  • Printer beside it, 2x6 strips in about ten seconds
  • Clean white studio backdrop, 8 by 8
  • Prop table, picked for the event rather than a bin of tat

What you get

The whole kit

Every attended package includes the same equipment and the same person running it. The only thing that changes is how long we stay.

A real camera and real light

A DSLR with studio strobes, not a tablet and a ring light. Skin looks like skin, and a dark room stops being a problem.

Unlimited prints

2x6 strips as fast as guests can take them, 4x6 prints if you prefer the bigger format. Printed on proper photo stock in about ten seconds.

Instant sharing

Guests send their photos, GIFs and boomerangs to their own phone by text, email or QR code before they leave the booth.

An attendant on site

Someone from Aura runs the booth the whole time, keeps the line moving and helps guests who have never used one.

Your design on every print

We design the strip and the start screen around your names, date, colours or logo, and send a proof before the event.

Delivery, setup, teardown

We arrive about an hour early and pack down after. None of it counts against your booth hours.

What we shoot

The booth is the same. What changes is the timeline, the design on the strip and how the room uses it.

Questions

Common questions

How much does a photo booth cost?

Essential is $550 for 2 hours, Signature is $650 for 3 hours and is the one most people book, and Ultimate is $800 for 4 hours. An extra hour is $150. The digital self-operated booth is $350 for 2 hours in Burlington, Oakville and Waterdown. All prices are plus HST.

Is an attendant included?

Yes, on every attended package. They arrive about an hour before the booth opens, run it for the whole rental, and pack down after.

How much space does the booth need?

About 10 feet by 10 feet, and a standard 120V outlet within 25 feet. We bring the booth, the lights, the backdrop and the prop table. Outdoors we need shelter and shade.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included across Halton, which is Burlington, Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills, plus Hamilton and Mississauga. Toronto and the rest of the GTA carry a flat travel fee that we quote up front, and most Toronto venues land between $50 and $100. Niagara is a flat fee too, quoted with your price.

How much is the travel fee to Toronto?

It is a flat fee on the quote rather than a rate, and most Toronto venues land between $50 and $100. You see the number before you book and it does not change afterwards.

How do we book?

Send the date and the venue. We reply within the hour, 7am to 11pm, with availability and a price. A 25% deposit holds the date and the balance is due after the event.

What is the deposit?

25% of the total holds your date. The balance is due after the event. We invoice for both, and schools and corporates can pay on a PO.

What happens if we have to cancel?

Ask us. We handle cancellations case by case rather than hiding a clause in a contract, so tell us as early as you can and we will work it out with you.

How long does setup take?

About 45 minutes to an hour. We arrive early, set up while guests are still arriving, and teardown takes about half an hour after the booth closes.
