Set-Up Guide
We run two different booth set-ups, and you choose which one comes to your event. One is built for how it looks. The other is built so every guest gets photographed properly, whatever their height.
Same cameras, same prints, same props and crew — and the same price either way. The difference is the stand in the corner of your room, and who it works best for.
The Wooden Booth
Best for: weddings, styled events, anywhere the booth is part of the decor
A warm timber enclosure on matching wooden legs, with a round softbox light on top and a separate wooden print station beside it. It looks like a piece of furniture rather than equipment, which is why couples with a carefully styled ballroom tend to pick it.
The trade-off is that it sits at one fixed height. For a room full of standing adults that's exactly right. For a guest sitting down, the camera is looking at them from above.
The DSLR Tower
Best for: mixed guest lists — children, elderly guests, wheelchair users and adults at the same event
A DSLR and LED panel mounted on an adjustable column, with a tap-to-start screen below. Slimmer, more discreet, and it disappears into the room instead of competing with your styling.
The important part is the column. Our crew can raise or lower the camera between groups, so a child, a seated guest and a standing adult each get photographed at eye level rather than from above.
Why Camera Height Matters
A fixed-height booth is set for someone standing up. Everyone else gets photographed from above — looking up into the lens, framed badly, often half out of shot. The usual result is that a grandparent in a wheelchair or a six-year-old simply doesn't use the booth, because the first photo came out wrong and nobody wants a second go.
An adjustable column fixes that in about five seconds. The crew drops it for a seated guest, raises it for the next group of adults, and everyone gets a photo taken at their own eye level.
If your guest list spans three generations — which at a Singapore wedding banquet it almost always does — this is the single thing most worth deciding before the day.
How to Choose
Pick the wooden booth if…
- The booth will be photographed as part of your styling
- Your guests are mostly standing adults
- You want a warm, classic look that matches a hotel ballroom
Pick the DSLR tower if…
- Children, elderly guests or wheelchair users are coming
- You'd rather the equipment stayed visually quiet
- Your guest list spans a wide range of heights and ages
Same price either way, so choose on fit rather than budget. Still unsure? Tell us your venue and who's coming and we'll recommend one — you pick the set-up when you confirm your booking.
What's the Same Either Way
- The price. Neither set-up costs more than the other
- DSLR camera and studio-grade lighting
- Unlimited prints in your choice of format — see the print out guide
- Your pick from the full backdrop library — see the backdrops guide
- Themed props, a personalised print overlay with 2 revisions, and digital copies after the event
- About 3m × 3m of space, one 13A power point, 45 minutes to set up
- Free setup and teardown, with crew arriving 45 minutes before your start time
Both set-ups run our Classic, Keychain and Magnet booths. Compare all packages and prices on the comparison page.
Set-Up FAQs
Which photobooth set-up should I choose?
Choose the wooden booth if the look of the booth matters to your styling and your guests will mostly be standing adults. Choose the DSLR tower if your guest list spans children, elderly guests or anyone seated in a wheelchair — the camera height can be adjusted between groups so everyone is framed properly.
Is the photobooth suitable for guests in wheelchairs?
Yes, if you choose the DSLR tower. Its camera sits on an adjustable column, so our crew lowers it for a seated guest and raises it again for the next group. The wooden booth is a fixed height, which suits standing adults but photographs seated guests from above. Tell us when you book and we'll bring the right one.
Do both set-ups take the same photos?
Yes. Both use a DSLR camera with studio lighting, both print in the same formats and sizes, and both come with the same props, backdrops, custom print design and crew. The difference is the physical set-up, not the photo quality or what guests take home.
Does one set-up cost more than the other?
No. Both set-ups are the same price on every package, so choose purely on what suits your event and your guests. Nothing about the booth you pick changes your quote.
Can we choose the set-up when we book?
Yes. Tell us which you'd prefer when you confirm your booking and we'll bring that one. If you're not sure, describe your guest list and venue and we'll recommend the one that suits your event.
Does the set-up change the space or power we need?
No. Both need about 3m × 3m and one standard 13A power point, and both take around 45 minutes to set up. Our crew arrives 45 minutes before your start time either way.
