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.

The fact that the purpose of both the older and modern versions of these photo booths to take pictures is the only thing that they have in common. For one thing, modern kiosks are not installed in shopping malls. Instead, they are offered for hire during functions and parties. Their purpose is to add fun and novelty to any event. People simply love them and their popularity increases all the time.

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.

Old style booths required one to wait a few minutes while the film is developed. If the result is undesirable it was just too bad. Modern models use the very latest digital technology. The pictures are of extremely high quality and they are, of course, available instantly. One can take as many pictures as one wants. The resulting pictures can be printed but they are also available in digital format.

It is surprisingly inexpensive to hire a photo booth, especially it one consider the cost of other entertainment options. The contractor will deliver the device and install it. The client does not have to do a thing. Event planners have learned that these booths add something special to almost any event and that the cost of hiring them is truly negligible when thinking of the total cost of such events.

A photo booth on its own normally provides great entertainment, but contractors usually also supply a selection of props, normally in line with the theme of the function. This just adds to the fun. Guests like to don costumes, wear ridiculous make up and try on wigs and other accessories to see who can create the most ridiculous, bizarre or funniest photographs.

The popularity of photo booths can be ascribed to the fact that they are not only affordable, but that they also truly add an element of fun and games to an event. They are suitable for use by people of all ages and at every possible occasion, ranging from black tie events to birthday parties to charity events and to parties for kiddies. They are ridiculously easy to use too.

It seems that photo booths are back to stay. Many event planners have stated that where they initially only hired such a booth as an added attraction, the photo booth turned out to be the main attraction during the event. They keep developing them and these days they even offer video capability.
