The Retrobooth
Durban Photobooths for Weddings
The Retrobooth earns its keep in the part of the night when the speeches are done and nobody wants to sit back down. Weddings, 21sts, matric dances, birthdays and year-end parties — anywhere in Durban where guests will happily queue for a print with their own faces on it.
What you get
The Retrobooth
About our photobooths
Inside the hand-built wooden housing sits a DSLR, a studio ring flash and a proper touch screen — not a tablet bolted to a stand. You notice the difference the moment the print lands in your hand, and it is why the booth holds up under marquee lighting on the North Coast as well as it does in an Umhlanga ballroom.
Prints drop in around ten seconds, dry and gloss, for the whole booking. No print limit and no per-photo charge, so a table of ten can each walk away with the same shot.
Prints with your names on them
Every print is laid out for your event long before we load the car. A 4×6 postcard or the classic photostrip, carrying your monogram and date, a company logo, or artwork your own designer sends through.
Couples usually settle on two names and a date. Brands push it further — sponsor lock-ups, campaign artwork, and a scannable QR code that lands a guest on your page while the print is still warm.
The template is part of the hire, not an add-on, and you sign off the proof before anything prints.

Photobooth features
More than just a Photobooth
Custom branded photo printing is available for corporate events, brand activations, weddings and private functions. Every photo can be printed as a personalised photostrip or postcard, designed around your brand or event theme.
We print high-quality photos instantly, with your company logo, event name, wedding monogram, sponsor messaging or other design elements added on request. Guests get a keepsake to take home, and you get your branding in their hands.
Our professional printers print within 10 seconds for a high-gloss photo experience.
Luxury backdrops
Choose your backdrop
We are one of the only companies with these beautiful stretched photobooth backdrops — 2.4m high by 2.4m wide, tensioned flat so there is not a crease behind your guests. There are over thirty designs to choose from, and they are complimentary with any of our photobooth packages.
The neon signs are printed into the backdrop rather than hung in front of it, so what you see is exactly what stands behind the booth. Backdrops are for indoor use only, unless they are set against a wall or similar, and green backdrops are available if you would rather use a green screen.
Common questions
Wedding photobooth FAQs
Everything couples usually ask before booking the Retrobooth for their Durban wedding.
How far in advance should we book?
Earlier than most people expect, especially for a Durban Saturday between September and April. Send your date through and we will come straight back to you with availability.
Is there a limit on prints or sessions?
No. Unlimited sessions and printing are included for the whole booking, so a table of ten can each walk away with the same shot without a per-photo charge.
Can the photostrip carry our names and wedding date?
Yes — it is part of the hire, not an add-on. We lay out your monogram and date on the print template, and you sign off the proof before anything goes to print.
Do you travel outside Durban for weddings?
Yes. Umhlanga, Ballito and the North Coast are close by, and we regularly travel further to the Drakensberg and KZN Midlands. Travel is quoted separately based on the venue.
Is an attendant included with the booth?
Always. A friendly booth assistant arrives ahead of your guests, runs the booth for the full booking and packs down afterwards — nobody in the bridal party has to babysit a printer.
Will we get digital copies of all the photos?
Yes. Every booking comes with a digital gallery link containing every photo from the night, ready to share with family and the wedding party.
What backdrop options do we get to choose from?
Over thirty backdrop designs are included at no extra charge, or we can run a green screen if you would rather drop your guests into a scene of your choosing.
How long does each print take?
Around ten seconds. Prints arrive dry and high-gloss straight away, which holds up well even under a marquee on the North Coast.
