Photoworks Interactive

I hired Photoworks Interactive for my husband’s 50^th Birthday Bash. They were EARLY, professional, and really MADE his party. The staff was GREAT! I would recommend them to anyone having an event… your guests have a blast, and you and your guests get photo memories. What a great service. Thank you!

We used Photo Works for a Holiday Work Party, and it was awesome! It was hard to get people out of it! It’s really great entertainment, people get to keep their pictures & they had great service. The guys that came to set it up were also very nice and they even seemed to enjoy the party! I would recommend 1000 times over! My only suggestion is having a bigger booth option, if we did this again next year I would be like to fit at least comfortably 5 – 6 people.

As Good As It Gets — We requested the services of Photoworks Interactive for our wedding (Oct-​2015). As there’s so much to juggle during a wedding, Photoworks was easy to coordinate and work with. As they’re familiar with pretty much every venue around, they knew where to be, how to set up and we just enjoyed the booth with our wedding attendees. Our family and friends loved the booth and everyone enjoyed a session or two through the evening. I was glad to share about our experience with Photoworks. Glad we made the right decision!

I booked Photoworks for our annual Carnival and they were terrific! Highly recommend!

Photoworks was amazing. They came off of a vendor list and could not be more happy with their services. The owner was quick to respond an even gave us a little tour of how things are done, their services and props. We had NO problem with delivery/​pick-​up of the booth, no technical errors and was the hit of our wedding! The scrapbook they create for you at the end was absolutely awesome as well. We could not be happier and would recommend them for your party/​wedding/​event. Thank you!

I booked a photo booth for a 125 person company party! They were great to work with. Allison called me back when she said she would, sent over detailed info and followed up in the most professional manner. The day of the event, the person running the booth was friendly and set up very nicely. The quality of the props, machine and pictures were all great and it exceeded my expectations. I would definitely use them again.

We are so happy we used Photoworks Interactive for our wedding Photo Booth! Everyone had such an amazing time using the booth at our wedding. Our technician, Scott, was so nice and helpful and really made the Photo Booth a fun experience for our guests. He was so friendly and professional to everyone! My two young cousins (10 years old) who were our Junior Bridesmaids must have gone in the Photo Booth at least 10 times and it really was the highlight of their night. Scott was so sweet and patient with them which was really appreciated!
PWI let us customize our own graphics so that the printed photo strip matched our wedding invites which was a really cute detail. After the wedding, PWI gave us a scrapbook where guests had created their own customized page for us, kinda like a guestbook. This is such a special thing to have and we will cherish it forever. They also gave us a thumb drive with everyones pictures on it, which has been VERY entertaining to look at :) I would highly recommend using PWI for any wedding or event!

I recently stumbled on to Photoworks Interactive after a small SNAFU left me without an intended photobooth for my daughter’s bat mitzvah. They stepped in, got me a machine, and made the whole process of securing the booth so easy, and all of it within ten days or less of my event! The machine worked perfectly on the day of, the pics looked great, and the attendant was very professional and nice. Thank you once again Photoworks Interactive!

We used Photoworks Interactive one year ago (June 2013) at our wedding reception. After searching long and hard for a photo booth company, I settled on Photoworks Interactive because their quality of photos impressed me and the location was close by our venue site. They were pricier than other companies we had looked at, but I figured «You get what you pay for.» The employees there were very friendly and knowledgeable. Allison, Paul and Ryan were great and I felt really happy about hiring this company, especially since they have a back-​up photo booth in the truck at the event, in case one machine breaks down.
Months before the wedding, their tech guy Ryan helped me design the photo background and I loved the way everything looked. Emails and contracts were sent and signed smoothly; everything was well-​organized. I excitedly told all my friends to make sure they went to the photo booth at the reception because I knew they would love the photos. We didn’t want the scrapbook option but opted for double prints of all the photos that would be taken. One for our guests to keep, one for us. All this was specified in our contract.
Fast forward to our wedding reception. I noticed that the line to the photo booth was always very long and slow-​moving. When I asked my friends if they had visited the booth, many of them said the line was too long and didn’t seem to be moving. The guy who was operating the booth was great though – he was very friendly and when he’d see people in our bridal party, he would let them go to the front of the line.
At the end of the night as our guests were leaving and we were packing up, I asked the booth attendant for our double prints. He seemed confused by this but I didn’t make a big deal about it since I figured they could always print me extra prints and send them to me later. He handed me a flash drive of all the photos and we went on our merry way. That weekend we looked at the photos and laughed as we looked at all our friends’ funny poses, but thought, «Why are there so few photos?»
A few days later, Paul called me and said that he would print out the double prints and mail them out to me. Then he informed me that somehow in the last 45 minutes of our reception, their hard drive had stopped saving photos and there was no way to get them back. THEY LOST OUR PHOTOS! I was in shock. Not only did they flub up the night by not printing out double prints as they should have, but now they had no record of them! Had they checked the contract, they would have printed the double prints and then if the hard drive crashed, at least we would have the printed copies.
Not only that, but the photos did not look the way we had agreed. In our initial agreement, we had specified the red curtains to match with the roses on the photo. At the reception, the curtains were an awful light blue, that totally made the photos look like a cheap circus/​carnival photo.
We also soon discovered that the amount of guests who were able to TAKE PHOTOS was considerably less than what was promised. When I first signed the contract, their sales pitch was that they’d be able to take «UNLIMITED PHOTOS» that averaged «ONE MINUTE 12 SECONDS EACH» but in reality, our 4 hour rental netted 91 photos, not including those that were lost in the last 30 minutes of the night. This translates to about 23 photos per hour. Based on what we paid, this equates to about $ 12.10 PER PHOTO.
Paul said he would check the hard drive and get back to me the next day. He never called back. Instead, I received an email saying he had a long distance call at that time and to inform him of my availability. !!! Later I was told that in the contract, in the event of machine malfunctions, there would be a refund of $ 150. We felt like the company paid us as little as they could to calm the waters. We lost all the photos in the busiest time of our reception and yet we still have to end up paying $ 10 for each photo?!
Every time we look at our photos now (the ones they actually HAD, with the tacky blue curtains), I am reminded of the disappointing experience. For a company that gives off such a professional image, they should have better back-​up systems in place so that this doesn’t happen. There should not be a mere $ 150 compensation for machine malfunctions. At the very least, the refund should take into consideration how much time was lost (about ¼ of our time) and the amount should have been adequate enough so that you don’t feel that you’re overpaying for photos. Other businesses would have bent over backwards when they realized their errors and done anything to make the customers happy, since the fault was on their side, not just given you a refund of 18%.

