About

We are an owner operated photo booth company servicing the four state area including the Eastern panhandle of WV, Northern VA, Central MD, South Central PA, and the DC/Baltimore area. Coming from a background in fine art photography and have put a lot of effort into creating a booth environment that combines studio quality lighting with professional photo equipment. Having high resolution, good quality images grew out of our love for portrait photography. People are the most interesting subjects on earth, each with their own personality and humor. Photo booths are a fun, creative way to have people let down their guard people candidly. The photo booth does not replace traditional photography at your wedding or event, but supplements it in a memorable way. We often have people tell us that they hate their picture being taken but keep returning to the booth throughout the night to get more pictures! The fun, spur of the moment shots that are taken are often not able to be captured in any other way. We are committed to excellent, personal service as we work with you to best meet the needs of your event. Our photo booth comes with lots of props (special requests encouraged) and personalized artwork on the bottom of the photo strip displaying the name of your event, company logo, or simple message. We attend our booths personally (not sending hired attendants) and we are on site throughout your event to ensure the highest quality of service. This makes the planning of logistics and the honoring of special requests seamless, as we will be the ones communicating with you both before and during your event. We understand the logistics and flow of an event and are flexible and able to adapt to last minute changes.

Superb Service with the Best Props

Laura and Seth did a fantastic job with our wedding! They came highly recommended by my friend who used them for his wedding, and I'm so glad we used them for our wedding too. Laura and Seth were very communicative and flexible and worked with us to personalize the photo strips in a professional and thoughtful manner a few weeks prior to the wedding.

They had a large selection of props that were clean and well maintained. Laura and Seth did an amazing job with our ~160 guests and kept the line/ wait to take photos to a minimum. Every guest in the photo received a copy of the picture, which was a huge bonus. The photo quality was excellent and the online album was a fun addition to relive our special day. If you're looking to add a memorable touch to your event, we highly recommend Laughing Hat!

Such a Great Time!

We contracted with Laughing Hat for my daughter's wedding and what a great decision! Seth and his wife were terrific to work with and they really made an effort to get all of the guests included in the photo booth. We had such great feedback from guests on how much fun they had in the photo booth. The memory book made for a great alternative to a traditional guest book and my daughter and son-in-law loved it! I highly recommend Laughing Hat for a fun time!

Laughing Hat is the BEST Photo Booth in the DMV!

Laughing Hat Photo Booth is the absolute best photo booth you can get in DC/Maryland/Virginia! If you need a photo booth, Seth and Laura will provide a great experience from the planning process to the day of the event. Their attention to detail is unparalleled and they were able to perfectly match our wedding decor/vibe with their custom props. When many photo booths will phone it in on the props, ie flimsy paper props and old used hats, Laughing Hat makes sure that each prop is high quality and on theme to your event. The solid color backdrops that are offered for the booth are gorgeous and make for really great pictures. The quality itself of the photos are amazing and they give a digital copy of everything. Seth and Laura worked the booth themselves and were a pleasure to have at our event. 10/10 would recommend!

Wonderful!!

My sister hired Laughing Hat for her wedding and when I saw the number and variety of props and signs I knew I also wanted them for my wedding. Seth and Laura went above and beyond - they were responsive, they listened to our requests and were awesome to work with. On the day of the wedding, they were great with our guests and even made sure that my husband and I as well as the bridal party had the chance to take pictures beforehand at the booth. All the guests loved and enjoyed the photobooth and they did an excellent job with the signed guestbook as well. The quality of the photos were perfect! I would recommend Laughing Hat to anybody - they are the best photobooth vendor out there and just all around great people (they even checked in with me to ask if I needed water or anything else right after the ceremony).

You won't regret booking Laughing Hat!

We were on the fence about whether to hire a photobooth, but are so glad that we did and that we chose Laughing Hat. Seth and Laura are so nice and easy to work with, the photos are extremely high-quality, and the props are fantastic. We got a photobooth guest book, which I would definitely recommend, and it is such a great memento from our wedding and we got to see how much fun our guests had, ranging from our youngest guests to oldest guests to everyone in between.

Amazing People Amazing Results!

Seth and Laura are the BEST! Not only were they flexible with me and my indecisiveness in where I wanted them to set up, but they are extremely professional and have EVERYTHING you need for a perfect event! All my guests had the BEST time with the photo booth and I LOVE looking through all of the photos! They made custom labels on the photo strips, custom backdrop colors and even had custom props! I highly recommend them and would host events just to have them there again! They are the nicest people and you can tell they truly love what they do!

Best photobooth with amazing props!

When I was planning my July 2022 wedding, I remembered that my cousin had hired The Laughing Hat for her wedding several years prior. I remember thinking their setup and props were lovely so I reached out. Luckily, they were available!
Working with Seth and Laura was a breeze. They were extremely responsive and professional and worked with me on every single detail of the event. I am very detail-oriented and they were just amazing to work with. They customized the backdrop for the photobooth and the artwork, logo, and font for the photostrip printouts!
The Laughing Hat has a beautiful indoor photobooth option but they also have an incredible outdoor camper photobooth that I knew would be amazing for our event, which had a lot of national park and hiking themed touches. The day of our wedding it was calling for rain, but Seth and Laura stayed in close contact via text throughout the day in case we needed to set up inside last minute. The weather held off and the camper was just perfect.
The props are beautiful, clean, and high-quality. Seth and Laura even created custom props with our names on them and more. They went above and beyond and brought additional props that we hadn't even discussed! They were amazing!
We opted for the guest book, which I highly recommend. At the end of the night, we had a beautiful guest book with all photos taken that night and notes from our family and friends. We also got a separate print of each photo and digital copies. The digital copies were available quickly and Seth and Laura even went through the bunch and removed unflattering photos (ones where my eyes were half-open!).
I can't say enough wonderful things about their business and the experience. Please hire them. You will not be disappointed!!

Excellent Experience!! Highly Recommend!

Having Laughing Hat at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Seth & Laura were incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout the whole planning process, and they created a fun and personalized experience for us and our guests. It was truly one of our favorites parts of the wedding, and we love that we have all of the photo strips as mementos from the day! The photos themselves were also the highest quality I've seen from photo booths. We were so happy with our experience with Laughing Hat; highly recommend them for any event!

Fun, Helpful and Many Guests Favorite Part

We cannot say enough good stuff about Laughing hat. Seth and Laura were helpful and friendly, assisting guests with their prop choices and even bringing a plate to us when we were cutting the cake and not quite prepared. So many of our guests commented that the photo booth was their favorite part, and looking at the pictures that we got back it's clear that everyone had an absolute blast taking pictures in the booth. They are a great value, fantastic addition to any party, and we really loved having them there.

Made all the difference at our wedding…

They were the piece that brought everything and everyone together - it was a main attraction. They had a variety of props to choose from; the quality of photos was superb; the added photo guest book was a nice touch - they printed the photos and added them to a photo book where people got to sign and leave us notes. The Laughing Hat Photo Booth staff were so kind, professional, and attentive. I cannot recommend them enough!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
