Our Mirror Booth is designed for guests who love beautiful photographs.

Using a professional Canon DSLR camera, studio lighting and a dye-sublimation printer, it produces crisp, flattering portraits that guests can take home immediately.

The interactive mirror guides guests through the experience with animations before producing unlimited personalised prints in around 12 seconds.

Perfect for

  • Weddings
  • Charity balls
  • Awards evenings
  • Corporate dinners
  • Black tie events
  • Birthday celebrations

The 360 Photo Booth Experience

Our 360 Booth is all about energy.

Guests stand on the platform while a rotating camera captures slow-motion video complete with music, effects and branded overlays.

The finished videos are instantly ready to share on social media, making it ideal for guests who love creating content.

Perfect for

Which Booth Creates Better Memories?

This depends entirely on the type of memories you want to create.
