When planning your next event, choosing the right photo booth hire in Melbourne can make a big difference in how your guests experience the fun. One of the first choices you’ll face is whether to go with an open-air photo booth or a traditional enclosed booth.

🎥 What Is an Open-Air Photo Booth?

An open-air booth is set up without walls — just a camera, lighting, and backdrop. It’s spacious, flexible, and perfect for larger groups. You can use creative custom backdrops or even your venue’s natural background.

• ✅ Fits more people in a single shot
• ✅ Great for weddings, birthdays, and corporate events
• ✅ Easier to style with custom backdrops and props
• ⚠️ Less private — guests are visible while posing

📸 What Is an Enclosed Photo Booth?

An enclosed booth offers a private space with curtains or walls. It’s a nostalgic, old-school photo booth experience where guests can relax and be silly away from the crowd.

• ✅ More privacy — perfect for shy guests
• ✅ Controlled lighting for consistent photos
• ✅ Classic photo strip look
• ✅ Limited space — usually fits 3–5 people comfortably

🤔 Which One Should You Choose?

The best option depends on your event type and vibe:

• Weddings & Birthdays: Open-air booths let everyone join in on the fun.
• Corporate Events: Open-air setups are great for branded backdrops and logos — check our Quick Quote page for tailored packages.
• Formal Events: Enclosed booths offer privacy and classic charm.
