Open Air Photo Booth Rental in Vancouver & BC

The open air photo booth is Presto Entertainment’s most popular rental for weddings, corporate events, and private parties across BC. It features a professional backdrop, high-quality camera, instant prints, digital sharing, and a custom template. all operated by a dedicated attendant. No walls or enclosures means bigger groups and better photos.

The open air booth is where most of our clients start, and for good reason. It is the most versatile photo booth we offer. it fits into almost any venue, accommodates groups of any size, and delivers the kind of print quality that guests actually want to keep. No cramped enclosed box, no awkward curtain. Just a professional backdrop, great lighting, and a camera that takes sharp, well-lit photos every time.

Unlike many photo booth companies that use consumer-grade tablets and ring lights, our open air booth runs on Fotomaster professional equipment with studio-quality lighting and a high-resolution camera. The difference shows in the output. crisp images with accurate skin tones and even lighting, not the washed-out, grainy shots you get from a modified iPad.

What Makes an Open Air Booth Different from an Enclosed Booth?

Open air means there are no walls, curtains, or enclosures around the photo area. Guests walk up to a backdrop, the attendant or touchscreen guides them through the process, and the camera captures the shot. This design has three practical advantages over enclosed booths.

First, group size is unlimited. Enclosed booths typically max out at three or four people before it gets uncomfortable. An open air setup can fit a bridal party of twelve or a full corporate team without anyone getting cropped out of the frame.

Second, it creates energy. When guests can see other people having fun at the booth, more people want to join. An enclosed booth hides the action behind a curtain. an open air booth puts it on display, which keeps the line moving and the engagement high.

Third, it takes up less space. Without walls and a housing structure, the open air booth has a smaller physical footprint while actually providing a larger usable photo area.

Our most popular rental. Works for any group size and any venue.

What Events Is the Open Air Booth Best For?

Honestly, almost everything. It is our go-to recommendation for wedding receptions because it handles large groups, prints fast, and the open format keeps guests mingling rather than disappearing behind a curtain. For corporate events, the open air setup works well with branded backdrops and custom templates that feature your company logo. And for parties, graduations, and fundraisers, it is the easiest way to add interactive entertainment without a complicated setup.

If you want a more premium or tech-forward experience, consider upgrading to the mirror photo booth or the 360 video booth. But if you want the most reliable, universally loved option that works for every crowd and every venue, the open air booth is it.
