The Basics

  • A modern photo booth is an interactive experience that allows guests to take high-quality, professional photos in a fun and spontaneous environment. Unlike the old-school mall booths, today’s setups range from sleek, open-air digital kiosks. They typically come equipped with professional lighting, fun props, custom backdrops, and an instant delivery system so guests can receive their photos via text, email, or high-speed print.

  • It depends on your event but a photo booth acts as a secondary "hub" of activity. It gives guests something fun to do during cocktail hours or transitions, breaking the ice and encouraging people to mingle and get creative. While you are busy hosting, Petal Podz photo booth is capturing all the candid moments you might have missed. Most packages include a digital gallery.

  • Unlike standard "box" booths, our handcrafted wooden booths are designed to look like a piece of high-end furniture that enhances your venue’s décor.

  • Our open-air setup is spacious; we can easily accommodate groups of 6–10 guests at a time for those high-energy group shots.

  • Unlimited sessions mean guests can use the booth as often as they like; unlimited prints ensure every person in the frame receives their own physical copy.


  • We strive to keep our pricing competitive for the luxury experience we provide! While we occasionally offer seasonal discount codes, we also offer flexible options to make your dream event a reality. After a 30% non-refundable retainer, you can set up an installment plan that works for you. Plus, we can provide a unique QR code for your event, allowing friends and loved ones to contribute toward your rental as a gift!

  • The final balance is due no later than 14 days before your big day.
