Durban Photobooths · Durban, KZN
Durban Photobooths — professional Retrobooth retro photo booth, SPIN360 and instant printing services for weddings and corporate events across Durban, Umhlanga and Ballito.
About us
Durban Photobooths specialises in the hire of Photobooths and Instant printers for Weddings, Birthdays and Corporate Events in Durban, Umhlanga, Ballito and across KwaZulu-Natal. We offer custom packages to suit your event requirements.
Durban Photobooths is part of the Photobooth LAB group. Photobooth LAB is the parent company and Durban Photobooths is its Durban brand — the booths, the attendants and the bookings across KwaZulu-Natal are run by our team here in Durban.
Our recipe is simple. Guests get to walk away with a professionally printed keepsake with an experience they will never forget. Leave it to us — we design professional templates that suit your theme or brand. We also have a range of sample templates to choose from in our Templates Gallery and Backdrop Gallery. Hiring a Photobooth in Durban with great, DSLR Studio Quality shouldn’t be a challenge.
Being based in Durban means Umhlanga, Ballito and the North and South Coast are a short drive away, and we regularly travel further afield to the Drakensberg and KZN Midlands too. Our Durban Photobooth Packages offer great value, and we pride ourselves on ensuring each guest has a brilliant photobooth experience.
Why not give your guests the opportunity to upload their own photos and transform these into professional DSLR-style photos with a tap of a button. Our Instant Printing Kiosk offers guests exactly this! Our AI Kiosk is exclusive and the best instant printing facility for corporate launches, birthdays, wedding canapés etc.
Four services, one team
Every booth arrives with an attendant who sets up, runs it all night and packs down. You choose the backdrop and we design the print template around your event.
Solid wood, a proper studio ring flash and printing that never runs out. Your guests pose, the photo slides out warm a few seconds later, and the full digital set is in your inbox by morning.
Step up, hold the pose, and the camera arm orbits you at speed. The slow-motion clip reaches your guest’s phone before they are back on the floor — which is exactly why it earns its keep during canapés.
A QR code, a photo from your guest’s own camera roll, and a wall of styles to choose from. Seconds later the gloss print drops into the tray. The water-colour setting is the one that starts the queue.
Booths, green screen and on-the-spot printing for Durban conferences, year-end parties and brand activations. We build the print template around your brand guidelines, so marketing get artwork they can actually sign off.
Instant Printing
Our Instant Printer runs on a 19″ touchscreen kiosk, letting you, your guests, and your family print photos on the spot as hi-gloss postcard prints. It’s built for photo printing at canapés — snap something before the ceremony or during drinks and reception, and it’s printed within seconds. Once canapés wind down, the same kiosk can be moved straight into the reception and keeps running for the rest of the night, so guests aren’t just taking photos, they’re walking away with something physical from the day. We have packages for canapés, reception or both. You choose!
We regularly set up at venues around KZN, including Brahman Hills, Netherwood, Providence, Haycroft Farm, Fordoun, and Granny Mouse, among others. If your venue isn’t on that list, we can still bring the kiosk along — it just needs a table, power, and a bit of foot traffic to work.
When you book the kiosk, you choose how many prints you want upfront — think of it as pre-paid prints, with packages up to 500. Guests scan a QR code on the kiosk, then either upload a photo from their phone or pick one that’s already been taken at the event, and the kiosk prints it. No app to install, no queue at a photographer’s laptop — just a phone and a few taps.
No stock photography — every print below started life as an ordinary phone photo taken at a real Durban wedding. Drag the slider across each one to see exactly what the kiosk’s AI styles do with a guest’s own photo.

The Retrobooth is the perfect accessory and a must-have for weddings, corporate events, brand activations and, of course, kids’ birthdays in Durban, Umhlanga, Ballito and across KwaZulu-Natal. It brings a blend of nostalgia, fun and professionalism to elevate your occasion.
A photobooth at any event is always an absolute hit and leaves guests with instant printed memories. Our retro vintage-styled photobooths offer instant printing within seconds and can be customised to include your emblem, company logo, or to suit your event theme. We offer a minimum hire duration of three hours to venues across Durban, Umhlanga, Ballito and the North Coast, depending on your location.
Our photobooths in Durban have proven to be excellent tools for engaging with audiences. They provide an interactive experience that encourages people to participate and have fun, and brands can customise the experience with their own logos, slogans or brand elements.
This not only creates an enjoyable experience but also increases brand visibility as guests share their photos on social media with our own iPad sharing kiosk, which lets your audience share their photos instantly. We have two photobooth options: the Retrobooth, which offers instant digital printing, and the Selfie Pod, our digital range, which does not currently offer printing.
Looking for the WOW factor at your next corporate event or conference? We specialise in professional Durban photobooths with instant printing and sharing — photos printed and in hand within 15 seconds.
Corporate Events
Planning a wedding? The Retrobooth captures high-resolution photos and prints them instantly, in the format of your choice — postcards or photostrips. Digital copies are included too.
Wedding Photobooths
Turn any guest’s phone photo into a printed keepsake in seconds. Our Instant Printing Kiosk adds water-colour, caricature and cartoon styles that guests queue up for.

The SPIN360 is the perfect accessory for any event. It fills the gap and offers high-quality slow-motion video with your branding — perfect for weddings, corporate events & birthdays.
SPIN360 VideoboothLuxury backdrops
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
Four. The Retrobooth retro photo booth with instant 4×6 prints or photostrips, the SPIN360 slow-motion video booth, the Instant Printing Kiosk that turns guests’ own phone photos into styled prints, and branded corporate photobooths with green screen. Every one comes with an attendant who sets up, runs it and packs down.
Yes — Durban is our home patch. Umhlanga, Ballito and the North Coast are all close by, and we regularly travel further afield to the Drakensberg and KZN Midlands. Travel is quoted separately based on the venue.
If you choose Postcard Prints, it prints 1 postcard per session. Duplicate Photostrips are printed 2 per session. Fair usage applies to all of our packages.
Ten to fifteen seconds. Our dye-sublimation printers seal each print as it emerges, so it arrives dry and gloss and survives being handled straight away — which matters in Durban humidity.
Every booking comes with an online gallery. The photos, GIFs and 360 clips all land there after the event, on a single link you can send round the family WhatsApp group.
A standalone print station your guests run themselves. They scan the code, send through a photo they already love, pick a treatment — water-colour, caricature, cartoon, pencil sketch, pop art — and collect the print moments later.
Always. An attendant arrives well ahead of your guests, sets everything up, stays on the booth for the full booking and packs down at the end. Nobody in the bridal party gets handed a printer to babysit.
Yes, and it is included rather than an extra. We artwork the template to match your event — names and date for a wedding, or logos, campaign creative and a scannable QR code for corporate work.
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.
