What is an open-air photo booth?
An open-air photo booth is a photo booth with no enclosed cabin: a pro camera, studio lights and a backdrop set up in the open, so there's no curtain and no box deciding who fits. The whole group poses together, the room watches the fun, and prints come out on the spot.
An enclosed booth squeezes three people behind a curtain. Ours, the Open-Air Photo Suite, stands in the open: a handcrafted wooden set with studio lighting and a pro Canon camera, right in your venue. Ten friends fit as easily as two, and everyone watching wants in next.
One of our reviewers called it “such a unique set-up that you can't find anywhere else.” We just call it the corner of the room nobody wants to leave.
Prints drop in under 5 seconds, so the line keeps moving. With Signature and Deluxe, prints are unlimited (ten people in the photo, ten prints) and your private online gallery lands within 24 hours.
Viva vs the usual booth vendor
Two owners on site, one handcrafted booth. Here's what that changes on the night, side by side.
| Viva | The usual vendor | |
|---|---|---|
| Who shows up | Carlos and Ana, the owners. You talk to them before the day and they host your event in person. | Often a staffer you never spoke to, or a self-serve kiosk with nobody behind it. |
| The props | Viva Signature Accessories, plus the classic props people actually use, curated for your event. | Usually the same generic bin at every party. |
| The booth | A handcrafted wooden open-air set that becomes part of the room. | Often an iPad on a stand, or a box in the corner. |
| Camera and light | Pro Canon DSLR and studio lighting, so faces are sharp and evenly lit. | Varies, from a DSLR to a tablet camera and a ring light. |
| Prices | Published on this page, from $599. A written quote within 24 hours, travel and venue fees included up front. | "Request a quote", then a number that can move once the extras are added. |
| Custom print design | Made for your names, logo or theme, approved by you before the event (Signature and Deluxe). | Often a template with the vendor’s logo on it. |

We're based in Metro Vancouver and set up regularly in Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond and Langley, plus the rest of the Lower Mainland, and we've travelled as far as Hope, Kelowna and Squamish. Travel or venue fees, if any, are written into your quote before you book, never after.
About 6ft x 6ft of floor, and we adapt to almost any venue layout. We've set up in venues, at private parties, at outdoor events and even on boats, and we agree the exact spot with you before the day.
Yes, as long as it is under cover. A tent, awning or roof over roughly 6ft x 6ft of level ground keeps the booth out of the sun and the rain; we pick the spot and check the outlet with you before the day.
Setup and takedown are included in every package, and we arrive early enough to have the booth running before your guests reach it. The booth plugs into a regular wall power outlet, the same standard power every home and venue already has, so no special electrical connection is needed. We just confirm which outlet and the exact spot with you while we plan your event.
A pair, a family or a group of ten can step into the same frame, because there is no cabin wall in the way. With Signature and Deluxe, ten people in the photo means ten prints.
No. It's a real Canon DSLR with a pro lens and proper studio lighting, not a webcam or a tablet on a stand. Faces come out sharp and evenly lit, and the photos hold up in print and on screen.
Essential comes with a black or white backdrop; Signature and Deluxe open up more than 20 colours and textures. With Signature and Deluxe, the custom-designed print carries your names, logo or theme, and you approve it before the event.
Open-air, if your guests love group shots and you want the booth to add energy to the room. An enclosed booth suits a few people who want privacy, but it caps the frame at a handful of faces and hides the fun behind a curtain. Weddings, office parties and school nights usually want the opposite.
An open-air photo booth is a photo booth with no box and no curtain. The camera, lighting and backdrop are set up in the open, so a couple, a family or a whole team can step into one frame. Ours is a handcrafted wooden set, and it becomes part of the party instead of hiding in a corner.
