipment & Expertise

What others offer: Some photo booth operators don’t come from a photography background and rely solely on manufacturer defaults. When lighting conditions change or technical issues arise, results can be inconsistent.

What Ohh Snap! offers: Ohh Snap! was founded by Carlos and Ashley Lerma, a husband-and-wife team with professional photography and graphic design backgrounds. We use professional-grade equipment and, more importantly, understand how to use it in real-world event environments.

When challenges arise, we know how to adjust on the spot—maintaining consistent, studio-quality images throughout the night.

Why it matters: Better equipment paired with photography expertise results in better photos. Your guests aren’t just receiving “booth photos”—they’re walking away with images they’re proud to keep and share.

More Prints, More Value

What others offer: Many competitors limit prints to one or two per guest, cap the total number of prints, or charge extra for additional copies.

What Ohh Snap! offers:

• PLUS Package: Up to 400 custom prints included
• Ultimate Package: Unlimited custom prints

Why it matters: Your guests can take home multiple copies—one for themselves, one for family, one for the fridge. No one has to choose between keeping a photo or giving it away. More prints mean more memories shared.

Backdrops & Props Included in Every Package

What others offer: Some photo booth companies charge extra for backdrops or limit prop selections unless you upgrade.

What Ohh Snap! offers: Backdrops and props are included in all Portrait Booth packages—Basic, PLUS, and Ultimate. We also offer premium upgrades like 5D Flower Walls, Boxwood Hedge Walls, and high-end collaborative backdrop designs.

More importantly, we help guide the selection. The backdrop isn’t just décor—it’s the foundation of the photo. Choosing the right one depends on lighting, attire, and the overall aesthetic of your event.

Why it matters: The backdrop makes up the majority of every photo. Including it—and choosing it intentionally—means better images without surprise add-on costs.

Analytics, ROI Reporting & Complete Event Galleries

What others offer: You receive your photos after the event—usually a download link—and that’s where it ends.

What Ohh Snap! offers: We offer optional analytics reporting, including total captures, number of shares, estimated reach, and print counts—perfect for corporate events and brand activations.

Beyond that, we proudly display every event we’ve ever done since day one. Guests can retrieve their photos whether the event happened last weekend or years ago.

Why it matters: You’re not guessing—you have real data and long-term access to your memories.

Trusted by Major Brands & Featured in Industry Press

What others offer: Local reputation and word-of-mouth referrals—which are valuable and important.

What Ohh Snap! offers: We’ve partnered with Amazon, Aflac, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Tabasco, Ochsner, and more. We’ve also been featured in Style Me Pretty and trusted by planners, venues, and organizations across Louisiana.

Why it matters: Major brands require reliability, professionalism, and consistency. That same standard applies to every wedding and event we serve.

More Booth Options for Every Type of Event

What others offer: One or two booth options, often applied to every event type.

What Ohh Snap! offers:

• Portrait Booth
• Social Booth
• 360 Photo Booth
• Roaming Photo Booth
• Virtual Photo Booth

Why it matters: Different events need different solutions. We help you choose the right experience—not just the most popular one.

Service Specialization for Your Event Type

What others offer: One-size-fits-all service for every event.

What Ohh Snap! offers: Specialized experience for weddings, corporate events, schools, nonprofits, and large-scale celebrations—each with different goals and needs.

Why it matters: A prom, a wedding, and a corporate gala should never be treated the same.

Full-Time Operation with Faster Response Times

What others offer: Part-time operations or side businesses with limited availability.

What Ohh Snap! offers: Ohh Snap! is a full-time photo booth company, offering responsive communication, proper insurance, dependable staffing, and dedicated support before, during, and after your event.

Why it matters: When plans change or venues require documentation, you need a vendor who’s available and prepared—not one juggling another job.

The Bottom Line: You Get What You Pay For

We’re not the cheapest photo booth company in Lafayette—and we’re okay with that.

