Hip Image is excellent to work with! For all your corporate photo booth needs, they should be your go to photo booth company. We used them twice for a large event we were sponsoring, and they were a perfect fit. Great communication, super flexible, and pleasant to work with. They were also in positive, fun moods when onsite! Thank you Hip Image!

Jared Sarbit
Great addition to any event or party. Great quality photos! They have many options for their photo booths including a brand new 360; a VW bus and a Boler. It’s all super fun and will get your guests in the mood. Definitely not the Photo Booths you are thinking of from days gone by.

Why isn't it best to hire a cheap photo booth rental?
Cheap photo booth rentals often mean unreliable equipment, leading to malfunctions and downtime during your event. They may lack essential features like a helpful attendant, quality props, or attractive backdrops. Customer service can be poor, and the overall look of the booth and photo strips may be cheap, impacting your event's atmosphere. Being informed about what the price includes ensures a smooth, professional, and memorable photo booth rental experience.
