Flat-rate packages start with our Starter (2 hours) and scale up through Essential (3 hours), Premier (4 hours), and Full Day. Every package is all-in: attendant, instant sharing, props, backdrop, setup, and breakdown. See the full pricing on the Packages page.
Yes — a 5% discount applies when you pay in full at booking instead of using the 50/50 split. Both options are offered at checkout.
Yes. Add-ons include extra hours, additional backdrops, custom digital photo overlay design, branded digital overlays, and a Extended Service Area Fee for our outer service area. All add-ons are selectable during booking.
The 50/50 split collects half at booking. The deposit is fully refundable if you cancel more than 30 days before the event. Inside 30 days the deposit is non-refundable; inside 5 days a $200 late-booking fee applies to new reservations.
Peak summer Saturdays (June–September): 8–12 months out. Shoulder season (April–May, October): 3–6 months. Corporate holiday parties (Nov–Dec): book by early August. Winter weekday events are often available 30–60 days out.
We still take last-minute bookings when the calendar allows. A flat $200 late-booking fee is added for events booked within 5 days. Call or text 707-799-5630 to confirm availability fastest.
We arrive 60 minutes before your booth start time for setup. Breakdown takes about 30 minutes. Setup and breakdown are not counted against your rental hours.
About 10' × 10' of floor space with ceiling clearance of 8' or more, plus a standard 110V outlet within 25 feet. For outdoor events we bring extension capacity and weight bags for the backdrop.
A modern open-air booth — DSLR-quality camera, studio lighting, and a large touchscreen. Open-air means it fits groups of 8–12 in a single frame, way better than a closed curtained box.
Yes — instant digital photos on-site within seconds of the capture. Guests can also instantly text, email, or AirDrop digital copies, GIFs, and short videos to themselves.
Yes — a curated prop collection that fits the event vibe (we skip the cheesy stuff). For corporate or branded events we'll match props to your aesthetic.
Yes. Every rental includes a trained on-site attendant for the entire run time — they handle setup, the line, instant sharing, and breakdown.
Yes. A full online gallery of every capture (photos, GIFs, boomerangs, videos) is delivered within 48 hours of your event. Shareable link, downloadable.
All of Central Oregon. Bend and Redmond are flat-rate with no travel charge. Sisters, Sunriver, La Pine, and Prineville add a flat $75 Extended Service Area Fee. Anywhere further — just ask.
Sisters, Sunriver, La Pine, and Prineville sit outside the Bend/Redmond flat-rate zone. The $75 covers the full round-trip drive — no per-mile fees, no day-of surprises. It's added to the package price at checkout.
Redmond venues (Eagle Crest, Brasada Ranch) are in the flat-rate zone — no surcharge. Sisters venues (Black Butte Ranch) sit outside the flat-rate zone, so the flat $75 Extended Service Area Fee applies. We coordinate any vendor gate passes with the resort the week of your event.
Yes — Sunriver Resort, Caldera Springs, and Deschutes River estates are regular venues. The $75 Extended Service Area Fee applies, plus multi-day options for full destination weekends.
Yes — weddings are about half of what we do. Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception. Open-air design fits the wedding party plus guests, branded digital photo overlays and overlays are standard.
Yes. Custom digital photo overlays, branded digital overlays on every share, optional lead capture, and backdrops in your brand palette. Holiday parties, product launches, conference activations, summits — all standard.
All of it. Milestone birthdays (sweet 16s, 21sts, 30s through 80s), anniversary parties, multi-generational family reunions — open-air design works great when you want the whole group in one frame.
Yes. Homecoming, prom, graduation, formal dances, fundraisers and galas — clean prop curation, fast capture queue, and branded digital overlays that carry your school or cause home with every guest.
Yes, with a shade plan. High-desert sun is hard on the touchscreen and on guests; we recommend a tent or tree canopy for daytime outdoor events. We bring weight bags for the backdrop against the Central Oregon breeze.
