Glam Photo Booth Rental Atlanta: Is It Worth the Upgrade?

Most people looking at a glam photo booth rental in Atlanta are really choosing between two booths: the Glam Booth and the Printer Booth. Both print unlimited photos. Both come with a personalized design and props. Both use the same list of backdrops and add-ons. So what does the extra money buy you?

The short answer is the look. The Printer Booth makes fun party photos. The Glam Booth makes portraits.

Glam vs. Printer Booth side by side

Here's how the two compare:

• Lighting: The Glam Booth adds soft beauty lighting that flatters every face. That lighting is the main thing you're paying for.
• Finish: Glam photos come out in classic black and white. That's the signature look, though you can ask us about color too.
• Mood: Glam shots feel elegant, like a magazine page. Printer Booth shots lean playful, with props and silly faces.
• Prints: Both include unlimited prints.
• Price: The Glam Booth costs $61 to $91 more depending on hours.

If your guests are more likely to grab an inflatable guitar than fix their hair, the Printer Booth is the better deal. If people are dressed up and you want photos they'd frame, the Glam Booth earns its price.

Where the glam look fits in Atlanta

Glam works best when the room and the guests are already dressed for it.

1. Weddings. The Fox Theatre in Midtown has the grand style that black and white portraits are made for. Guests in suits and gowns under soft light come out looking like old Hollywood.
2. Galas and fundraisers. A gala at the Georgia Aquarium or the Fox Theatre gives donors a portrait worth keeping, and the print goes home with them.
3. Milestone birthdays. A 40th, 50th or 60th in Buckhead, Sandy Springs or Alpharetta is a night when people want to look their best, not wear a feather boa.
4. Brand events. Black and white portraits with a logo on the print feel more polished than a standard party photo.

Garden weddings at the Atlanta Botanical Garden suit glam too. Greenery behind the booth turns into soft gray texture in black and white, which keeps every shot focused on faces.

We also bring the Glam Booth to wedding receptions and anniversary dinners in Roswell, Johns Creek, Dunwoody and Peachtree City.

Backdrops and extras for black and white

In black and white, contrast and texture matter more than color. These add-ons work well with glam:

• Shimmery sequin backdrop: $100. Sparkle reads beautifully in black and white.
• Flower wall: $530. Adds texture and depth behind each portrait.
• 4x6 prints: $200. A bigger print that fits a frame, which suits portrait-style photos.
• Scrapbook: $240. Guests paste a print and write a note, so the portraits double as a guestbook.
• Attendant: $50 an hour. Helps guests pose and keeps the line moving at formal events.

A sample Fox Theatre wedding: Glam Booth for 5 hours ($519), shimmery backdrop ($100), 4x6 prints ($200), scrapbook ($240) and delivery ($75). That's $1,134 before tax.

Questions people ask

Can the Glam Booth print in color?

Black and white is the signature look. Ask us if you'd like color too.

Is glam a good fit for a casual backyard party?

It can be, but the Printer Booth or Digital Booth usually fits casual parties better and costs less. Glam shines when guests are dressed up.

Do guests still get props?

Yes. Props are included, though many glam guests skip them and go for a clean portrait.

Which backdrop looks best with glam portraits?

The shimmery sequin backdrop at $100 is the most popular choice. For a softer, textured look, the flower wall is $530.
