Print Photo Booth Rental · Des Moines
The classic photo booth. Real prints, in their hands.
Trendy booths send a link and hope someone opens it. Ours hands every guest a glossy print they'll keep for years, and puts the photos on their phone too. Unlimited visits, every one printed. Two hours for $500, everything included, and $150 for each extra hour.
Everything guests love about a photo booth
And none of the parts they don't: no app to install, no waiting, no chasing photos a week later.
Real prints, not just a link
A glossy photo strip in their hand about ten seconds after the last flash. Guests keep them for years. Nobody keeps a text message.
Unlimited visits, every one printed
Every visit prints automatically, and guests can come back as many times as they like all night. Extra copies of a strip come from the booth's own photo gallery, up to a per-visit limit we agree with you, so the printer never becomes the line.
Designed for your event
Strips and prints carry your names, date, colors or logo. Send us a design or we'll make one to match your invitations.
On their phone too
Each print comes with a QR code. Scan it and the photos are open on the phone before the guest walks away. Share to Instagram, Snapchat, AirDrop or save to camera roll in one tap.
A gallery of the whole night
Every photo lands in a live online gallery on vivadjs.com. After the booth closes you get an email with a link to download the entire library.
Set up before, on at your time
We arrive and set up before your event starts. The booth stays switched off until the start time you choose, then turns on by itself.
How it works
Three taps from walking up to walking away with a print and the photos on your phone.
Touch the screen
A branded start screen invites guests in. No app, no sign-up, no attendant needed to get going.
Strike a pose
A countdown, three or four shots, and a chance to redo any one of them.
Grab the print
The strip prints while the QR code puts the photos on their phone. Back for another go? Go for it.

Book first, then plan together
Your client portal opens the moment you book
No long forms today. Reserve your date with half down and you get a private portal where everything for the day lives.
Upload your files
Logos, invitations, a design you already love, anything for the print. Drop it in the portal and we build the strip around it.
Share or build your timeline
Upload the timeline you have, or build one with us right in the portal, so the booth switches on exactly when the party does.
Tell us about the venue
When we can get in to set up, when guests arrive, parking and power. We're set up and out of sight before the first guest walks in.
The portal link arrives in your confirmation email and stays open until the event.

Questions we get asked
- Why a print photo booth instead of a digital one?
- Because prints get kept. Digital booths email a link that most guests never open. A physical strip goes on the fridge, into the wallet, onto the mirror. You still get the digital side too: every photo on guests' phones and a full gallery afterwards.
- Is it really unlimited?
- Visits are unlimited: guests can step in as many times as they like, and every visit prints automatically. What we cap is copies of the same strip, because reprints tie up the printer and that is what makes a line. Each visit comes with an allowance (typically 6 strips) that guests can use from the booth's gallery, and if they want more they simply step in again for a new session. Need a bigger allowance for your crowd? Tell us and we'll set it.
- What does it cost?
- $500 for two continuous hours including setup, unlimited visits with prints, an attendant, QR sharing and the online gallery. Want longer? Each extra hour is $150, up to four hours. A boxwood hedge backdrop is $80 extra. You pay half when you book and the rest before the event.
- Can the hours be split up?
- The hours run continuously from the start time you choose. We set up earlier, before your guests arrive, so the booth is ready and waiting, just switched off, until then.
- How do we send you our design, timeline or venue details?
- As soon as you book you get a client portal. Upload files or a timeline there (or build one with us), and tell us about setup access, parking and power at the venue.
- What space and power does it need?
- About an 8 × 8 ft area and a standard outlet. A wall or our hedge backdrop behind the guests looks best. We bring the lighting.
- Can we use our own design?
- Yes. Send us a design and we'll fit it, or tell us your colors, names and logo and we'll create one.
- How do we get all the photos afterwards?
- Automatically. Once the booth switches off you receive an email with your online gallery and a link to download every full-resolution photo and print.
- Can it be booked without a DJ?
- Yes. The photo booth is available on its own, or as an add-on to any Viva DJs package.
Prints they keep. Photos they share. A gallery you own.
