Most cost effective Photobooth?

It's decided. I'm having a photobooth come hell or high water. BUT, there is a huge variance in packages and I'm trying to cut to the chase. I have emailed like 10 companies and I'm starting to get confused, so I thought I would just ask my fellow Knotties.

What I want: 3-4 hours, unlimited double prints, scrapbook service, color/b&w/sepia options and an attendant. BONUS POINTS for props. Needs to hold a group of people as opposed to just 2-3 people.

Has anyone found something similar to this for under $650? If so, please list the company.

    Clix Photo Booths! www.clixphotobooths.com I could go on and on about what we found out about all the photo booth companies we looked at during the bridal show at Vet's. in Jan. But what I will say is that after comparing all the booths, we booked Clix. FI and I felt they had the best quality of pics, were very friendly and helpful, and the best price. HTH!  Good luck!

    We went with Red Eye and they're right at $650 for almost everything you mentioned.  It's an extra $150 for the scrapbook option, and that includes double prints.  If you just want double prints it's $75.  I did this and opted to get my own scrapbook because they're only about $15 at a craft store.  They also don't have props, but I made my own mustache on a stick props and the attendant on duty will assist people with those and also, even though we're not getting their scrapbook, the attendant will still assist the guests with the one that we're bringing.

    I don't know anything about Awesome Photobooths, but Say Cheese Photobooths is EXPENSIVE!

    We're also going with Red Eye.  They had a good price and quality.  You will also get all photos on disc.

    I second Clix photobooth!  I have them booked for 4 hours.  I did not get the scrapbook option and I bought my own props.  Their price for me was $695.  It comes with unlimited prints, double copies on 2x6 strips with text/artwork (our names and date), and cd of images.  The bring your own scrapbook option is $50 (need to bring album and pens) and if they supply the album and pens it is $125.  I don't know if they have props but if your wedding if after mine you are more than welcome to borrow or buy my stuff cause I have no idea what to do with it after the wedding!

    I don't know about prices, but I saw one at the Vets Memorial bridal show that was more open so you could fit more people in it.  It had a lot of cool options too.  It was either Infinity or Mirage.   I can check the photo on my frig when i get home :)

    Infinity photobooth is a little higher, it is 850 but they include prints for everyone in the booth and a print for the scrap book. Their booths hold around 12 people and that is for 4 hours.

    We are using ShutterBooth, but its not under $650. I think we are paying $850. I would recommend looking at some options at a bridal show if you can. There are SO many to choose from, and they all offer the "same" things, but there were so many at the bridal show that just seemed really low quality to me. The booths almost looked tacky and the scrapbooks that some of them make for you are just pieces of paper.

    Night Flyte is really cheap!  You provide your own scrapbook, and they put the copies in it.  I liked that aspect.  I was quoted about $450 but it was a little less because we are using them as our d.j. and there was a bridal show special too.  Still, their products were high quality.
