It's no secret that photo booths have become increasingly popular over the last few years at weddings, parties, and corporate events. But typically, when searching for photo booths, people look for DJs to provide them. While plenty of DJs provide quality photo booth options, there are just as many who provide sub-par options as well. If you are looking to hire a photo booth for your event, hiring a photographer who provides photo booth services is a better route to go, and here are 5 reasons why.

1. Photographers have a better understanding of lighting.

You might think that photo booths are just plug and go when it comes to lighting, however that's not always the case. The location you set up in, the strength of your lights, the distance of the lights from the subject and the type of lights being used all play a role in how the lighting of your photo booth works, which in turns affects how the photos will turn out. Photographers live and breathe lighting, DJs, not so much. 

2. Photographers use gallery software.

Most photographers use gallery software for their photo shoots which means they can quickly and efficiently share the images from your event with you. Many other companies will provide you images via usb drives or even CD's which can take weeks to receive.

3. Photographers value quality photos.

Many photo booths on the market are tablet based or webcam based, meaning the booths use the front facing camera on the tablet as the primary camera or a webcam attached to a computer. Front facing tablet cameras are known for being low quality, even lower quality than the cameras on the backside of a tablet. And I don't think anyone would be surprised to know that usb webcams are also extremely dated.

For a photographer, a DSLR camera-based photo booth is the only logical route to go, meaning you receive the highest quality photos possible from your event.

4.  Photographers have printing services.   

What happens if you get an absolutely classic photo of you and your besties at the photo booth? What if you want to make a bigger print than a 2x6 inch print out from the booth? A DJ won't be able to assist you with printing after the wedding day is over, but a photographer can hook you up with a beautiful quality print. 

5.  Photographers make it easier for you. 

When you hire a DJ you hire them to DJ, not to manage the photo booth. Your DJ can't be in two places at once. What if something goes wrong with the photo booth? Many photographers provide a dedicated attendant to manage the photo booth during the event to help guests use the booth and troubleshoot any problems that may arise. That means less stress for you!
