He is backed by a network of 28 locations across Germany and Austria, handling over 3,500 events a year—if a device fails, we provide a replacement to ensure your party continues without interruption.
📸 Studio quality instead of phone photos
With a DSLR camera, studio flash, and genuine photo paper on our print models, you get professional-grade quality. That’s why your guests will line up for the photo booth and why these pictures won't end up in a drawer, but on the fridge.
🖨️ High-speed instant printing and your own custom layout
Photos print in seconds, either as 10x15 cm prints or as photo strips (premium option, +€24.90). You can design your layout with names, dates, or a company logo in advance for free using our frame configurator. A generous number of prints is included depending on the model, and extra paper can be added. (Photo Booth Print and Print Pro)

Whether it's a wedding, corporate party, birthday bash, or milestone celebration: a photo booth brings guests together, creates fun, and provides lasting memories at every event—often becoming the highlight of the evening.

More about the wedding photo booth →The photo booth with custom logo branding in the layout; for corporate clients, payment by invoice is available upon request—perfect for everything from summer parties and corporate events to Christmas celebrations.
More about the corporate photo booth →18th, 30th, or 50th: a photo corner that brings party fun for every guest—from grandkids to grandparents, even at anniversaries. And the photos are ready instantly.
More about the birthday photo booth →In Essen, the device is called a Fotobox, a photo booth, or in the Ruhr area, often just a "Fotoautomat." When comparing providers, the same questions always apply: How fast is the print? Do the photos reach professional quality, even in low light? What happens in the event of a technical glitch? And do you have to pay a deposit? The answers determine whether your photo corner becomes the highlight of your party or a source of frustration.
At Renty, the answer is simple: All three of our photo booths use a DSLR camera and studio flash instead of tablet technology—delivering high-quality images with perfect lighting. Your guests can see how the photo will look in real-time on the 15.6-inch touchscreen. Our print models handle photo printing on-site, with the premium Print Pro model working in seconds. While some providers advertise "unlimited printing," we prefer to give you the real numbers: 150 prints for the Print model, 400 for the Print Pro, and unlimited digital photos via our online gallery. Plus, no deposit and every rental is insured—and you can see the price for your specific date in the calendar before you book.
The second difference is having a local contact person: Behind our Essen photo booth rental is Jan and his team, with experience from events ranging from weddings at Baldeneysee and birthday parties in Rüttenscheid to corporate events at Zeche Zollverein. Companies get their logo in the layout, couples get tips for their guestbook—and if a device fails, we organize a replacement through our network of 28 locations. Our support team is available daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. via phone or WhatsApp, even on weekends.
A tip from thousands of events: Place the photo booth where your guests naturally gather—between the bar and the dance floor is a winner at any party in the city. As a rule of thumb, you only need about 2x2 meters of space and a standard 230V power outlet; the location doesn't need anything else. The booth, layout, and props take care of the rest: entertainment without needing a program, fun for all generations, and the best moments of the evening as souvenirs to take home.

At our Renty location in Essen: Dümptener Straße 17, 45359 Essen. Pickup is free and takes place by appointment at your scheduled time—any day of the week, including Sundays and public holidays. You will receive a quick briefing on-site: Jan and his team will hand over the photo booth ready to go. It fits into any standard car, so you can often start taking photos before the party even begins.
Does Renty deliver the photo booth to all Essen districts and the surrounding area?
Yes, we offer delivery, setup, event support, and pickup in all districts from Rüttenscheid to Werden, Kettwig, and Steele, as well as the surrounding Ruhr area, such as Mülheim an der Ruhr, Bochum, Gelsenkirchen, and Bottrop—€59 per hour of labor, with other locations available upon request.

Photo booth, photobooth, or photo kiosk: What do I get in Essen?
The same device under three names. Whether you want to rent a photo kiosk, hire a photobooth, or book a photo box in Essen, it all refers to a box with a camera, flash, and screen where your guests take the photos themselves. At Renty, we offer three models: the Mini (purely digital), the Print (with instant printing), and the Print Pro (with 400 prints for large celebrations). We do not carry enclosed photo booths or photo mirrors. On the plus side, our open-style box fits into any car and can be set up in 5-10 minutes.
Where is the best place for a photo booth in Essen?
Wherever your guests are already gathering. In the halls of the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex, the lighting is often dim in the evening, so the box belongs near the entrance or the bar; the studio flash will take care of the rest. At Lake Baldeney and for garden parties in Werden or Kettwig, it needs to be under cover because paper and electronics don't like moisture. In a living room, about 2x2 meters and a power outlet are all you need. For a wedding reception at Schloss Borbeck, the Print Pro is the best choice, as its 400 prints will last through a long evening.
There is often more that goes well with a photo booth in Essen: For parties and corporate events, you can also rent a sound system or rent a projector at the same location – all your event technology in Essen at a glance.