In fall 2012 I attended a wedding with a photo booth from Photoworks. This was a new idea to me but what I really fell in love with was the scrapbooking aspect. Once I got the contact information I created an event in order to experience the fun for myself! After more than a year in planning, my partner and I celebrated our 20^th anniversary with a party complete with photo booth. The staff member, Scott, was incredibly efficient in setting up the booth and we were able to add our own photo-​worthy accents for people to try on along with the ones brought by the company. He was also very helpful to the guests who wanted to scrapbook but were creatively intimidated. Much to my surprise, when he presented the book at the end of the event he had used the photos my partner and I took at the start to create an opening page. It was fabulous! We also paid the $ 75 additional cost (totally worth it) so 2 copies of each session were printed. This way guests could have one to take home and one to scrap. And of course there are many that didn’t get scrapped but not to worry, also that night we received a thumb drive with all the photos. Can’t wait to finish the album and add all our other photos and memories!

I’m so glad we chose Photoworks for our wedding reception in October. Who doesn’t love a photobooth?! Our guests loved it, of course! The scrapbook turned our GORGEOUS! and hilarious. I highly recommend it if you can spend the extra cash. Everyone at Photoworks is easy to work with, friendly, helpful, and very professional.
I took off a star because we did not get double prints as mentioned in some previous comments and I was sort of expecting that, as were my guests. As a result, many of our guests didn’t want to provide their pictures in the scrapbook because they wanted a keepsake and the techs did not inform everyone that we would get a digital copy to share with them. I understand they may not want to say this in case the bride and groom get bombarded with people asking for their photos, but that’s why we thought there would be 2 copies, and we don’t mind e-​mailing them out at all… whatever makes for a more complete scrapbook.
They do not offer an idle time FYI. Not taking off a point for that, just info if you are trying to plan what time to have your booth available.
Make sure you get yourself in there! My husband and I got in early on, thank goodness, but the lines get crazy because it’s so fun :)
You could go with someone cheaper, but I promise you you get what you pay for!

These guys were awesome. We got a photo booth for our wedding reception which was outside, and alongside some lawn games, food, etc. It was the perfect addition to the event… all ages were having a blast, and coming back for more and more. We got double prints and a scrapbook table thingy so the guests could cut up one of their copies and create a page for us. The scrapbook is awesome, and the provided a thumb drive with the digital copies… including each individual photo, not just the full print with all 6 pics on them. Just that thumb drive was worth the money! But of course having that as attraction and then also each guest being able to take home pics was awesome. Hopefully I don’t have to get married again, but if I do, I’ll get another booth:)

I recently had my wedding and I used Photoworks for my photobooth. I wanted to create a specific design for the paper and PW worked with me to get the design right. Everyone i worked with was very professional and friendly-​Allison answer all my questions :-).
The photobooth was a hit! Everyone loves taking photos but also leaving a scrapbook message which was provided by Photoworks. After the wedding it was so much fun reading all the messages and seeing all the photos. I am so glad I went with Photoworks.

