360 Booth + Photographer: The Best-Value Combo for NJ Events
Why pairing our 360 photo booth with an event photographer is the smartest money you can spend on a New Jersey event: bundle pricing ($450 / $600 / $825), what each covers, how the two work together on the night, and the real savings versus booking separately.
Most hosts book entertainment and photography from two different vendors, on two timelines, with two deposits and two travel fees. We do both: a slow-motion 360 video booth run by a pro attendant, and WDK Photography, our in-house event photographer. Booked together, photography drops from $125/hour to $100/hour — and the night gets covered from two angles at once.
The bundles, in plain numbers
- Essential bundle — $450. 2-hour 360 booth + 2 hours of photography. Booked separately: $500. Save $50.
- Signature bundle — $600. 3-hour 360 booth + 3 hours of photography. Booked separately: $675. Save $75. Our most popular.
- Premium bundle — $825. 4-hour 360 booth + 4 hours of photography. Booked separately: $925. Save $100.
Every bundle includes everything the 360 packages include — attendant, custom overlay, unlimited spins, instant text and email delivery, online video gallery — plus the full photography deliverables: a professionally edited gallery within 7 days, online gallery with downloads, print rights, candid and posed coverage and a shot-list consult. One deposit, one agreement, one travel fee. Full details on the event photography page.
Why the two work so well together
The booth captures the party; the photographer captures the people
A 360 booth is the best thing on the floor for energy: groups pile on, the arm orbits, and the clip is on their phone before they step off. What it does not do is photograph the ceremony, the toast, the grandparents at table nine or the cake. A photographer does — quietly, without stopping the party. Together you get the shareable video and the keepsake photos, with no gap in the middle.
One timeline, no vendor juggling
Our photographer and our attendant arrive together and work the same plan. The photographer covers arrivals, formals and the first big moments; the booth opens once guests are loose. During dinner the photographer is shooting tables and details while the booth idles. When dancing starts, both are busy. You talk to one person and get one invoice.
Both galleries, one place to share
The 360 clips land in your private video gallery the same night. The edited photo gallery follows within 7 days, online, downloadable, with print rights. One link for the family group chat, one for the vendor team, one for the LinkedIn recap.
What it looks like at real NJ events
- Sweet 16 in Edison, Signature bundle: photographer on the grand entrance, candle ceremony and family formals; the booth runs through the dance party. $600 + $25 travel = $625.
- Wedding in Red Bank, Premium bundle: 4 hours of photography from first look through the toasts, 4 hours of booth from cocktail hour through dancing. $825, travel free (within 25 miles of Jackson).
- Company holiday party in Jersey City, Signature bundle: headshots-on-the-fly and the awards for the photographer; branded spins for the booth. $600 + $25 travel = $625 — and marketing has both galleries by the following week.
When photography-only makes more sense
Some events do not have room for a 10 × 10 ft booth, or the guest list skews toward a crowd that would rather have portraits than spins. For those we book WDK Photography solo at $125/hour: 2 hours $250, 4 hours $500, or the 6-hour full-event package at $700 ($50 off the hourly rate). Same gallery, same print rights, same 7-day turnaround.
Two things to know before you book
- Availability. Photography is subject to our photographer's availability — one person, popular Saturdays. We confirm within 24 hours of your request. If she is booked, the 360 booth can still be reserved on its own.
- Hours do not have to match. The bundles pair matching hours because that is what most events need, but extra photography hours are $100/hr with the booth. Four hours of booth and six of photography is a normal wedding mix — tell us the timeline.

Pick 360 + photographer bundle on the booking page — it checks our calendar live and there is no payment to inquire. Or text (848) 34-PARTY with your date, town and venue and we will reply with the total for the booth, the photographer, or both.
