Use hardware you already have
Build a simple booth around a supported tablet, stand, light, and backdrop.
Photos stay organized
Booth photos join the same event gallery as mobile guest uploads.
Flexible styling
Choose a backdrop and lighting that match the event rather than a fixed rental booth.
Works alongside roaming photos
The booth adds a focal point while guests keep contributing candid shots from their phones.
How it works
From setup to shared memory.
Build the station
Place the tablet securely at a flattering height with steady light and a clear backdrop.
Open Photo Booth Mode
Connect the station to the Capture event and run several test shots before guests arrive.
Share every shot
Guests use the station and their photos flow into the event collection automatically.
A booth without an isolated gallery
Traditional booths often deliver a separate download after the event. Capture keeps booth photos beside guest uploads, messages, and the rest of the event story, making the final collection easier to browse and export.
The station is also optional rather than exclusive. Guests can use the booth for deliberate group portraits and keep using the event QR code for candid photos everywhere else.
Simple setup makes better photos
Use a stable stand, a clean lens, soft front-facing light, and enough space for small groups. Avoid placing the booth directly in front of a window or in a narrow route used by catering staff.
Assign one person to check the tablet battery and framing during the event. A small prompt card with two or three pose ideas can help guests start without creating a long queue.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need for a DIY tablet photo booth?
A supported tablet, stable stand, reliable power, flattering light, and a simple backdrop are the essentials. Props are optional.
Do booth photos go into the event gallery?
Yes. Photo Booth Mode is designed to add its images to the same Capture event collection.
Does this replace a professional photo booth?
It can replace a basic self-serve booth when you value flexibility and one shared gallery. A staffed booth may still be preferable for specialist lighting, instant prints, or custom physical sets.
Can guests still upload from their own phones?
Yes. The booth and QR code guest uploads can run together throughout the event.
