About PhotoPop

What makes PhotoPop different from other booths?
We use a professional DSLR camera rather than a webcam or tablet, with proper lighting and a high-speed dye-sublimation printer. The booth is fully automated, so guests operate it themselves without waiting for an attendant.
How long does setup take?
We arrive 30 minutes before your start time and have the booth live and tested in about 20 minutes. Teardown takes 15 minutes and happens after your guests are done.
Do you provide support during the event?
Yes. A dedicated attendant is included with Platinum and Diamond, and available on request for other packages. We also monitor the booth remotely and can talk your venue contact through anything minor.
How much space does the booth need?
About 8 feet by 8 feet, including room for guests to stand back. We can work with less — send us your venue dimensions and we will confirm the fit before the day.

Booking & Pricing

How do I get a quote?
Fill in the form on our booking page, or message us directly. We reply within two hours during the day.
Is the quoted price final?
Yes. Your quote covers the package and any add-ons you have chosen, including setup, teardown and travel within Colombo. Nothing is added afterwards unless you ask for something extra on the day.
Do you offer discounts?
We have early-bird rates for off-season dates (January to March, September to October), and corporate bookings are negotiable. Booking three or more events gets you 10% off the package price.
What is your cancellation policy?
A 50% deposit confirms your date and is non-refundable. Cancel more than 14 days before the event and the balance is refunded in full. Within 14 days, the balance is also due. See our Terms for the detail.
How far in advance should I book?
Four to six weeks is comfortable, and wedding season fills earliest. That said, we often have short-notice dates open — always worth asking.

Photos & Technology

How are the photos delivered?
Printed photos are handed to guests at the booth. Digital copies go out as a gallery link within 24 hours of the event — high resolution and downloadable.
Can guests share photos during the event?
Yes. Every print carries a QR code that opens the gallery, so guests can grab their photos and post them before the night is over.
What if a photo does not come out well?
We will reprint it, no charge. Print quality is checked at setup and monitored through the event.
Can I get all the photos on a USB drive?
A USB with all high-resolution files is included with Diamond. For other packages you get the same files through the online gallery, which you can download in full.
Can we put our logo on the photos?
Yes. A branded overlay is included from Gold upwards, and available as an add-on for Silver. Send us your logo and event colours and we will design it.

On the Day

What if the weather turns?
The booth needs cover. For outdoor venues we agree a sheltered position with you in advance, and if heavy rain arrives we can pause safely and resume.
How fast are the prints?
About six seconds per photo. That keeps the queue moving even at busy moments.
What if you run out of paper?
We bring spare paper to every event. For very high volume — over 200 prints — tell us in advance and we will load extra.
Do guests need instructions?
Rarely. The touchscreen walks them through it and most people work it out in about 30 seconds. We leave instruction cards at the booth as well.
What power do you need?
A standard 13A socket within reach of the booth. We bring our own extension leads and surge protection.

Venues & Partnerships

Do you travel outside Colombo?
Yes, anywhere in Sri Lanka. Travel is quoted separately for destinations like Kandy, Galle and further out.
Do you work with venues and planners?
We do. If you run a hotel, banquet hall or planning business, get in touch about partnership terms.
Can you do long-term placements?
Yes — shopping centres, showrooms and month-long activations. These are quoted individually, so email us with the dates and location.
Do you cover multiple events on the same day?
Sometimes, depending on timings and distance. Ask and we will tell you honestly whether we can do both properly.

Still have questions?

Ask us anything about your event — we would rather answer twenty questions than have you guess.
