In every package
This is the whole list. If it is not here, it is an add-on and it has a price on the add-ons page.
A DSLR with studio strobes, not a tablet and a ring light. Skin looks like skin, and a dark room stops being a problem.
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.
Guests send their photos, GIFs and boomerangs to their own phone by text, email or QR code before they leave the booth.
Someone from Aura runs the booth the whole time, keeps the line moving and helps guests who have never used one.
We design the strip and the start screen around your names, date, colours or logo, and send a proof before the event.
We arrive about an hour early and pack down after. None of it counts against your booth hours.
If prints are not the point, the digital self-operated booth is $350 for 2 hours plus HST. Guests tap to start and send themselves the photo. No attendant, no printer, much smaller footprint. Best under about 30 guests.
Print design
We design the layout and the start screen around your event and send a proof before the date. Every design below is shown at its real print shape, so a 4x6 is not squeezed into a strip slot. The names on them are made up.
More on sizes and how the design gets made on the photo layouts page.
Three of the events we have run, in the client's own words. These are the only reviews on this site and every one of them is real.
“They were professional, easy to communicate with and well-priced. Their team was very self-sufficient and did an excellent job engaging event attendees. The process was super easy and we appreciated that people could get printed and digital photos immediately.”
“Great photo booth experience. They were very accommodating, friendly and did an amazing job with our guests.”
“What an awesome add to our event. The crew were so friendly with our guests. Great pictures, everyone loved this. We will see you guys again for our next big event.”
Questions
Only the length. Essential is 2 hours at $550, Signature is 3 hours at $650, Ultimate is 4 hours at $800. Every one of them includes the same booth, the same lighting, the same unlimited prints, the same attendant and the same custom design. We do not hold equipment back to sell you a bigger package.
Under 100 guests, 2 hours is usually fine. Between 100 and 200, 3 hours. Over 200, book 4 or half the room will miss it. Setup and teardown happen outside your booked hours, so you get every minute you pay for.
In Burlington, Oakville and Waterdown, the digital self-operated booth is $350 for 2 hours. No attendant and no printer, guests send photos to their own phone. It suits smaller rooms and tighter budgets.
A 2x6 strip on proper photo stock, out of the printer in about ten seconds. 4x6 is available instead if you prefer the larger format. We design the layout around your names, date, colours or logo and send a proof beforehand.
Yes. Every session prints, and guests can go through as many times as they want. There is no per-print charge and no session cap.
$150 per extra hour, added to any package. If you are not sure on the night, we can usually stay on and add it to the invoice afterwards.
A 25% deposit holds it. The balance is due after the event. Send the date and the venue and we reply within the hour, 7am to 11pm.
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.
About 10 feet by 10 feet of flat floor and one standard 120V outlet within 25 feet. That fits the 8 by 8 backdrop, the camera stand, the printer and a small prop table, with room for a group of four in the photo. More on picking the spot in how much space a photo booth needs.
