    Fotio- Cinelli Wedding 2023

    The pictures turned out incredible!! Definitely a highlight from the night and all the guests were raving about it! The attendant working the photos was so fun and helpful and made the process seamless! You also receive a link right away to view all of the photos as well as a USB to have and keep forever! We couldn't of been happier with how these turned out!

    100% book Fotio for your event!

    We booked Fotio for our wedding and were absolutely thrilled with the decision! Nick was super responsive in our initial communications and the actual Fotio attendant at our wedding, Kent, was amazing. Our guests had so much fun snapping photos and seeing them on the screen all night. Plus, you and all of your guests get to access and download the photos the next day. On the other hand, I'll be waiting 3 months before seeing the photos my other photographer took. I can already tell that some of the Fotio photos will be my favorites from the event. Could not recommend Fotio enough!!

    SO FUN! and SO Unique!

    Ok you guys... Fotio is great. First off, how unique?! the pics came out perfectly and literally all of our guests were obsessed! Fotio was so easy to work with; they were kind, helpful, and so organized. At the event, our fotio representative was very directive so you knew exactly how to pose. You know how sometimes you go to a photobooth and you arent ready for the pic? and then you have 3 great pics and one dumb one because you were mid sneeze? not with fotio! they help inspire you with poses and don't snap the pic until you are ready!
    same night, we had all of the pictures and the next day we had all of the digital copies.
    10/10 recommend!

    Awesome touch!

    I have to start by saying I initially did not want to do any sort of photo booth at my wedding and it was a "hard no" when people would ask if we were having one. However, after seeing Fotio at a friend's wedding, I started to get on board with the idea. It was classy yet fun! Not to mention the company is easy to deal with, prompt and reliable. My guests LOVED this photo booth with the attendant ( Kent was so great!!) and I have already given the info to my many family members up next to wed! Don't question it, book the FOTIO booth. Coming from someone who was totally not for it...it is worth it :)

    Voted best photo booth ever

    Fotio went above and beyond our expectations! We never thought a photo booth could be such a hit at our wedding. People commented on the wonderful props provided, the "old-timey" look, and the exceptional quality of the photos. I just wish my husband and I took more time at our reception to get more pictures! We loved going through the photos the next day (Bride and Groom get a USB with all the photos) since we were able to see how much fun everyone had! I originally thought a photo booth would be just an "ok" addition but I would 100% book Fotio for a wedding again! Our attendant was awesome and really got our guests into the photos. Loved all of it!

    Definitely worth it

    Having Fotio at our wedding was beyond great. We had them for an hour during cocktails and people were able to take nice photos while mingling. Then we had them during the reception, once the dancing started, with funny props and hats. We were able to get so many great photos of our friends and family that a regular photographer just wouldn't be able to get. I'll treasure these pictures forever!

    Best Photo Booth Ever!

    One of the best choices that we made for our wedding was to use Fotio as for our photo booth. From the beginning, we knew that we wanted a photo booth with classy photos that people would want to reuse after the wedding. Fotio provided just that.
    When we first reached out to Fotio, they knew exactly where to place their open-air booth. They provided me of examples from other weddings that they had handled, and they were super responsive.
    Haley was our day-of person. Everyone was obsessed with her. She had such good energy, she was good at pulling people into the booth, and she walked everyone through fun poses.
    The morning after the wedding, Fotio emailed a link to all of the photos to us and told us that they would be sending a USB.
    Your wedding day goes so quickly, and it’s impossible to get photos with everyone. Fotio’s photobooth gives you the opportunity to look back on your day and see how much fun all of your guests had. So many people came up to me afterwards and told me that they plan to use Fotio for their future weddings/events.
    I would recommend Fotio to anyone without hesitation. They were simply fantastic from start to finish.

    Book them now!

    Our wedding guests went CRAZY for Fotio... seriously one of the best decisions we made (and we almost didn't even have a photo booth). Not only did our guests have a blast, but Nick and team made them all look like models. Thanks to Fotio, we now have more than 900 hysterical and gorgeous pictures of our friends and family having fun. Also, they were super easy to work with!

    Fotio is hands down the best photo booth experience!!

