Been in the photo booth industry for nearly 10 years and generate $400k annually (set to do over half a mil by 2024) in the wedding and events space. I don't feel like I am the expert by any means in business or entrepreneurship, but I've built a couple successful companies on a small scale, and have an MBA, so maybe I can contribute to your success. AMA!

It depends I've had our bare bones selfie style iPad booth Make $17,000 with under $1,500 cost.

I'd say our most profitable on average per hour would be our glam booth experience, which is not about the booth itself, rather The output and what the client gets. It uses a DSLR camera with external flash, focused on really beautiful photos in full size prints with our special proprietary filter. $1,000 plus an hour with 3-hour minimums.

They enjoy all of it! Never had anyone disappointed with an experience.

It's all little things. Knowing photography and lighting are game changers. Plus my level of dedication to the business and my customers means we don't take shortcuts and we go above and beyond every time.