What you get instead:

• Custom design for every event
• Professional photography expertise
• More prints included
• Backdrops and props in every package
• Analytics and long-term galleries
• Trusted partnerships and industry recognition
• Multiple booth options
• Full-time support and proper insurance

If you’re looking for the cheapest option, we may not be the right fit. But if you’re looking for a professional, custom, and intentional photo booth experience—we’d love to work with you.

Mardi Gras season in South Louisiana doesn’t ease in—it kicks the door open. And for many of us, it officially begins with the first round of Krewe balls.

From Lake Charles to Alexandria, down to Houma, over to New Orleans and everywhere in between, Mardi Gras balls are where the season really comes alive. Whether the night leans formal and elegant or themed and playful, one thing is always true: people show up ready.

They’ve spent time picking out outfits. Coordinating looks with friends. Planning the night. And once the music starts and the dance floor fills up, the last thing anyone wants is a photo experience that feels like an afterthought.

That’s where an epic photo booth comes in.

A Photo Booth That Matches the Energy of Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras balls today are about more than tradition. They’re about getting dressed up, partying, and dancing with your people. And when that’s the case, the photo booth should feel like part of the experience—not something tucked away in a corner.

A great Mardi Gras photo booth:

• Matches the tone of the event
• Handles high energy and high volume
• Captures both posed moments and spontaneous ones
• Lets guests walk away with photos that feel just as good as the night itself

That’s exactly how we kicked off this Mardi Gras season.

Starting the Season with Some Legendary Krewes

Krewe of Rio 2026 Ball

The Krewe of Rio 2026 Ball set the bar early. This is a large, well-established Krewe that knows how to throw a party—and do it with style.

Guests arrived dressed to the nines, ready for a formal night that quickly turned into a packed dance floor. It’s the kind of event where a clean, professional photo booth setup matters, because people expect photos that actually reflect the effort they put in.

Krewe des Bon Amis XLVIII

On the more playful side, Krewe des Bon Amis XLVIII leaned fully into creativity. Hosted at Feed & Seed, this ball embraced costumes, personality, and a more intimate—but no less energetic—crowd.

These are the nights where friends show up ready to have fun, laugh, and capture moments they’ll still be talking about long after Mardi Gras is over.

From Formal Balls to Themed Nights—Photos Matter

Some Mardi Gras balls are elegant. Some are themed. Some are a mix of both. But no matter the style, people come to celebrate—and they want photos that reflect that moment in time.

From Mardi Gras balls in Lafayette, to Krewe events in Lake Charles, to celebrations in Alexandria, Houma, and across South Louisiana, a professional photo booth helps set the tone and preserve the memories that make Mardi Gras what it is.

This season is just getting started—but if the kickoff is any indication, it’s already shaping up to be a good one.

We’re glad to be part of it. If you want to learn more about our booths a part of your Mardi Gras event. Check out our dedicated Mardi Gras page.

When it comes to planning a company Christmas party that your team will actually enjoy, few things create a festive vibe like a well-designed holiday photo booth experience. It’s more than just pictures — it’s about giving your team a moment to connect, laugh, and celebrate the season together.

From school events to large festivals, every organizer has liability on their mind. Booking the cheapest option may save money up front, but it can also open the door to costly problems later if the vendor isn’t insured.

That’s why Ohh Snap! Photo Booth is always ready to provide proof of insurance when requested. Many venues, cities, and schools require this as part of their rental agreement, and we’re happy to give you the documentation you need for peace of mind.

Why Insurance Matters

• Protects your event: If something unexpected happens, you’re covered.
• Meets venue requirements: Many venues won’t allow vendors without it.
• Shows professionalism: Working with insured vendors demonstrates that your event is being handled with care.

How to Request It

When booking your photo booth, simply let us know if your venue requires an insurance certificate. We’ll provide it quickly so you can check one more thing off your planning list.

