We built our AI Photo Booth from the ground up because we wanted a photo booth experience that felt intentional from start to finish, not just in how the images look, but in how people interact with it and with each other.

At its core, it combines professional photography hardware with AI-driven creativity to create images guests genuinely enjoy seeing and sharing. But what changes the experience isn’t just the result, it’s the process.

Each image is generated as its own unique creation. Even when guests choose the same style or prompt, the outcome isn’t identical. There’s a short pause while the image comes together, and during that pause, people naturally lean in and wait to see what appears.

That moment of anticipation ends up being just as important as the image itself.

Inspiring the Fun

It usually begins with a moment of recognition.

Someone notices an image on the rear display.  A familiar face captured in an ultra-realistic portrait, standing on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with their name etched into a star beneath their feet. Dressed for the occasion and posed as if they’re celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

The spectator pauses and curiosity is sparked. A nearby guest looks over, a comment is made and a smile follows. Interest spreads through the room. The excitement builds naturally as guests see what’s being created and imagine themselves stepping into that scene next.

This is the atmosphere the AI booth was designed to create.

Designed and Built In-House

The AI Photo Booth was designed and created in-house as a single, unified system. It brings together a professional photo studio, AI-driven creative processing, and an on-site photo lab into one thoughtfully designed tower.

Every element exists to support the overall experience — from how guests interact with the screen, to how images are revealed, to how prints feel once they’re in hand. When paired with the optional 50-inch slideshow display and light column combo, the booth’s presence makes a noticeable impact on the overall atmosphere of the event, generating curiosity and encouraging participation.

Dual Screens, Double the Fun!

A major part of how the booth functions within an event comes down to its dual-screen design.

The front display is an interactive, 27” portrait-oriented touchscreen used by guests during their session. The rear display, also a large portrait-oriented 27” screen, continuously showcases a slideshow of AI-generated images created throughout the event.

That rear screen changes how the booth is experienced. Guests who aren’t actively using the booth are drawn in by the images being displayed. Conversations start naturally as people react to what they see, compare styles, and imagine what they might create themselves. Over time, the slideshow becomes its own form of entertainment — something guests watch, talk about, and return to.

This unique feature extends beyond the user experience and becomes a shared visual element within the event. It inspires participation, sparks ideas, and adds an additional layer of engagement that continues even when guests aren’t directly interacting with the booth.

Prints and Takeaways

Guests receive lab-quality, full size 4×6 prints generated and printed on site during the event. Each print is produced in approximately 15 seconds, giving guests a physical photo they can take with them  immediately.  These prints aren’t treated as a novelty add on. They become keepsakes and event favors guests genuinely want to hold onto. 

In addition to printed photos, guests can receive their images digitally via QR code, allowing them to receive, save and share their photos right away. The original images are also preserved, ensuring the experience extends beyond the moment itself.

Together, the prints and digital delivery give guests something tangible, something shareable, and something memorable.  All created in real time!

Shaping the Atmosphere with a Shared Experience

The AI booth becomes more than a place to take photos. It adds a visual and social anchor, something guests notice, talk about, and return to throughout the night. The combination of live imagery, physical prints, and shared viewing creates a rhythm that builds naturally, adding energy without pulling focus or needing explanation.  Your guests will be impressed and sharing their experience throughout the night and beyond! 

Having been in this industry and serving the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky areas  since 2009, we’ve seen photo booths change in a lot of ways.  We’ve been actively involved in pushing those changes forward. Our focus has always been on excellence, not just in how things look, but in how they’re built, maintained, and presented. Our equipment is kept in like-new condition, our setups are thoughtfully designed, and our experiences are carefully refined.

From being early adopters of mirror booths, to among the first in the Cincinnati area to offer 360 booths, and now introducing AI-powered photo booth experiences, innovation has been a consistent part of how we operate. The AI Photo Booth is simply the next step in a long history of building experiences that raise expectations while staying grounded in real-world events.

Creative Flexibility That Enhances any Event

Because the experience is driven by custom AI prompts, the booth isn’t locked into a single look, theme, or backdrop. Instead, it adapts to the event it’s part of. Whether that means cinematic portraits, stylized illustrations, fantasy-inspired visuals, or something playful and unexpected, the creative direction can shift entirely based on the prompt design. This makes the booth especially well suited for events where personality, theme, or storytelling matter — from Comic-Con–style gatherings and anime or cosplay events, to themed parties, pop-culture celebrations, and creative brand experiences. Seasonal events like Halloween, Christmas and holiday parties, Valentine’s Day, and New Year’s Eve also lend themselves naturally to this format, with visuals that feel tailored rather than generic.

