We require a level ground and some kind of overhead covering ie. an awning or a weighted down 10×10 tent for outdoor set-ups. The tent requires 2-3 walls as it will shield the equipment and your guests of precipitation such as wind or direct sunlight interfering with the photos. No additional lighting is required as we supply lighting and flash photography. We do require access to power so the out door space will need access to an outlet (110V, 10 amps, 3 prong outlet) that is dedicated for the photo booth. Sharing an outlet with a bunch of other things like the DJ or lighting can sometimes overpower the plug, but we have a 20 foot extension cord that can help us reach a far away outlet if needed.