    Fotio is the most fun photo booth you can have at a wedding! Zak was excellent at pulling in the wedding guests to get their photos taken throughout the night, and they kept coming back for more! The photos were posted online the very next day and Facebook was overrun with photo updates by the wedding guests with their beautiful new black and white profile pictures! We loved looking through all the photos after the wedding and seeing all the fun they captured. The photos were gorgeous! We would highly recommend Fotio to any bride or event.

    Unique Photobooth

    We used Fotio for our wedding at Salvage One in September 2018. Working with Nick was a breeze--communication was excellent. The pictures turned out great! Our guests received a link to all the pictures and we received a thumb drive as well. If you are looking for a unique photo booth for your big event, book Fotio!

    FOTIO WAS SO MUCH FUN! Our fotio pictures are up there with our professional wedding photos. We even made a photo book to remember them all. Fotio was fantastic, easy to coordinate with, and was a blast to have at the wedding. All my guests were raving. Worth every penny. :)

    We first encountered Fotio at an event at The Field Museum. We loved the look of the photos and knew we wanted to book for our wedding.
    Nick was so responsive and helpful through the whole process and Zak was amazing on site. Our photos turned out amazing and it was fun to see all our guests have a fun time with the props.
    Our photos were up on Facebook the next morning and it was fun to watch our friends change their profile pics to photos from our wedding.

    I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't sure if a photobooth was right for our wedding. But Fotio's staff was attentive and encouraging without being invasive or overbearing, and ended up capturing some of the best pictures of our guests. The way I see it, we had classic photographers to capture candid shots, and Fotio did a perfect job of capturing our friends' personalities in front of the camera. If you're considering Fotio, know that they were a wonderful addition to our wedding.

    We're so happy we made the decision to have Fotio at our May wedding at Salvage One. Nick was incredibly easy to work with from the start and it was so much fun having him man the camera at our wedding. Fotio fit perfectly with the Salvage One vintage vibe, and our guests had an absolute blast taking the pictures. The photos were available for almost instant download, and everyone loved posting them to social media. All pics are available online, but we also received a full flash drive of every single pic in color and black & white. So now we have some real keepers of our family, friends, and us, and even some of our vendors who popped in for some pics. We couldn't be happier with the experience, would highly recommend.

    Hands down the best photo booth experience ever. We used Fotio for our wedding and were beyond amazed! After going back and forth on they type of booth we decided giving our guests photos they can actually use was the right decision. Rachel was absolutely amazing - got the guests into it and truly did a wonderful job. The photos all looking amazing and everyone at our wedding can't stop raving about it!! Thank you!!

    Fotio was so easy to work with! Nick and his team do what they’re doing SO well! Something I loved but didn’t think about beforehand: The ‘camera’ fit seamlessly into our venue and the open booth wasn’t an eyesore like many other options. The pictures were great, and people loved being able to go online and download them as early as the next morning! So many people came up to us and told us they were amazed how good they made everyone look. Thank you so much Fotio!!

    My now-husband and I attended a wedding a few years ago that had Fotio as their photo booth, and after seeing the quality of photos they produced, we knew we had to have them at our wedding when the time came. Fast forward a couple of years to when we started planning our wedding, and Fotio was the first vendor we hired, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went.

    They were always quick to respond to emails, and were already familiar with our venue (Room 1520), so they knew exactly where and how to set up in that space. And they even threw in the use of their props for free when we offered to pay in cash. On the day of the wedding we had Rachel as our booth attendant (which I took as a good omen as that's my name, too), and she fit the vibe of our wedding perfectly; never over the top or annoying, but definitely helped to encourage people to tap into their goofy sides and try out different poses.

    The photos came out awesome, and they sent me the link to the full album literally the day after the wedding, so it was great to be able to share that with all of our guests right away to ease the pain of how long it takes for the professional photographer's photos to come in. Working with Fotio was possibly the easiest part of planning our wedding, and we couldn't recommend them more.

    Where do I even begin!? If you're looking for a unique photo booth option, THIS IS IT. We found Nick and Fotio at the PAWS Furball event last November and were toying with the idea of having a photo booth at our wedding. After seeing the quality of the images taken of us the next day, we knew it'd fit perfectly with our old Chicago theme and venue.

