Photo Booth Rentals for Events in Chicago & Nationwide
Bright Light Events & Entertainment rents photo booths for corporate events, weddings, birthday parties, fundraisers, and festivals across Chicago and the country. Our photo booth lineup includes the AI Instant Party Photo Booth, the Iris Photography activation, and the Photo Booth with Green Screen Technology — three distinct formats with different visual styles and guest experiences, all fully staffed and managed by our team. Photo booths are among the most reliable entertainment investments at any event: they require no warm-up, generate shareable content instantly, and create a guest-engagement zone that works throughout the event rather than during a single programmed slot. We handle setup, staffing, photo printing or digital delivery, and breakdown.
AI Instant Party Photo Booth
Our AI Instant Party Photo Booth is the most requested format in our current lineup — and for good reason. Using AI-powered image generation, guests step into the booth and receive a stylized, high-quality photo output that goes well beyond a standard snapshot. The results are immediately shareable, highly brandable, and generate social media content organically. For corporate events where you want branded takeaways, pair our photo booth with our custom branded event items — custom poker chips, playing cards, or branded table felts — for a cohesive keepsake experience that extends the brand impression well beyond the photo itself. The Knot identifies the AI photo booth as one of the top experiential additions to modern wedding receptions and social events.
Green Screen Photo Booth
Our Photo Booth with Green Screen Technology allows guests to place themselves in any background you choose — branded scenes, exotic locations, thematic settings that match your event décor, or custom branded imagery. Green screen booths are a strong fit for themed events, trade show activations, branded corporate events, and destination weddings where a custom backdrop creates a more memorable and shareable output. For events that want multiple high-tech guest experiences, our green screen booth pairs naturally with our high-end tech rentals and holograms — together they create a technology-forward guest journey from arrival through the close of the event. BizBash has featured the green screen photo booth as a top branded activation for corporate events and trade show floors.
Iris Photography & Premium Activations
Our Iris Photography activation creates striking, macro-level photographs of each guest's iris — a unique keepsake that no other photo format provides. This premium option is popular for VIP events, gala receptions, luxury brand activations, and events where the photo itself is meant to feel like a gift rather than a standard keepsake. Iris portraits are visually distinctive and highly social — guests consistently share them, and the conversation the photo generates extends the event's reach well beyond the venue. For events that also want a strong ambient visual element, Iris Photography pairs beautifully with our event décor rentals — uplighting and statement décor frame the photo activation space as a premium destination within the event. ILEA recognizes photo activations as a high-ROI investment for events where guest engagement and content creation are measurable goals.
