When most people think of a photo booth, they imagine the classic enclosed box where two or three people squeeze in for a quick snap. Event entertainment has evolved, and today’s booths are bigger, sleeker, and far more versatile. One of the most popular options we provide at Pink Caviar Events is the Open Air Photo Booth, a stylish, flexible choice that captures memories and keeps guests entertained.
What Is an Open Air Photo Booth?
As the name suggests, an open air photo booth isn’t confined to walls. Instead, it’s a modern, free-standing setup where guests pose in front of a backdrop or the natural surroundings of your venue. This design is inclusive and social, making it easy to capture everything from intimate duos to large groups.
Compact enough for smaller venues yet powerful enough to deliver high-quality images, instant prints, and digital sharing, our booth is ideal for gala dinners, end of year celebrations, and corporate events. It’s a versatile way to add fun and interaction to any occasion.
Large Group Photos
One of the most significant advantages of an open air photo booth is its ability to capture groups. Unlike traditional enclosed booths that limit how many people can squeeze inside, this setup allows for larger, more dynamic shots.
With just a couple of metres in front of the backdrop, you can comfortably fit 10–15 people. Need more space? The booth can be pulled back to include even bigger groups. This flexibility makes it a favourite for corporate parties, gala dinners and award nights, and end of year celebrations — events where team photos, laughter, and shared memories are all part of the fun.
Easy To Work With In Tight Spaces
An open air photo booth is roughly the size of a fridge, which means it can fit into tight venues where traditional enclosed booths won’t work. This compact design makes it a smart option for spaces like conference rooms, cocktail lounges, or restaurants that don’t have much floor space to spare.
Because there’s no bulky structure to build, setup is quick and efficient. Whether you’re hosting a corporate event, conference, or end of year party, the booth can be placed almost anywhere without interfering with the flow or styling of the room.
Takes Advantage of Natural Backdrops
Unlike enclosed booths that rely on a curtain, an open air photo booth makes it easy to use your venue as the backdrop. Hosting your event in a historic building, a vineyard, or a rooftop with sweeping city views? These natural settings can become part of the photos, adding character and authenticity.
For a more styled approach, our team can provide creative photo booth backdrop ideas to match your event’s theme. Whether it’s elegant draping for a gala dinner or branded walls for a product launch, the backdrop can be tailored to reflect the mood and style of your occasion. The result: photos that capture both your guests and the unique atmosphere of your event.
Green Screen Fun
One of the standout features of an open air photo booth is its ability to use a green screen. With a wider open backdrop, you’re not limited to plain curtains — instead, you can transport guests anywhere. From branded corporate graphics to themed virtual scenes, the possibilities are endless.
This feature is particularly popular for corporate event entertainment, where companies want to include logos, products, or campaigns in the background. It’s also a fun addition to end of year parties, creating memorable and creative photos. Just a quick tip: let your guests know not to wear green unless they want to blend into the background!
Photobombing Fun
An open air photo booth keeps the fun out in the open, which means spontaneous photobombs are always welcome. Unlike enclosed booths where the action is hidden, this setup invites guests to jump into photos unexpectedly — creating laughter, surprises, and plenty of candid moments.
This playful element adds to the atmosphere of corporate parties, gala dinners, and end of year events. It encourages more interaction between guests, making the booth not just a photo station but a hub of entertainment where everyone feels part of the action.
Perfect for Corporate Branding & Events
An open air photo booth is more than just fun — it’s also a powerful branding tool. With options like custom print templates, branded overlays, and green screen backdrops, every photo can carry your company’s logo or message. Guests walk away with branded keepsakes, while digital copies shared online continue promoting your business long after the event ends.
This makes the booth an ideal feature for conferences, product launches, and gala dinners. It blends entertainment with marketing impact, creating an experience that’s both engaging for guests and valuable for your brand.
Instant Sharing & Social Media Fun
Modern open air photo booths go beyond instant prints — they allow guests to share their photos straight to social media, email, or SMS. This makes it easy for attendees to post highlights in real-time, amplifying your event’s reach online.
For corporate parties, end of year celebrations, or gala dinners, this instant sharing creates excitement and encourages engagement well beyond the venue. Paired with branded templates or event hashtags, your booth becomes both an entertainment feature and a marketing tool.
Bringing People Together With Open Air Photo Booths
An open air photo booth is more than a photo station — it’s an experience. From large group photos and spontaneous photobombs to branded keepsakes and instant social sharing, it adds energy, creativity, and connection to any occasion. Whether it’s a conference, gala dinner, product launch, or end of year celebration, this modern booth turns moments into memories while enhancing your event’s atmosphere.
