Is Memories by Emory a Photo Booth?

While we do offer a photo booth option, our signature service is a Portrait Station. Unlike the typical photo booth, our Portrait Station is led by a professional photographer and fully equipped with studio-quality lighting, a signature backdrop, real-time retouching, and instant printing at your event. Think of it as a personalized, private portrait session, delivering photos that rival your wedding pictures.

Can you print extra copies for me?

Due to time limitations, we prioritize printing one set of photos for your guests during the event. However, for a lasting keepsake, we offer a beautiful 10×10” heirloom guestbook featuring all your portraits and handwritten messages from your guests.

What is the best time to start the session?

For weddings, we recommend starting just after the last speech, right before the dance floor opens. Cocktail hour is also a great time for other events. This ensures we capture all your guests in a relaxed, celebratory mood.

What are your set up and tear down times?

We typically need 1 hour to set up our studio and get everything prepped and ready. After the event, we require about 20-30 minutes to pack up and leave the venue.

What is your payment structure?

To secure your date, we require a non-refundable 50% deposit. The remaining balance is due 30 days before the event.
