A modern booth without the box

More room for people, movement, and personality

Check Live Availability

An open-air photo booth places the camera and touchscreen in front of an open posing area rather than enclosing guests inside a small cabinet. That makes the experience easy to see, simple to join, and flexible enough for couples, families, wedding parties, coworkers, and larger groups.

Halo Halo Memories brings the experience to approved venues across San Jose and the Greater Bay Area. The booth can remain in one polished location or, with eligible packages, expand into roaming coverage that brings the camera to cocktail hour, networking spaces, or the dance floor.

Packages are built by event type. Wedding options start at $450 for three hours, party options start at $300 for two hours, and corporate options start at $350 for two hours. Custom screens, overlays, prints, attendants, props, backdrops, video, roaming, branding, and reporting vary by tier, so the booking page and proposal are the final source for inclusions.

Printed keepsakes

Something tangible to take home

Select packages add unlimited 4×6 prints or classic 2×6 photo strips. The approved design keeps your names, event, or brand connected to the memory without overwhelming the photograph.

Open-air versus a traditional enclosed booth

Neither layout is right for every event. The open-air format is especially useful when visibility, larger groups, flexible styling, and guest interaction matter.

Open-air booth FAQs

Questions before you choose

The right package depends on your event type, venue, guests, output choices, and desired support.

What is an open-air photo booth?

An open-air photo booth uses a freestanding camera and touchscreen rather than enclosing guests inside a box. The open layout makes it easier to photograph couples, families, coworkers, and larger groups while keeping the setup visible and inviting.

What is a digital photo booth?

A digital photo booth captures images that guests can view and share electronically. Halo Halo Memories supports instant delivery by text, email, QR code, or AirDrop when venue connectivity and the selected experience allow it.

Does the open-air booth print photos?

Printing is available in select packages. Depending on the event type and tier, guests can receive 4×6 photos or 2×6 photo strips in addition to digital sharing. Your proposal identifies the included format.

Can guests share photos instantly?

Yes. Eligible images can be shared by text, email, QR code, or AirDrop. Strong cellular or Wi-Fi service supports faster delivery, so we ask about connectivity during venue planning.

How much room does an open-air photo booth need?

The footprint depends on the backdrop, printer, props, posing depth, and expected guest flow. Share your floor plan or venue contact and we will recommend a safe location that does not block doors, walkways, catering, or the dance floor.

Does someone operate the booth?

Attendant service is included in select packages and is recommended for printing, high guest counts, busy timelines, and roaming coverage. Simpler digital tiers may not include a full-time attendant, so your quote makes the staffing plan clear.

Can the booth be customized for a wedding or company event?

Yes, when customization is included in the selected package. We can use names, dates, colors, logos, event wording, monograms, or approved brand assets for start screens and photo overlays, then provide proofs before the event.
