Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

We are local to the Clarence Valley, specifically Grafton. We service the entire Clarence Valley and extend as far south as Coffs Harbour. We aim to impress you and your guests with the best photobooth experience in the area! For any events more than an hour from Grafton CBD, a travel fee may be applicable. Please enquire for further information.

Do you have the Kardashian Black & White Filter?

Yes, we do! Our clients can select the skin-blurring, black & white filter for Kardashian-like social selfies! It is our most popular filter for many events!

How much space is required for the photobooth?

We recommend approximately 3m x 3m of space to deliver an upscale experience for your event. We require a space within 10m of a General Power Outlet. Also, we always prefer to set the backdrop stand up against a wall, to ensure the highest quality photo results.

Do you have a green screen backdrop?

We do! Let us know if you want to use the green screen backdrop and we’ll add it to your booking details!

Can the photobooth be used outdoors?

Yes, so long as we can set up the photobooth under a shelter whereby the equipment is protected from wind, rain, sun, dew and dust. As with indoor venues, we will require a General Power Outlet within 10m. To ensure the highest quality results, the backdrop stand should be set up against a wall and flat ground is best.

Can you customise the photo print layout?

Absolutely! Each package includes a personalised template for your prints! We can provide a printed message, event details or decorative design. We want you and your guests to enjoy the photos for years to come!

Do you offer discounts?

Yes, for humanitarian non-profits, just get in touch with us! Social Selfies Modern Photobooth Hire loves to support causes on a mission to make the world a better place!

How do I book with Social Selfies Modern Photobooth Hire?

Have a look at our different packages and consider whether you would like any Optional Extras. Familiarise yourself with our Terms & Conditions. Contact us via Instagram, website or e-mail socialselfies@outlook.com with details of your event. Once we advise whether your preferred time and date are available, we will require payment of a $300 non-refundable deposit to confirm the booking. After that, we can continue to discuss your preferences up until the event, to ensure smooth delivery of the photobooth service.

What is an open air photobooth?

A fresh take on a traditional concept, like a mini photo studio for your event! We have a professional set up with backdrop, digital SLR camera, modern software and printer, for a fully automated experience with space for up to 12 people! Social Selfies also provide stylish stanchion posts and rope to mark the photobooth perimeter and deliver an efficient service. Your guests will be enticed to join in on the fun so you get the most out of the service!

What if I need to reschedule my event?

We understand! If you notify us at least 12 hours before the arranged hire session, we will happily reschedule your booking! If the new date is unknown, we will keep your payment in credit for future use.

Can I choose the backdrop?

Absolutely! We boast a large selection of sophisticated backdrops, which you can view here. Let us know your choice and we’ll add it to your booking details!

When will the photobooth arrive at the event?

Our Social Selfies photobooth attendant will arrive thirty minutes to an hour before the hire session and generally pack up to leave once the hire session has concluded. We set up and pack away the equipment outside of your hire session time, so you enjoy the use of the photobooth for the number of hours included in your package! The hirer may request an extension of time on the day, as an Optional Extra. Find out more about our Optional Extras here.

Do you provide props?

Of course! We have a selection of handmade and externally sourced props to suit various events.

Are pets allowed?

Social Selfies LOVES pets! All well-behaved pets are welcome to join you for photos. FUN FACT: 20% of your booking fee is donated directly to local animal shelters or RSPCA NSW!

How do we use the photobooth?

There will always be a friendly booth attendant from Social Selfies present to ensure the service is running smoothly! They will explain how the photobooth works and can assist by operating the touch screen. The professional software will start a countdown on the touch screen and take a sequence of photos. You will be able to view the photos taken on the screen afterwards and receive a printed copy.

What happens if one of the guests damages your equipment?

Unfortunately, the hirer will be responsible for any expenses incurred as a result of damage to our equipment by any guests. Additionally, the Social Selfies photobooth attendant reserves the right to halt the hire service if they suspect a risk to equipment or people.

Do you require power?

Yes, we will need to set up the photobooth within 10m of a General Power Outlet. We need just 1 x stable 10 amp (240v) standard power socket for our equipment. Our reliable electrical hardware has been sourced from within Australia.

Can the photobooth be used upstairs?

Yes, if the location is wheelchair accessible!

What will our photos be printed on?

Your photos will be printed instantly on high quality DNP photo paper. The standard shape is our Post Card print (4x6”) or you can request Mini Strip (2x4”) formats.
