It used to be that the only thing you got from a photo booth were the traditional photo booth prints. The option for sharing, downloading, tweeting, snapping, or doing whatever it is the kids do these days, wasn’t around “back in the day.”

But if you ask us, those prints are what have kept photo booths alive. 

Think about prints like this:

NO ONE EVER PRINTS THEIR PICTURES ANYMORE (BECAUSE IT’S NOT INSTANT)

That’s right, the average amount of people that print their photos has decreased massively over the years and what’s worse is that even when people do print, it’s usually at a place that will give you a good price but won’t give you good quality photos. With photo booths, not only do you get a whole experience out of the print but you get an instant picture of good quality. We can’t speak for the other guys but here at koibooth we use a high quality sub dye printer that prints in as little as 15 seconds after each session. That’s still pretty instant!

PRINTS CAN’T BE ALTERED (THAT’S OKAY – THAT’S WHAT PHONES ARE FOR!)

Of course you can take pictures on your phone and it’s fun to add the filters and emojis and such but what we love about prints is that they capture you without the distraction of the right angles and the right filters and the right lighting. The job of the the photo booth is to have all of that taken care of for you so that you can be captured in your truest self. Plus if you really think about it, the cameras in a photo booth are amazing quality! koibooth for example, uses a high resolution DSLR camera and top of the line flash for the absolute best quality photos. So save the altering for your insta pics and save your prints for your desk at work. They will always make you smile, guaranteed.

PHOTO BOOTHS CAPTURE THE CANDID MOMENTS (WHICH ALWAYS MAKE FOR THE BEST PRINTS)

There is something so magical about the photo booth. As soon as people walk up and they they see the props and they start taking pictures, all of a sudden, their inner child comes out. And they get so silly! They just can’t stop laughing and finding more fun props and all the while, the camera is going off. Normally resulting in a very special keepsake that they can look back at all throughout the night and forever after that. If I was going to want to print anything myself, it would be all the goofy pictures I ever had with my family and friends 🙂

See? Prints are great! And to top it all off, they are simply timeless.

We were going through some old photos and Kelli found a photo booth strip of her when she was young, with her mom and aunt. It instantly made us smile so we wanted to share with you too: 

Prints are the heart and soul of any type of photography session and photo booths just wouldn’t be the same without them. We highly recommend making sure your photo booth rental includes free prints. 

Happy Partying!
