What Does a Modern Photo Booth Include? (And Why You’ll Want One at Your Next Event)

If you’re planning a wedding, birthday party, corporate function, or any celebration, a modern photo booth might be the missing piece that takes your event from fun to unforgettable. But what exactly is a modern photo booth, and how is it different from the old-school booths we all remember?

At The Photobooth, we’re redefining what photo booth hire means in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast. Our booths are more than just a camera — they’re fully interactive, tech-savvy entertainment hubs that bring people together and leave your guests with amazing memories (and even better content to share!).

Vintage Wooden Booth

Let’s break down exactly what you can expect from a modern photo booth experience.

📲 1. Touchscreen Tech That’s Simple & Fun

Today’s photo booths are built with sleek touchscreen interfaces that guide guests step-by-step. From choosing filters to posing tips, it’s all animated and interactive — no guessing, no stress. Just tap, smile, and let the booth do the rest.

🤳 2. Boomerangs, GIFs, and Video Messages — Not Just Photos

Gone are the days of just a printed photo strip. Our booths let your guests capture:

• Short video messages

• Fun GIF loops

• Instagram-ready Boomerangs

This variety keeps guests engaged and coming back for more throughout your event.

🤖 3. AI Filters and Virtual Props

Modern booths use AI technology to enhance the photo experience with beauty filters, themed props, and custom overlays — all without the mess of physical props (although we offer those too!). Think of it like Snapchat or Instagram filters — but made for your event.

🌐 4. Instant Photo Sharing & QR Codes

Guests don’t have to wait for photos to be emailed later. With instant sharing via QR code, or email, your guests walk away with their photo saved and ready to post.

Plus, you get a real-time online gallery to view and download every moment captured at your event.

🖼 5. Custom Backdrops, Overlays & Branding

Want your wedding date on every print? Need your business logo featured on each photo? With modern booths, you can personalise:

• Digital photo overlays

• Event branding

• Custom backdrops

Perfect for weddings, corporate events, product launches, and birthdays.

💽 6. Keepsakes, Albums & USB Add-Ons

We don’t stop at digital memories. You can upgrade your booth hire with:

• A USB of all event photos

• A beautifully printed photo album

• Guestbook options

These are perfect for reliving the memories — or gifting to someone special.

🥳 7. Entertainment + Connection

At its core, a modern photo booth is a people magnet. It brings together friends, family, or colleagues — laughing, posing, and connecting. Whether it’s your grandma getting silly with a prop or colleagues letting loose after a big presentation, the booth becomes the heart of the party.
