Frequently asked
questions

We're a St. Louis–based photo and event experience company. Since 2015, we've brought booths, cameras, and interactive fun to weddings, corporate events, parties, and everything in between. One crew, every experience.

All of them — weddings, corporate parties, galas, fundraisers, school and church events, grand openings, trade shows, birthdays, and more. We also work regularly with venues, planners, hospitals, and dealerships.

We're based in the St. Louis metro area and cover the whole region — and we're happy to travel beyond it for the right event. Just tell us where you're headed and we'll sort out the details.

Quite a few, so there's a fit for every event and budget:

• Basic, Premium, and Classic booths — the timeless photo booth experience
• AI Booth — fun, custom AI-generated photo experiences
• 360 Video Booth — guests step on the platform and a camera spins around them for a slow-motion video
• Glam & Vogue Booths — that flattering, magazine-style black-and-white glam look
• Glambot — our most popular booth, a cinematic slow-motion video that makes everyone look like a star
• Drop-off rentals — want to run it yourself? We can drop a booth off for you

It's our most-requested experience. A camera sweeps past your guests in dramatic slow motion, turning a quick moment into a cinematic, share-worthy clip. It's the one people can't stop talking about.

Guests stand on a platform while a camera arm spins around them, capturing a slow-motion 360° video. Add music and effects and you've got an instant highlight reel guests love to post.

We sure do. Beyond booths we bring:

• Interactive fun: Sketch Robots, trading-card booths, the Memory Match game, and photo mosaic walls
• Photography: roaming photographers, magazine cover and portrait studios, headshots, weddings, and full event coverage
• Keepsakes guests take home: live hat and patch bars, on-site t-shirt printing, video guest books, custom backdrops, and instant prints

Yes — ask about our drop-off rentals. We deliver, set it up, show you how to run it, and pick it back up when you're done — so all you have to do is enjoy it.

Absolutely. From roaming photographers and on-site headshots to full wedding and event coverage, we can capture the whole day, not just the booth.

The easiest way is our Request a Quote form — just tell us your date, location, and what you're imagining, and we'll put together a quote. Prefer to talk it through? Call or text us at 314.356.8940, or email events@stlphotoparty.com.

The sooner the better — popular dates (especially weekends and wedding season) fill up fast. We recommend booking a few months ahead when you can, but reach out anytime — we'll always do our best to fit you in.

Yes — a 25% non-refundable retainer holds your date, with the balance due 30 days prior to your event. Any booking made less than 30 days out requires payment in full.

Your payment is fully refundable if you cancel 30 days or more prior to your event, or we'll provide a full credit toward a future event. The retainer is non-refundable regardless of cancellation date. We also have a Force Majeure policy for circumstances beyond anyone's control.

It depends on the experience. Most booths fit comfortably in about 8 x 8 ft, while the 360 and Glambot need a bit more room for guests to move. Tell us your venue and we'll make sure it works.

We arrive early and handle everything. Setup usually takes about 30–180 minutes depending on the service, and we're packed up and out without disrupting your event.

Yes — most of our experiences come with a friendly attendant who runs the booth, helps your guests, and keeps things flowing. Our drop-off booths are unattended.

Just a few basics: a standard power outlet nearby, a flat space, a place to store our equipment and—if needed—WiFi for instant sharing.

It depends on the package. We require a one hour rental for some and three hours for others, and you can add extra time if you want to keep the fun going.

Yes, but we do have some restrictions for outdoor events — we just need shade/cover, and access to power. Some of our services are not available for outdoor events. Let us know the setup and we'll let you know what's possible.

Yes — guests get instant prints to take home, and we can customize them with your event name, colors, or logo.

Yes. Guests can grab their photos and videos digitally — by text, email, Airdrop or QR code — so they can share right away.

Yes — guests can scan a QR code to take selfies or upload their own photos into one shared event gallery, no app download needed. After the event, you get access to all the photos and videos in one place.

You do. We share the full gallery from your event so you can download, relive, and post everything.

Definitely — custom prints, branded overlays, and custom backdrops are some of our favorite ways to make an event feel like yours. We require a 30 days notice for any custom backdrops.

Every event is different, so we build a quote around what you need. Reach out and we'll send pricing for your date.

Every package is different and we can communicate to you what is included once we know your wishes.

Yes, there are travel fees. In the St. Louis Metro area there are no travel fees. Inquire with us if you are not in the metro area.

We accept credit card, check, ACH, Venmo, and Zelle — whatever's easiest for you.