What a blast! I’m going to recommend these folks to everyone I know. I have not been in a photobooth for years– and at the Unilocal beerwalk I got to try one again. And they’ve become a lot more fun. The pictures were awesome and since we forgot our camera at home, this gave us a lovely artefact to scan and put on Facebook :-) Everyone in line with us was having a fantastic time with this.

Photoworks Interactive provided a photo booth at our August 2011 wedding in Los Altos. We actually saw them setting up for another wedding at the museum when we were choosing our reception venue. So, they were familiar with the location (knew where to set up a table, power supply, etc), which made us a bit more confident that they knew what they were doing.
The booth came with two attendants who help put together a wonderful scrapbook of photos taken throughout the night. I think the guys doing this actually like their job, because they aggressively get photos from all of the guests and make sure they’re in the book. My only complaint is that we were told all guests would get to keep a copy of their photos as well as get one in the book. Instead, many left empty-​handed when the attendants took their photos. I guess for two people, it’s easy to split the photos between the books and the couple, but it’s harder when 3 – 8 people are cramming in the booth. If I did it again, I would check to see if they can customize how many copies of the photos the printer spits out.
Ahead of time, Photoworks contacted us to choose a custom logo for our photos. They’re professional, have a backup booth in case their main one breaks down, and are responsive on emails as your big day nears. I’d recommend them if you want a fun photo booth at your wedding!

We had them at our wedding in July 2010. My guests had fun and they could take their pictures home as a wedding favor. They gave us a memorable scrapbook (with pictures and written wedding wishes from guests) right after the wedding reception was over. We got all the pictures, even if the guests didn’t put it in the scrapbook.
They were easy to book and we got a discount from the bridal faire.
What really pissed me off, though, was that they didn’t let my 73 year old parents take a picture at the end of the night. Come on! My parents waited til the end of the night because the lines were hella long, but geez… why turn down the parents of the bride??? Just ONE PIC??? They let a couple of kids (the same kids, btw) take 100 pictures all night but not one picture for my parents??? I wish my parents told me that when it happened.
I think they should give priority to the bridal party and parents. I also think they should limit the little kids who go in the booth. I was really upset to see the same picture of a little kid (s) over and over in the scrapbook.
I totally recommend having a photobooth at your wedding. You should just look for another company. If you want to stick with Photoworks Interactive, MAKE SURE you tell them who to prioritize.

Dear Paul at Photoworks,
Thank you SO much for providing one of your Photo Booths for the Club One Santana Row Unilocal*Elite Event. The 20 minutes that I spent in line to get to the front were worth it, because the quality of the images were spectacular! I love the fun logo in the center too! Photo Booths make any party more fun, and I will be sure to give you a call when I need to rent a photo booth! Thanks for the memories!
Sincerely,
Yvonne C.

I would agree with the regulation of the line…
other than that… super fab photos!!!

I’ve been to a couple weddings recently with photo booths and these guys were by far the best. I loved the inclusive photo booth service and the quality was top notch! I got the digital copy of me and my girlfriend in the photo booth from the bride and took the copy to Costco, enlarged it to a 11X 17 and gave it to my girl on her Birthday, what a hit!
I highly recommend PhotoWorks Interactive and compared to the other booth I saw, PhotoWorks blew them out of the water. i don’t remember the other company but their booth looked homemade, the photos looked homemade, and the service was mediocre. I recommend shopping around before you get a photo booth. Ask to see a sample of the photos, ask to see what the booth looks like and make sure to ask how long they’ve been in business. For my wedding I’m going with Photoworks because I’ve seen the competition and realized the difference in quality and service provided.

I rented a photobooth for my wedding and it was a HIT.
My package included:
— set up & delivery
— 5 hours unlimited access!
— 2 photo/​scrapbook attendants
— scrapbook materials: scissors, stickers, other fun scrapbooking paraphernalia
— A big huge leather portfolio that they stick all the photo pages people created in
— DVDs of ALL photos taken that night
— A table full of costumes which the guests LOVED
PROS
+ Excellent service pre and post event
+ 10 second development of 6 shots (great for large parties)
+ Excellent print quality (you can choose between white and black)
+ For you designers out there, they let me customize the middle section of the photo so it matched my wedding!
CONS
— they cant control what people do in the booth: X
Photoworks Interactive is nationwide. We booked them for our wedding and everyone LOVED it. It’s not as expensive as you would think for everything you get. My take on it is, if it helps generate a certain kind of atmosphere, then it is worth the money. I know there are cheaper alternatives out there, but the quality of the booth and the photos were so professional. People couldn’t believe how great the photos came out. And the development time was ridunkously fast. I had 470 people and imagine if they all had to wait 3 minutes each for their photos.
The attendants were so great! They helped people put their scrapbook pages together (this was basically our guestbook) and i loved that people were getting so creative. When my husband and I took a picture, the attendant even went into the back and got a 2^nd copy printed for us!
They told us theyve never had a wedding where there was no downtime, poor guys didnt even get to eat their meal. I guess our guests got our moneys worth!