We totally understand that sometimes the booth becomes the life of the party and no one wants the fun to end. Whether it’s a packed dance floor or a long line of guests still snapping photos, we’re happy to keep the experience going if we can.

How to Request More Time

While it’s ideal to request additional time a few days before your event, we know things can change in the moment. If you’re mid-event and realize you’d like to keep the booth open longer, just let our Ohh Snap attendant know. They’ll contact our team at headquarters to:

• Confirm there’s no scheduling conflict
• Approve the extension
• Get your payment squared away on the spot

We’ll do our best to make it seamless, so the party never skips a beat.

Pro Tip: If you’re considering a longer rental window, it’s always best to mention it during the booking process so we can block off that time in advance and avoid overlaps.

While Lafayette, LA is our home base and primary service area, Ohh Snap! Photo Booth has delivered unforgettable experiences across South Louisiana and beyond—from photo booth rentals in Houston to Weddings in Mississippi.

So… What’s the Travel Fee?

Travel fees are based on a few key things:

• Event location (how far your venue is from Lafayette, LA)
• Time of the rental (especially if it’s a late-night photo booth rental)
• Additional logistics (like setup, teardown, and overnight accommodations if needed)

Because each rental is unique, the travel cost can vary. A wedding at a venue in Baton Rouge and a festival in Lake Charles with a midnight breakdown won’t have the same pricing structure. Our goal is to give you the most accurate and transparent quote possible.

The Best Way to Get an Accurate Quote?

Just fill out our Get a Quote form and tell us a little about your event! We’ll review your details and send over custom pricing—including any photo booth travel fees—based on your location and needs.

Whether you’re planning a wedding in Acadiana, a brand activation in New Orleans, or a birthday party in Houston, we’re happy to go the extra mile—literally—to make your event unforgettable.

From the suspended florals and monogrammed details to the fireworks finale and live butterflies—every inch of this day was thoughtfully curated by the talented team at Hannah Trahan Weddings. We were honored to provide a modern, custom photo booth experience that blended seamlessly into the event’s luxurious aesthetic.

…reminds us why we’re proud to be part of such a vibrant creative community.

When it comes to event entertainment and guest engagement, the way you capture memories matters just as much as the moments themselves. Two popular options have emerged in recent years: the futuristic SelfieBot (a mobile, robotic photo booth) and the more personal and professional Roaming Photography experience.

Both offer unique benefits, but they serve different types of events—and very different guest expectations. So, which is right for you?

🤖 What Is a SelfieBot?

The SelfieBot is a motorized, autonomous robot that glides through your event space, prompting guests to take photos or GIFs. It’s tech-forward, eye-catching, and often gets guests’ attention simply by rolling by. The novelty factor alone is enough to spark some interest, especially at corporate activations or tech-themed events.

Pros:

• Novel and attention-grabbing
• Can roam without an operator
• Great for casual, high-traffic events

Limitations:

• Lighting is fixed and may not be ideal in all environments
• Limited personalization and framing
• Often lacks high-quality imagery
• No human interaction to guide guests or troubleshoot
• May be awkward or intrusive in more formal or intimate settings

📸 What Is Roaming Photography?

Roaming Photography brings a professional event photographer directly into the crowd. Unlike a static booth or a rolling robot, your guests get to interact with a friendly photographer who’s trained to capture flattering, spontaneous, and high-quality photos.

Best of all, guests can instantly receive their images via text or email, complete with custom branding, overlays, and optional printouts.

Why Clients Love It:

• Real human interaction encourages natural smiles and authentic moments
• High-quality, professionally lit images
• Guests feel valued and seen—not just scanned by a robot
• Instant delivery via branded microsite
• Optional live gallery, analytics, and data capture
• Can be paired with print stations or used as digital-only

Looking for more than just photos? Roaming Photography can also be a powerful brand engagement tool. Add your logo, collect lead data, or use custom messaging to turn each photo into a shareable piece of marketing content.