For event planners, teams, and organizers, that flexibility translates into something practical as well. A single booth can support a wide range of event types without requiring physical set changes or multiple photo ops. Youth sports banquets, little league teams, school events, fundraisers, and community celebrations can all be customized with prompts that reflect team identity, colors, or themes. Corporate events and brand activations benefit in the same way, with visuals designed specifically for the audience and setting. In many cases, the AI Booth can replace larger, static photo installations — delivering a similar visual impact in a more adaptable, space-conscious format.

We know wedding timelines can be complicated. Idle Time can help bridge the gaps and add flexibility in a budget-friendly way. 

All of our packages include 4 hours of photo booth service, delivery and setup. Depending on the package, setup will begin 90-120 minutes prior to the start of the service period. There are two ways to extend your service period, Idle Time ($75/hour) and Run Time ($150/hour). Idle Time is any time the photo booth is scheduled to be set up but not running, whereas Run Time is more time for making memories. Adding Idle Time is the best way to get the most value out of your rental and can be used in a multitude of ways.

 

For example, say you have the following timeline:

 

Early guest arrival: 4:15 pm

Ceremony: 4:45 pm

Cocktail Hour: 5:00 - 6:00 pm

First dances/introduction/dinner: 6:00 - 7:00 pm

Reception: 6:00 - 10:30 pm



If you decided to schedule the photo booth service period from 6:00 to 10:00 pm (without Idle Time) our usual process would be to create the following schedule:

 

Early guests arrival: 4:15 pm 

Ceremony Time 4:45 pm

Load-In Time: 4:30 pm

Photo Booth Start Time: 5:00 pm

Cocktail hour: 5:00 - 6:00 pm

First dances/introduction/dinner: 6:00 - 7:00 pm

Photo Booth End Time: 9:00 pm

Pack up: 9:00 - 10:00 pm

Reception End Time: 10:30 pm

 

With the above schedule, the booth would begin running during the cocktail hour and continue to 9pm.  The photo booth would be open during reception introductions and first dances. Some couples choose to have the photo booth closed during this time so guests are better able to focus on the happenings of the event. By adding an hour of Idle Time from 6:00 - 7:00 pm, the photo booth service is paused during the moments you'll want your guests to be more invested in the festivities at hand. 

 

In this case, the schedule would look like this:

 

Early guest arrival: 4:15 pm 

Ceremony Time 4:45 pm

Load-In Time: 4:30 pm

Photo Booth Start Time: 5:00 pm

Cocktail hour: 5:00 - 6:00 pm

First dances/introduction/dinner: 6:00 - 7:00 pm

Idle Time: 6:00 - 7:00 pm

Photo Booth End Time: 10:00 pm

Reception End Time: 10:30 pm

Pack up: 10:00 - 11:00 pm

 

In this scenario, your guests would be able to use the photo booth during the cocktail hour. The booth would be closed for the first hour of the reception, then resume from 7:00 - 10:00 pm, thus extending the service period.

Idle Time for Lighting and Decor

We’re always adding to our curated collection of lighting and decor! We offer a special rate when these rentals are paired, and delivered with, a photo booth rental. Paired with a photo booth rental, lighting and decor rentals often add 30-60 minutes of included setup time. If the items are needed earlier, creating a need for a separate trip earlier in the day, the special rate would no longer apply. If you want these rental items delivered and set up earlier in the day, while maintaining the special rate, adding Idle Time may be the best way to accomplish this. 

Adding Lighting/Decor rentals and Idle Time to our previous schedule will save money and could look like this:

 

Load-In Time: 2:00 pm

Lighting and decor setup: 2:00 - 3:00 pm (included with rental fee)

Early guests arrival: 3:00 pm 

Photo booth setup in reception area: 3:00 - 4:30 pm

Ceremony Time 4:00 pm

Idle Time: 4:30 - 5:00 pm ($37.50)

Photo Booth Start Time: 5:00 pm

Cocktail hour: 5:00 - 6:00 pm

First dances/introduction/dinner: 6:00 - 7:00 pm

Idle Hour: 6:00 - 7:00 pm ($75)

Photo Booth End Time: 10:00 pm

Reception End Time: 10:30 pm

Pack up: 10:00 - 11:00 pm

 

Even with the additional Idle Time, pairing and delivering the items together as described above yields and overall savings of $125.

Our “LOVE” Marquee Letters are $75 per letter when paired with a photo booth rental, vs. $125 per letter as a stand alone rental. In the above scenario, $60 of Idle Time allows all the items to be delivered earlier, in a single trip, and maintains the special single-delivery rate.… While also extending your photo booth service period.  As a stand alone rental, the fee for the love letters would increase by $200.  

 

Idle Time and Run Time can be combined just about any way you want to fit your budget and scheduling needs. We want to make sure your photo booth service is utilized to the fullest. Please let us know what other questions we can answer to make your day go as smoothly as possible. As always, we’re looking forward we can’t wait to “Bring The Fun” to your event!