    Nick was absolutely great to work with and we have received SO many compliments on the photo booth we had at our wedding a few days ago. Every time I looked over or was around the booth, there was a long line of people to get their pictures taken. Our guests LOVED it. A ton of them posted their pictures on Facebook and Instagram and so many even made it their profile picture (including us)!

    We now also have a plethora of these fantastic images for our memories, which is such a treasure. We HIGHLY recommend Fotio and are trying to figure out how we can use them again in the future :)

    I've worked with Fotio professionally, hiring them for my student events, and have always had a great experience. I hired Fotio for our wedding a few weeks ago and had another exceptional experience! Nick is the best, making the booth super fun for everyone. Our guests LOVED how fun and different the booth was! The vintage props and old style camera were so fun for our vintage wedding. These photos also make everyone look perfect, amazing our guests. Nick is great at sending out the link to the photos the very next day, and includes a USB drive of all of the photos virtually immediately. A great addition to any wedding or event!

    Fotio was one of the highlights of our wedding!! I had seen them at a local art event and knew I needed them for my wedding, so when I got engaged, they were (not joking) the first vendors I contacted, trying to check their general availability for the following Fall even before I had a venue or date.

    This is not your average photo booth - first, there is no booth. They camera looks like an old large format camera with big bulb flash, but fully digital with a huge screen on the back where the photos are being displayed as a slideshow in realtime throughout the night - this will draw a crowd just watching the photos!

    The photos themselves are beautiful black and white, and very high quality. That combined with a bright flash makes everyone look gorgeous despite how weird (or drunk) they're being :P

    The staff was great - she was there early, blended right in with the guests, and did a great mix of firing off the photos and handing people the cord to take photos themselves. She'll also help guide guests in to silly photos if they're not feeling creative.

    People had so much fun with it. We put it right by the dance floor to guarantee a steady stream of fun photos.

    The best part? They were all upload and in my inbox before I even got out of bed the next morning! Photos from photographers can take up to a few months, so getting immediate photos helped hold us over.

    Also! There are no watermarks on the photos, and people can download the full sized photos for FREE. By the time I was back from my honeymoon, the thumb drive had arrived in the mail with all the photos.

    Kick back and relive the night, and watch as slowly all of your friends and family's facebook profile photos morph into gorgeous black and white wedding happiness. Thanks Fotio!

    Hands down some of the best money I spent on my wedding! The photos we got from Fotio are incredible, it's such a classier and more fun version of a photo booth. The set up has an extremely small footprint and it doesn't come with the tacky props like other booths. Our guests raved about Fotio at and after the event, and everyone was sharing the photos the next day on social media. It was a blast, and definitely one of our greatest memories of the event.

    Can't say enough great things about Fotio! The vintage-looking setup is great, and you get to see the images on a large screen after they've been taken which is perfect- guests would take a picture, run over to look at the shot, and then hop back in for more! And they provided props for us, which made the whole thing extra fun.

    It was a splurge purchase for us, for sure, but I think it was well worth it. The images are STUNNING, and the guests all had a blast with it! Several people commented on how much fun it was, and how much they loved being able to download the pictures themselves. In addition to being able to download the images from the website the next day, my husband and I also received a flash drive with the all the photos in both black & white and color.

    Highly recommend!

    These guys are top notch when it comes to having a photo booth at your wedding or event. From seeing their work at our friends wedding, to booking them and having them at our wedding, they are amazing! Nick was extremely responsive through email (even when he was on vacation) and by far was one of the highlights at our wedding. You also have to remember these guys aren't your typical photo booth, they make memories at your wedding by adding charm, laughter, and and props to your photos! The black and white photos make everything look so amazing as well. People still rave to me about how great these guys were a month after our wedding. If you're in the Chicago land are and want to book a photo booth for your wedding, these guys are a MUST have.

    If you are even remotely considering a photobooth at your event DO IT. This was a HUGE hit at our wedding. The pictures are flawless and so fun. The day after our wedding we hosted a brunch and had the gallery up on our TV playing for everyone to see. It was great to relive all the laughs. We are SO happy we decided to hire Fotio, they were a dream to work with and our guests LOVED it.
