If you thinking about hiring a photographer, throw out everything you have heard or was recommended and call Fotio. The patience with me - ahh, they were so kind when helping me set up the event. You have to understand this is a whole new way of having pictures taken at your event.
Kent was on time and took extra care that everything was set up properly. He really got my guests engaged, which was my main worry, but you could tell this was not his first rodeo. Everyone became really relaxed and some even resorting to mugging for the camera (which was the goal). The vintage looking camera is

We used Fotio for our wedding at Salvage One in September 2018. Working with Nick was a breeze--communication was excellent. The pictures turned out great! Our guests received a link to all the pictures and we received a thumb drive as well. If you are looking for a unique photo booth for your big event, book Fotio!

One of the best choices that we made for our wedding was to use Fotio as for our photo booth. From the beginning, we knew that we wanted a photo booth with classy photos that people would want to reuse after the wedding. Fotio provided just that. When we first reached out to Fotio, they knew exactly where to place their open-air booth. They provided me of examples from other weddings that they had handled, and they were super responsive.
Haley was our day-of person. Everyone was obsessed with her. She had such good energy, she was good at pulling people into the booth, and she walked everyone

The best service ever! I just love this concept. A great activity to provide at events. Rachel was our assigned photographer and such a fun person to work with. Her photographs were outstanding. From the time you request the quote to the end of your event, the customer service from all of the staff is outstanding. I'm so glad the venue management recommended Fotio. I would definitely hire this company again.

My wife and I attended an event for an organization I volunteer for where we were introduced to Fotio. Everyone looked so slick in crisp black and white and I honestly don't want to remember that event, or the same event a year later, in anything but black and white. Our first interaction with Fotio was enough for us to book them for our wedding as one of our first no questions asked vendors.
We attended the same event the second year and realized Haley had been the attendant both years. We loved her so much we emailed Nick at that event requesting Haley at our wedding. So many people commented

Anytime an event has Fotio there I know it's going to be a good night. It's a great opportunity to get your newest Yelp/Facebook/Instagram profile photo! Their camera looks like a vintage tripod that will flash you blind, but instead it has incredible quality with a black and white filter that illuminates you! Also, their props are always fun.

Love love love Fotio! After seeing them around the city, we had to have them at our November wedding. Nick was super easy to work with and asked all the right questions of our venue coordinator. Day of, Hailey set up inconspicuously during dinner and people were so stoked to get started. She interacted well with everyone and gave great pose ideas. YOU CANNOT TAKE A BAD PHOTO WITH FOTIO. I can't explain it. Is it the light? The props? The direction? No idea. All I know is we have printed about 500 of these babies for our album because they're so great. The best part for me was that they
