An open-air photo booth, unlimited prints, a box of props, and an attendant who runs the whole thing so you never have to think about it. Your guests leave holding something. So do you.
That’s the real reason a photo booth earns its space in the room. A thousand pictures end up buried in a thousand camera rolls. A photo strip ends up on a refrigerator.
Motion & Memory is run by Roberto Gonzalez. We bring an open-air booth, good lighting, a printer that keeps up with a full dance floor, and someone standing there to keep it moving. You get the digital gallery afterward. Your guests get something in their hand before they leave.
It works the same whether it’s a 200-person wedding reception or a graduation party in a backyard. Tell us the date and the room, and we’ll tell you what fits.
No line-item surprises on the day of. Delivery, setup, staffing, prints, props, and breakdown are part of the booking — not add-ons you find out about at the venue door.
A slim open-air booth on a stand, a backdrop, a light, and a print tray. It takes up about the corner of a room and gives back the loudest ten square feet of the night.
The setup adapts to the room and the crowd. What changes is the backdrop, the prop box, and where we put it so the line doesn’t cut through your dance floor.
Placed near the bar or the edge of the dance floor, it gives guests something to do between courses and doubles as a guest book — a strip in the album, a note beside it. It also quietly solves the problem of the relatives who won’t line up for formal portraits.
This crowd will use a booth harder than any other. Sequin or floral backdrops to match the dress, a prop box aimed at teenagers, and instant sharing so it’s posted before the night is over.
Cap and gown, family, friends, one frame. Works in a backyard or a rented hall, and gives the grandparents a physical print instead of a photo they’ll never find again on a phone.
Milestone parties where the guest list spans four generations. The open-air setup means eight people can pile into one shot instead of taking turns two at a time.
Branded backdrops and custom print templates are available on request, so the strip your team takes home carries your logo without turning the night into a marketing exercise.
Daytime, indoor, quieter rooms. A softer backdrop, a smaller footprint, and a slower pace — the booth doesn’t need a DJ to be worth having.
Most photo booth complaints aren’t about photo quality. They’re about a booth that showed up late, ran out of paper, or sat unstaffed in a corner. Here’s what we hold ourselves to instead.
Setup happens well ahead of your start time, not during it. Your guests should walk into a booth that’s already working.
An attendant is there the whole rental window — restocking props, keeping the line moving, and fixing anything before you ever hear about it.
“Unlimited prints” means we bring enough media for a full room for the full window, not a cap dressed up in nicer words.
Travel, setup, staffing, and breakdown are quoted before you book. There is no day-of invoice and no surprise line items.
You get the full gallery after the event, not just whatever guests happened to text themselves at the booth.
Dinner, speeches, first dance — tell us the run of show and we’ll stay out of the way of it, including idle time if you’d rather the booth pause.
A print is what makes a photo booth feel like a photo booth. The digital copy is what makes it useful the next morning. You get both, and nobody has to download an app to make it happen.
The prints come off a dye-sublimation printer, which is the reason a booth strip survives being carried around in a pocket all night and stuck on a fridge for years — it’s dry the moment it comes out and it doesn’t smudge or fade the way an inkjet print does. The digital files are the full-resolution originals, not the small compressed versions that got texted at the booth, so you can reprint or enlarge anything later.
Rental windows are the main thing that changes the price. Everything in “What’s Included” is in all three. Tell us your guest count and run of show and we’ll tell you honestly which one fits — including when the smaller one is enough.
Send the date, the venue, and a rough guest count. We confirm availability before anything else — weekends book earliest.
We recommend a rental length based on your run of show, then send one flat quote with everything in it.
Backdrop, print template, and where the booth goes in the room. A deposit holds the date; the balance is due before the event.
We arrive early, set up, staff it, break it down, and send you the gallery afterward. Nothing on the day of is your job.
This is the part most people don’t think about until the night of, and it matters more than any spec on the booth. A few things worth deciding early — ask us and we’ll walk your floor plan with you before you book.
A booth tucked into a quiet hallway gets used by twelve people. A booth within sight of the bar or the edge of the dance floor gets used by everyone. It needs to be somewhere guests pass without making a decision to go there — but far enough off the floor that a line doesn’t cut through dancing.
Nobody uses a photo booth during a plated dinner or during speeches. If your window opens at the start of cocktail hour and runs through the first hour of dancing, you get the two busiest stretches of the night instead of paying for an empty room.
One announcement from whoever holds the microphone doubles booth traffic. If your DJ or coordinator knows it’s there and mentions it once after dinner, it stops being a thing in the corner and becomes part of the night.
Sequins are dramatic under low reception lighting and busy in daylight. Florals and neutrals photograph well in almost any room. If your venue has a lot of colored uplighting, simpler is usually the safer call — send us a venue photo and we’ll tell you which way to go.
Some venues cap vendor load-in times, require a certificate of insurance, or restrict where equipment can sit. Ask your coordinator early — it’s a two-minute question that occasionally changes the plan, and it’s far easier to sort out weeks ahead than at the door.
The nicest low-cost addition is a small album and a pen beside the booth. Guests print two — one to take, one to stick in the book with a note. You end up with a guest book made of faces instead of signatures, and it costs you almost nothing.
Weekend dates go first, especially in wedding and quinceañera season. Send the date and we’ll confirm whether it’s open before talking about anything else.
Roughly a 10 × 10 ft area is ideal — that covers the booth, the backdrop, and enough room for a group to stand back far enough to all fit in frame. It can work in less. Send us a photo of the space or the venue floor plan and we’ll tell you honestly whether the corner you have in mind will work before you book.
A standard outlet within reach is required — we bring our own extension and tape it down. Wi-Fi or cell service is only needed for instant text and email sharing. If the venue has neither, the booth and the printer still work normally and the digital files are delivered to you afterward instead.
Included, for the entire rental window. Self-serve booths are where most of the horror stories come from: props scattered, paper out, nobody to reset it. Someone from us stands with the booth, keeps the line moving, and restocks as the night goes.
It means we bring enough print media to keep printing for the whole window, and every person in a group shot can get their own copy rather than one strip per session. It is not a session cap dressed up in nicer language.
Yes. A custom print template with your names and date is standard on the three-hour window and up, and branded templates and backdrops for corporate events are available on request. Send us what you have — even a rough idea of your colors is enough to start.
Travel within the local area is included in the quote. Longer distances are quoted up front as a flat amount, never added afterward. Ask with your venue address and you’ll get a straight number.
The equipment cannot sit in rain, so an outdoor booking needs a covered backup — a tent, patio, or indoor corner. We’ll agree on that plan when you book rather than improvising on the day, and we’ll move to the backup spot ourselves.
As early as you have the date. Saturdays in wedding and quinceañera season go first, and a booth is easy to leave until late in the planning and then find unavailable. If your date is close, still ask — sometimes it’s open.
A deposit holds it, with the balance due before the event. If your date moves, tell us as early as you can and we’ll do what we can to move the booking with it rather than treat it as a cancellation.
Yes — idle time is normal and doesn’t waste your window on an empty room. Send your run of show and we’ll plan the active hours around the parts of the night where nobody would be using it anyway.
One message with your date and venue is enough to get a straight answer and a flat quote. No deposit to ask, and no pressure either way.
If the date is taken, we’ll say so plainly rather than talking you into a different one. If a shorter window would serve your night just as well, we’ll tell you that too — a booth that’s busy for three hours is a better memory than one that sits idle for five.
