About

Photo In A Box is a wedding photo booth company based in Washington, DC, featuring open-air and close booth options with premium props. Guests can capture silly moments with funny hats, glasses, and oversized plush characters, adding to the fun of the big day. A photo booth is an excellent alternative for guests who prefer not to dance, or for the happy newlyweds to catch their breath in between their favorite songs. This company promises to deliver a high-quality and professional experience for all.

Services Offered

Photo In A Box offers rental packages for photo booths, complete with a full-time attendant. The company will deliver, set up, and manage the booth for the duration of the rental period. Couples can customize their booth from a selection of backdrops. Media services include prints, video messages, a scrapbook, and a final thumb drive of all the photos.

Want to keep it simple? How about an all digital selfie booth for fun Gifs, Boomerangs, and Video messages! With or without props this option has become a new favorite option for weddings and parties.

Audio Guest Books

I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to articulate my thoughts onto paper. And ever since spell check came around, I'm always second-guessing my speling. See what I did there ;) Check out our all-new audio guest book that allows your guests to speak freely by leaving a voicemail on one of our cool rotary phones. Relive the hilarious, touching, and most likely many awkward moments for years to come.

Amazing crew

Mike and his team were so incredibly thoughtful in terms of setting up the booth to our liking, having props available, being there to explain how to best utilize the booth, printing out pics, making a scrapbook…. they added so much to our party! Phenomenal service all around ❤️.

Best photobooth experience

We chose Photo in a Box due to how friendly Mike is and how customizable the experience is as well. It never once felt like he was trying to pressure us to do more, and we got all the information we needed to just pick a package that worked for us. All the guests loved it and had so much fun, the lines moved quickly and we had boomerangs and short videos included too. We had all our photo strips, guest book, and digital files by the end of the night. Really couldn't recommend more!

The Best Photo Booth Vendor!

If you’re thinking about hiring a photo booth vendor for any DMV event, definitely book Photo In A Box now!! I hired them for my September 2024 wedding, specifically the enclosed photo booth, and it was a huge hit at my event! They have so many fun props, the digital and printed photos are fantastic quality, and the photo booth itself is well-maintained and super clean!

Mike is fantastic and made the entire process so easy! From initial booking up to the event day, Mike was extremely communicative, helpful and professional throughout the whole process. He was there on the event day as an attendant and helped guests whenever needed, kept the props clean & organized, and ensured guests got their photocopies. Photo in a Box is an amazing vendor and I highly recommend them!!

Great work & incredible experience

We used Photo in a Box for our wedding in May 2024. From the get-go, communication with Photo In a Box was easy and professional. When I mentioned my desire for a simple white background, Mike said it was no problem and he was happy to add it to his inventory. Mike also did a fantastic job matching the aesthetic of the photo strip design to the description/samples I had sent him, since we had wanted it to go well with the rest of our signage. We absolutely loved having the guest book of photo booth strips - it has been so fun to go back and look at all the pictures! Overall fantastic experience, we cannot recommend enough.

Worth every penny and then some!

This photo booth was so much fun, and Mike was wonderful to work with! It helped even the more shy guests open up and be a little silly, and really brightened the atmosphere at our reception. Mike did a great job on the photo strip designs and they made fantastic souvanirs for people to take home.

Just outstanding!

We used Photo In A Box for our end of year party and we are so happy that we did. Mike and his team were extremely professional and were so accommodating. We loved the prop selection and the photo quality was better than the other photo booths we have used in the past. I hope we can work with them again next year!

One of the best vendor decisions we made!

For months, my husband and I agonized over whether to get a photo booth for our wedding. We knew that our guests wanted it, but all the options we found seemed expensive and lackluster. We were honestly at the point of just giving up—until we finally found Photo in a Box!

Photo in a Box gave us EVERYTHING we were looking for and more. First, they had a booth option that could print actual, physical photo strips, which we knew that our guests really wanted. Second, they could personalize and design your photo strip to your liking, which meant that the final product actually looked nice, rather than like something produced by Microsoft Word clip art. They also did not insist on including their company’s logo on the photo strip, which inevitably looks intrusive and tacky. Third, their prop chest was EXCELLENT and well-stocked—the props and costumes were things that our guests were actually excited about using, rather than just cheap and generic signs and sunglasses. Finally, we were pleased to discover that the photo booth images were surprisingly flattering and high quality! In fact, while we were waiting for our professional photography images to come out, my husband and I shared one of the photo booth shots with some friends and family and they were all shocked to learn that it came from the booth camera.

The process of working with Photo in the Box was also so easy and stress-free. Mike was incredibly responsive and communicative over email and answered every question I had (even when they were dumb). He provided us a link to the online gallery with all of our guests’ photos, photo strips, GIFs, boomerangs, and video messages literally one day after the wedding. But what we appreciated most was how much Photo in a Box provides you as their client without nickel and diming you for every extra feature. For example, even though we just booked the standard package, Photo in a Box provided us with magnetic sleeves that guests could put their photo strips in/use to stick on their fridges; a leather-cover guestbook as a keepsake for us (the booth would print out two copies of the photo strip: one for the guest to take home and one to put in the guestbook); and a variety of pens that guests could use to write messages in the guestbook. Mike also completely took care of set-up and break-down, and was on-site during the entirety of our rental time to hype people up for the booth and show them all the different features. Finally, though we didn’t end up using this option, Photo in a Box allows you to shut down the booth for an hour during dinner time without charging you for extra rental time (as long as you provide a vendor meal for the photo booth attendant)—that way, you can maximize your photo booth rental time for when guests will be most likely to use it.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Photo in a Box! Despite the fact that we almost didn’t hire them, they ended up being one of the best vendor choices we made for our day (and all our guests wholeheartedly agree!). I’d recommend them in a heartbeat!

I worked with Will from Photo In A Box for two weddings on successive nights. I made announcements regarding the photobooth throughout the evening and the guests enjoyed using the props for their photo-ops. Will provided a book to mount the photo strips and write a message to the bride & groom - each guest also received a strip to keep. I occasionally have clients who seek photobooth services and I'll gladly refer them to Photo In A Box for future events!

Photo In A Box is a perfect photo booth to have at any event you are hosting. They are a pleasure to work with and the quality of the pictures are great!
