How do I book?
Start by filling out our booking form through the website, providing your event details. Then, request a remote consultation slot for us to review and approve. If approved, we’ll connect to go over your event, answer any questions, and finalize the booking.
What kind of camera do you use?
We use the Canon EOS M50, a high-quality, professional-grade mirrorless camera known for capturing crisp, vibrant photos. It’s trusted by professional photographers for both photo and video, ensuring every moment is beautifully preserved.
Is the downpayment refundable?
Unfortunately, deposits are non-refundable. However, we understand plans can change! You’re welcome to reschedule your event at least 7 days in advance at no extra cost. Rescheduling within 7 days may incur a $50 fee.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks ahead for standard events to secure your preferred date. For larger events like weddings or those requiring custom designs, 4-6 weeks is ideal to allow for personalization and planning.

Travel within 20 miles of our Avondale, Chicago (60618) location is included in your booking. For locations beyond that, a travel fee of $1 per mile (round trip) will apply.
Can the booth be used outdoors?
Yes — the booth can be set up outdoors, provided there’s a flat, shaded, and covered area with access to a power outlet. Please note, outdoor bookings are weather-dependent for the safety of our equipment.
What happens if something goes wrong?
We always have a trained on-site attendant to keep everything running smoothly. In the rare event of a technical issue, we’ll work quickly to resolve it and make things right.
