Most photo booth pricing pages are useless. They say "starting at" without telling you what you get. Or they hide the real numbers behind a contact form. This page does not do that.
These are the actual prices for PostMeBooth editorial coverage in Los Angeles. The numbers are public because the product is straightforward. Full-frame Sony A7IV portraits. 60-second delivery. Permanent archive.
What a rental photo booth actually costs in LA

A premium photo booth runs $1,200 to $2,000. Slightly better camera. Maybe a GIF mode. Still a plastic enclosure. Still thermal prints. Still no archive.