What About a Social Booth?

If you’re not looking for roaming interaction but still want a fun, sleek, and shareable experience, a Social Booth might be the perfect fit. Unlike a SelfieBot that rolls around the venue, the Social Booth is a stationary, self-serve setup that offers guests a clean, focused place to create and share their content—without sacrificing quality or style.

Why Choose a Social Booth?

• Customizable Setup: From backdrops to booth wraps and screen visuals, your Social Booth can be fully branded and styled to match your event theme.
• Flexible Placement: Set it up where the action is, or use it to create a photo-friendly lounge area your guests will naturally gravitate toward.
• User-Friendly: No chasing down a bot—guests know exactly where to go to snap their photo, GIF, Boomerang, or short video.
• Adjustable Lighting: Unlike many mobile bots, our Social Booth uses adjustable lighting for consistently flattering shots in all kinds of spaces.
• Optional Props & Seating: Add a bench, throne, or set piece to create an intentional, elevated photo op moment.

While it doesn’t come with a human attendant like Roaming Photography, the Social Booth is perfect for events where you want plug-and-play simplicity without compromising on branding, guest experience, or photo quality.

Which One Should You Choose?

While the SelfieBot certainly adds a cool tech-forward twist to events, the novelty can wear off quickly—especially when guests are craving meaningful moments, flattering photos, or personalized experiences.

At Ohh Snap!, we believe in creating real human connections through thoughtful photo experiences. Whether that’s through our professional Roaming Photography, an elegant Social Booth, or another one of our interactive setups, we’re here to make your event unforgettable.

Starting a photo booth business might sound exciting—being part of celebrations, creating memorable experiences, and potentially working for yourself. But let’s be honest: starting a business is not for the faint of heart. It’s a journey filled with highs and lows, unexpected challenges, and countless hours of dedication. While the reward of running your own business can be fulfilling, the path to get there is rarely as simple as it seems.

From managing start-up costs to understanding marketing strategies, building relationships with clients, and maintaining equipment, owning a photo booth business means wearing multiple hats. It’s a grind that demands time, energy, and resilience to push through the hard days. If you’re not fully prepared for the challenges of starting something from scratch, you might find yourself overwhelmed and questioning if the struggle is worth it.

Why Start From Scratch When You Can Join an Established Brand?

Here’s a question to consider: would you rather struggle to create a business from scratch or align yourself with an established company that’s already laid the groundwork for success?

If the latter sounds more appealing, we’ve got great news for you. At Ohh Snap! Photo Booth, we’re looking for individuals who share our passion for creating unforgettable event experiences to partner with us. Whether you want to become an ambassador, a sales rep, or even lease our equipment to extend our company into new markets, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Joining forces with an existing brand like ours gives you the chance to skip many of the growing pains that come with starting from square one. With established processes, a proven track record, and resources at your disposal, you can focus on what matters most—creating amazing experiences for your clients and growing your business.

How We Can Work Together

At Ohh Snap!, we offer opportunities that let you be part of something bigger:

• Ambassador Program: Represent our brand in your community and help connect us with potential clients.
• Sales Representatives: Leverage our resources and network to drive sales and earn commissions.
• Equipment Leasing: Use our state-of-the-art booths to start offering services in your area without the upfront cost of purchasing equipment.

Not Ready to Partner?

No problem.

For individuals serious about building a photo booth business the right way, we offer limited consulting and educational services rooted in real-world experience. Rather than giving away tools that take years to refine, we provide guided insight through paid resources and professional support.

Let’s Make It Happen

If you’re ready to explore a partnership that eliminates the struggles of starting from scratch, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can create unforgettable memories for clients while growing our presence in new markets.

Contact us today to learn more about how you can join the Ohh Snap! Photo Booth family. Let’s make your dream of working in the photo booth industry a reality—without the headaches of building it alone.
