Retro Photo Booth Rental NYC & Long Island

A retro photo booth recreates the classic photo booth experience with modern technology. Ours is a handcrafted wooden booth on tripod legs, with a DSLR camera, professional lighting, and instant printing built into the old-school design. Photos are printed on classic 4×6 layouts or vintage film-strip formats.

Retro photo booths are perfect for weddings (especially rustic, vintage, or Great Gatsby-themed celebrations), corporate galas, milestone birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs, proms, holiday parties, and brand activations. The classic enclosed design works beautifully at both intimate gatherings and large-scale events across NYC, Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

The retro booth is an open-format setup — a wooden camera cabinet on tripod legs shooting against a backdrop, not an enclosed cabin. If you want a true enclosed booth with a curtain and classic photo strips, that is our separate vintage photo booth rental. The retro booth trades the box for old-school styling with room to fit bigger groups.

We offer a wide range of vintage effects including warm sepia tones, classic black and white, faded Polaroid, soft film grain, and retro color grading. Print layouts include traditional 4×6 prints, classic 2×6 photo strips (2-4 poses), and custom-branded templates. All prints are produced on professional dye-sublimation paper for lasting quality.
