Questions we get asked

( 01 )

Booking is easy! Simply reach out to us with your event date, location, and the type of celebration you’re planning. We’ll help you choose the package that best fits your event, send over your agreement, and once your agreement is signed and your 50% retainer is received, your date is officially reserved.

( 02 )

Yes! We require a 50% non-refundable retainer and signed agreement to officially reserve your date. Until both are received, your date remains available for other clients to book.

( 03 )

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weddings, holiday events, and popular dates in the Lake Tahoe-Reno and Northern Nevada areas. While we’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when we’re available, booking early gives you the best chance of securing your preferred date and package.

( 04 )

Absolutely! We understand that event plans can change as your date gets closer. If you’d like to add additional hours, prints, a guest book, props, or another add-on, just let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request based on availability.

( 05 )

We offer modern, professional photo booth experiences designed for different types of events. Our Social Booth is perfect for smaller, intimate celebrations, while our Premier Package is designed for larger weddings and corporate events. We also offer Brand Activation experiences and our Travel Booth for remote and destination events.

( 09 )

Absolutely! We travel up to 50 miles for local events from Carson City, NV. Locations beyond 50 miles may require an additional travel fee. For destination weddings, remote mountain venues, and events farther from our local service area, we recommend booking our Travel Booth Package.

( 10 )

Yes! If your event location doesn't have convenient access to power, we offer an Off-Grid Power Add-On using portable electric power. This is especially helpful for outdoor weddings, mountain venues, remote gatherings, and other off-the-beaten-path events.

( 11 )

Yes, outdoor events can be accommodated depending on the location and conditions. Because our equipment needs to be protected from the elements, we’ll work with you to determine the best setup location and any requirements needed to keep your photo booth experience running smoothly. Desert Glow Photos does not refund for inclement weather. We also cannot guarantee photo quality due to inconsistent lighting outside. We recommend having a backup plan for location in the event of inclement weather.

( 12 )

We require a dedicated 15 or 20 amp 120v (USA Standard) three-prong outlet for power, and a 10x10x10 space for setup. The actual unit will be set back roughly 4-7 feet from the backdrop. If you have props, we also will need additional space for a table up to 6 feet (table to be provided by client).
