What Makes the Fancy Booth Open Air Experience Different
Fully Cordless
No outlet needed. No extension cords taped across your venue floor. Fancy Booth runs entirely on battery power — a genuine differentiator no Seattle competitor can match.
Professional DSLR Camera
Not a tablet. Not a webcam. A professional DSLR or mirrorless camera with studio umbrella lighting delivers the image quality your guests will actually want to keep.
Booth Butler On-Site
Every booking includes a dedicated on-site attendant from setup through teardown. We handle everything so you and your guests can focus on the event.
Why Fancy Booth Produces Images Other Companies Can't
Most photo booths on the market use consumer-grade tablet cameras and LED ring lights. The result looks fine on a phone screen and forgettable everywhere else.
Fancy Booth was founded by an award-winning photographer with 12+ years of professional experience. Every technical decision — camera selection, lighting setup, print output — is made to the standard of a professional photography studio, not a party rental company.
What that means for your event:
Camera: Professional DSLR or mirrorless body — the same class of equipment used for editorial and commercial photography
Lighting: Our studio grade lighting produces soft, flattering, even light — no harsh shadows, no blown-out highlights
Fully Personalized: Our experience is customized with your theme in mind, we can match your invitations and also create an entire scene matching your aesthetic.
Printing: Dye-sublimation instant printing delivers lab-quality 4x6 or 2×6 prints that resist fading, smearing, and moisture. Premium paper styles and sizes available.
Power: Fully battery-powered cordless setup — no outlet coordination, no extension cords, no venue floor hazards
Attendance: A dedicated Booth Butler manages the experience from the first guest to the last print
The result is a photo booth experience that looks as premium as the event it's part of.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
An open air photo booth is a professional camera and lighting setup without an enclosed cabinet. Guests step in front of the setup — typically in front of a backdrop — and photos are taken in the open event space. Open air booths accommodate larger groups, work in a wider range of venue footprints, and produce higher-quality images than traditional enclosed booths because they use professional cameras and studio lighting rather than consumer hardware.
-
Traditional enclosed booths use small built-in cameras and automated flash. Fancy Booth's open air setup uses a professional DSLR or mirrorless camera with studio umbrella lighting — producing results closer to professional event photography than typical photo booth output.
-
No. Fancy Booth runs entirely on battery power. Our cordless setup requires no outlet coordination with your venue and places no extension cords on your event floor — a genuine differentiator in the Seattle market.
