We make you
look great.
You’ve spent months planning your event, bringing together the people who mean the most to you. But when the day is over, all you have are fading photo booth prints that fail to capture the true essence of those moments.
A wedding isn’t just another event—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of your loved ones. The fleeting smiles, the heartfelt embraces, the joy shared on that day deserve more than just novelty snapshots. These memories are too precious to be captured by a generic photo booth, where the charm fades as quickly as the prints themselves.
Black & White Portrait Co. offers you something more meaningful. We bring the art of professional studio photography to your wedding or event, creating timeless, classic images that were once reserved only for celebrities. Our portraits are crafted with elegance and grace, capturing every laugh, every embrace, and every cherished face. With Black & White Portrait Co., you’re not just getting photos—you’re investing in memories that will last a lifetime, immortalized in portraits as unique and unforgettable as your story.
Why choose the
Black & White Portrait Co?
01
You desire a Unique and Unforgettable Experience.
Almost everyone has encountered the typical automated photo booth at events. However, the experience of a professional studio portrait station is truly one-of-a-kind, leaving a lasting impression on your guests and creating memories they’ll cherish for a lifetime.
02
You (and your guests) deserve VIP treatment.
Our portrait stations are staffed with friendly and skilled photographers who know how to bring out the best in everyone. We’ll surround your guests with flattering light and guide them to the perfect pose, creating stunning portraits they’ll love.
03
You want to give your guests the Ultimate Wedding Favor.
In addition to instantly receiving a digital download, every guest will leave with a high-quality full size print worthy of being displayed on their wall. While personalized wedding favors are a thoughtful touch, nothing compares to giving your guests their own professional portraits as a lasting memento of your special day.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is Black & White Portrait Co. a photo booth?You could call it that... but it's better. We go beyond the typical photo booth by bringing a full professional studio to your event. With expert lighting, our signature white backdrop, a skilled photographer, and on-site retouching and printing, we create personalized portraits of the highest quality, ready to be displayed in your home.
-
Why are you more expensive than other photo booths?We’re more expensive than other photo booths because we provide a premium, professional studio experience that automated kiosks simply can’t match. While cheaper options rely on basic setups and automated kiosks, resulting in generic and often disappointing photos, Black & White Portrait Co. offers a fully personalized service with skilled photographers and top-tier equipment. This allows us to create polished, posed portraits that capture the elegance and sophistication of your special day—something a standard photo booth just can’t achieve.
-
Will all of my guests get a print to take home?Yes! We bring enough supplies to ensure that every guest has the opportunity to walk away with a portrait they love. Guests are welcome to visit the portrait station as many times as they’d like within the timeframe we are hired for, allowing them to capture multiple looks or moments throughout the event. Our goal is to provide each guest with a timeless keepsake that they’ll cherish long after the celebration ends.
-
What areas do you serve?We are based in Pennsylvania but happily travel for weddings and events both nationwide and internationally. Whether your celebration is local or a destination across the globe, we’re ready to bring our luxury portrait experience to you.
-
When is the best time to shoot portraits?For weddings, the perfect time to start is right after the last speech, just before the dance floor opens, or during the cocktail hour. For Premium Sessions, we can be available during both cocktail hour and post-dinner entertainment.
-
What is your payment structure?We require a non-refundable 50% deposit at the time of booking to secure your date. The rest of the balance is due 14 days before your event.
-
What space requirements do you have?For the best experience and portraits, we need a clear, open space that's 10 feet wide, 10 feet long, and 10 feet tall against a solid wall—like a 10-foot cube. Make sure there's nothing in the way, including overhead items like chandeliers.
-
Do you need power?Yes. We need to have access to a standard three-prong (grounded) power outlet. We typically bring 25' of extension cable but anything above that will need to be provided by the client or venue.
-
Can the portrait station be outside?Since our setup is sensitive to weather (like rain, wind, and sunlight), outdoor setups must be fully covered. We'll decide if it’s possible on a case-by-case basis.
