Picture a sleek photo booth setup with vibrant lighting and festive props welcoming your guests. At your Massachusetts event, this setup transforms the atmosphere into an interactive experience they will remember.
Many hosts worry about taking care of every detail—from lighting and props to power and staffing. With BostonPhoto360’s photo booth setup, you do not have to worry about any of that. Our team handles every technical and visual element so your event starts smoothly and runs without trouble.
Read on to learn our step-by-step setup process, lighting and space choices, and how we bring professional, fun, turnkey booths to venues across the Bay State.
Our Step‑by‑Step Setup Process
We take care of it all.
First, we arrive early—usually 60 to 90 minutes before your event starts. We unload high-quality frames, cameras, LED lights, props, and preview screens. Next, we coordinate with venue staff to pick the best location. We look for high-traffic areas with flattering backgrounds while keeping space open for guest flow.
Then we build the booth frame: 10×10 feet for 360 setups and 6×6 feet for selfie booths. After that, we install LED lighting, position the props table covered with black-stretch fabric, and arrange theme-matching accessories. Next, we run technical checks on power, lighting angles, touchscreen function, and content sharing software. Finally, a trained attendant takes over. They refresh props, greet guests, and troubleshoot any issues. Every step ensures a smooth, polished booth experience.
Choosing the Right Lighting for Your Setup
Good lighting makes all the difference.
We use LED lighting rigs that eliminate shadows, sharpen colors, and create a ring-light effect appropriate for portraits and video. First, we assess your room setup—ballroom chandeliers, natural daylight through windows, or outdoor tent lighting. Next, we fine-tune brightness and color temperatures to match the venue atmosphere.
Finally, we lock the settings before guests arrive. For example, at a beachside event in Scituate, we increased warm tones to match sunset light. In a downtown Boston loft, we reduced brightness to complement ambient fixtures. Proper lighting ensures every image looks clean, vivid, and consistent with your vision.
Props and Themed Details
Props add fun and personality to every shot.
We provide a curated selection that includes large glasses, emoji paddles, hats, chalkboard signs, and custom props that match your event theme, whether a corporate gala or a boho wedding. Props arrive pre-organized in open bins on a covered table. Then our attendant rotates items and refreshes the table as needed.
We select quality pieces that reflect your event’s style. For example, at a New Bedford anniversary party, we included nautical props. At a Worcester startup launch, we added branded signage. We can also work with your custom backdrop designs. Guests feel encouraged to strike poses when props match the celebration, making your photos and videos more dynamic.
Space Requirements and Booth Placement
We plan carefully to fit every setup perfectly.
Our 360 booth needs a 10×10-foot area for safe rotation. The selfie booth fits within a 6×6-foot footprint and works well with a props table nearby. We place booths near a corner or edge of your venue, where guests naturally gather but don’t block traffic. We avoid entrances, food lines, and emergency exits. Booth placement adapts to any space—indoor ballrooms, outdoor lawns, tents, or roof decks. For example, at a Somerville garden wedding, we located the booth under a pergola to offer shade and ambiance.
Power and Technical Setup
We bring everything you need for seamless operation.
Each booth connects to a standard 110V outlet. We include extension cords, power strips, and backup batteries for remote areas. LED lights operate on low-heat systems that are safe in enclosed or tented spaces. Technicians test touchscreens, cameras, preview displays, and sharing software during setup. We remain on-site to monitor and adjust if power flickers or lighting shifts. Our team handles necessary maintenance so your focused attention stays on the event.
On‑Site Host Role
Our host keeps the experience running smoothly.
They greet guests, recommend props, and explain the process. The host also ensures props remain clean and tidy, clearing any messes immediately. Should the touchscreen freeze or a video fail to send, the host resolves any technical issues right away. They guide guests on how to share images—whether by text, email, QR code, AirDrop, or direct upload. Their presence keeps the booth area welcoming, safe, and interactive throughout the event.
Cleanup and Post‑Event Wrap Up
Cleanup is quick and efficient.
At the event’s end, our host packs equipment and props, respecting venue rules and timelines. Each prop is cleaned, packaged, and stored. Cameras, lights, and frames are inspected and maintained after every event. Within 24 to 48 hours, we deliver a secure digital gallery link containing all images and videos. You receive professional content ready for social sharing or personal keepsakes.
