How Much Does a Wedding Photo Booth Cost?

A professionally run wedding photo booth typically costs $400 to $1,200 depending on booth type, hours, and prints. Our Lafayette wedding packages start at $500 for a 3 hour portrait booth with an attendant, custom print layout, and backdrops, and top out at $900 for unlimited prints or the 360 video booth.

We’ve run booths at hundreds of Louisiana weddings, so rather than a vague range, here’s how the budget actually breaks down.

What each wedding booth costs

• Portrait booth: $500 Basic, $700 Plus (up to 400 prints), $900 Ultimate (unlimited prints). The classic wedding choice: studio lighting, instant prints, custom layout, attendant.
• Glam booth: $500 to $900. The black and white magazine look, same package structure.
• 360 booth: $900 for 3 hours, attendant operated, with a custom video overlay.
• Social booth: from $350. Digital only, which is why it’s the budget option, though most couples want prints at a wedding.

Every package includes delivery, setup, and teardown. Our complete photo booth cost guide covers pricing for every booth and the variables behind it.

Where couples over- and under-spend

After hundreds of receptions, two patterns repeat.

Overspending: booking more hours than the reception can use. A booth running through dinner is a booth you paid for while everyone was seated. Three hours placed correctly beats five hours placed lazily; our guide on how long to rent a wedding photo booth breaks this down by guest count.

Underspending: cutting prints to save $150. The print is the whole wedding trick. Guests pin them to the memory board, stick them on refrigerators, and keep them in wallets. A digital-only booth at a wedding saves money and loses the keepsake; we walk through that trade in digital vs print for weddings.

Per-guest math

Couples find this framing useful: a $700 booth at a 150 guest wedding is under $5 per guest for entertainment plus a take-home favor plus a gallery of candids you didn’t have to chase. Compare that with what the average favor costs and gets left on the table.

What changes the quote

• Date. Peak Saturdays in spring and fall book out first; the price doesn’t change but the availability does.
• Travel beyond the Lafayette area, explained here.
• Custom extras: printed backdrops you keep, custom props, booth wraps.
• Day-of extensions,which we can usually add if the party demands it.
