What Is the Difference Between an Open Air and Enclosed Photo Booth?

An open air photo booth has no walls or curtain — guests stand in front of a camera and backdrop in the open space. It accommodates larger groups (up to 10+ people), creates a social, visible experience, and is the most popular style for weddings and parties. It starts at $475 at Captured Celebrations. An enclosed photo booth (also called a classic or traditional booth) has walls and a curtain, fits 1–4 people, and creates a more private, nostalgic experience. Enclosed booth rental starts at $1,000/hr with a 3-hour minimum. For most LA events, the open air booth is the better value — but for intimate experiences or retro themes, the enclosed option is a great fit.
