Photoboothforyou.ch

Photoboothforyou.ch is a one-person photo booth rental run by Raphael Schib from Läufelfingen. He rents out a self-service booth, collected by the customer, with a DSLR camera, a studio flash, a touchscreen, a buzzer trigger and a printer, for 125 francs plus consumables. The site pitches it as "Das Party Highlight egal ob für Hochzeiten oder Geburtstage" (the party highlight, whether for weddings or birthdays), and its slogan sums up the idea: "Einstecken | Anschalten | Lachen" (plug in, switch on, laugh).

Why the price is low

The price is the first thing most couples will notice, and the owner explains it himself. "Mein Ziel ist nicht das grosse Geld, sondern die Weitergabe meiner Freude an der Informatik und am Basteln" (my goal is not big money but passing on my enjoyment of computing and tinkering), he writes, which is why he offers the booth at a low price. He adds: "PS: der Preis hat nichts mit der Qualität zu tun" (the price has nothing to do with the quality). The headline price is 125 CHF plus consumables; the site does not say on its homepage what the consumables cost, but it links a separate prices page.

The equipment

The booth takes pictures with a reflex camera, a Canon EOS 5D MKIII or a Canon EOS 6D according to the site, lit by a studio flash. Guests can take single photos or collages, trigger the shot with a buzzer or on the touchscreen, and print their pictures directly. The homepage announces "Neu mit premium Drucker!" (new, with a premium printer). Every image is saved locally and also uploaded to a personal online gallery, which stays available for 3 months.

The feature list on the homepage reads: gallery, DSLR camera, touchscreen, buzzer, printer, photo cloud, plug and play, and studio flash. There is no mention of props, backdrops or custom print layouts, so a couple who wants those should ask.

How the rental works

This is a pick-up rental. The site says the booth fits in practically any car and sets up in a few minutes, and the setup is literally plug in and switch on. Collection before the event is possible by arrangement, and only the day of the event is charged. The customer reviews describe the same routine: collect, set up, have fun, bring it back. One reviewer says it takes less than a minute from setup to use.

Booking is done through the site, where a date can be reserved without commitment ("unverbindlich"). The owner also offers a demo for anyone who wants to see the booth before deciding. Contact is by phone on +41 79 578 77 57, by email at contact@photoboothforyou.ch, or through the contact form; the address is Weihermattweg 6, 4448 Läufelfingen.

What customers say

The homepage carries a long list of recent reviews, dated from July 2025 to February 2026, and they agree on a few points. The booth is easy to set up and use, the photo quality is good, and the value for money is repeatedly called unbeatable. One reviewer wrote that everything ran perfectly, at an unbeatable price of a kind rarely found in Switzerland. Another called the support "sofort erreichbar" (immediately reachable), and a third wrote that Raphael explains everything in detail and can be reached at any time if there is a problem. A repeat customer said she had used the booth for several events and been delighted every time. Several reviews mention how much guests of all ages enjoyed it.

The shorter reviews fill in the picture. One sums it up as easy setup, great photo quality and fun for young and old. Another calls the booth an eye-catcher at any party, and another says it made taking, printing and downloading pictures very simple. A customer who hosted a party with it wrote that you can tell the booth was developed with a lot of care, and that the party went so well partly because of it. One reviewer noted that you also end up with good photos of all the guests, which is a real benefit at a wedding with a long guest list.

For couples from abroad

The site is written entirely in German, in the informal "du" form, and does not mention English. Couples who do not speak German should write by email and ask whether the handover and phone support can be in English. Because the booth is collected from Läufelfingen and returned there, someone from the wedding party will need a car and time for the pick-up and return, which is the main practical hurdle for a couple flying in. The site does not mention delivery, so ask whether it is possible and at what cost.

The 3-month online gallery helps a wedding with guests from abroad: they can download their pictures after flying home, without carrying prints.

What the site does not settle

The homepage does not state what consumables cost per print or per roll, how many prints the printer holds, whether props are included, or whether the booth can stand outdoors. It gives no deposit, cancellation or damage terms on the homepage; the site has an FAQ and a prices page, which a couple should read or ask about before booking. The site describes no staffed option: this is a booth the couple and their guests run themselves, with the owner reachable by phone.

Who it suits

Photoboothforyou.ch suits couples on a budget who are marrying within reach of Läufelfingen, have a friend or relative with a car to collect and return the booth, and want real camera quality and printed photos without paying for a staffed service. The reviews give a consistent picture of a reliable booth and an owner who answers the phone.

It suits less well couples who want delivery, setup and an attendant included, props and a designed print layout as part of the package, or a supplier who works in English as a matter of course. The low price comes with self-service, and a couple should plan for that from the start.
