Instant photography is shooting pictures on film that develops within minutes of shooting. Unlike traditional film photography, instant pictures develop in your hand instead of in a lab. And while your phone can also take a photo you can see in a single click, if you want to hold that image in your hand, you have to take the time to print it. Instant photography is photos and memories you keep in your pocket and treasure forever.

Using the camera is as simple as aiming the camera at your subject, checking and adjusting the camera to the suggested light setting, and clicking the shutter. Within seconds, the camera will eject your exposed film for development. It will take about a minute for your film to fully develop.

At this time, we offer the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 for our camera rental packages. This camera is easy to use, has multiple settings for different lighting conditions and a selfie mirror.

Yes, the camera can shoot indoors, however picture taking is limited in low light. Please be aware that this function only works on subjects within 3 feet of the camera lens. The darker the room, the darker your finished photos.

For best results indoors, we recommend shooting photos no further than 3 feet away, and in brightly lit rooms.

The basic camera rental gives you 10 individual shots of film (one full film pack). If you’d like to take more than 10, additional film packs can be purchased and inserted by a SnapShotz team member.

Of course! Additional film packs can be purchased and inserted by a SnapShotz team member.

Inserting film is not complicated, however it has the potential to damage the camera if done improperly. Rather than letting you risk unneccesary damage and extra fees, we want to insert a new film pack for you.
To prevent accidental access to the film compartment, all our cameras come with security stickers across the access point.

Each pack of film shoots 10 pictures, and we encourage you to use every single one. We cannot offer a refund for unexposed film.

Part of the fun of instant photography is the unexpected results of the film. You can’t take hundreds of photos to get the best one. You only have 10 photos, so every shot needs to count. It's the exciting challenge of film photography.

However, we understand that sometimes things do actually go wrong. If most of your photos are improperly exposed due to camera malfunction, we'll provide you a new camera free of charge.
If the camera is to be working properly and the improperly exposed photos are due to user error, we cannot offer this option. This includes photographs that are mis-framed, taken too far away or too close to the subject.

All event rentals must be booked in advance, at least 2 weeks of your event date. All rental packages must be paid in advance. Time of arrival of cameras must be coordinated with your event planner or host in advance.
On the day of your event, your cameras will be delivered at least 1 hour prior to the start of your event. If you prefer an earlier arrival, please coordinate that with us in advance.
During the event, we'll faciliate and make sure all of our cameras are working as promised. All of our rental packages include a SnapShotz team member to be available to facilitate camera use. If necessary, we'll brief extra people on camera operation.
At the end of the event, we'll pack everything up and make sure things are tidy.

This depends on the size of your group. A single camera rental is perfect for a couple or a small group of friends to share the images and enjoy the day.
However, our camera rental packages start at a minimum of 10 cameras for events. In the future we will provide single camera rentals to visitors in downtown Denver. We apologize that this is not available at this time.

Absolutely! Matter a fact, we require that all our event rentals be booked at least 2 weeks in advance. However, our camera availability limits how many groups we can accomodate on a single day. We recommend booking your package as soon as possible to ensure a package is available for your date.

We absolutely want you to be 100% happy with your experience! However, we can only provide a refund if you provide us with all the photos taken with your cameras.
If the photos are clearly improperly exposed to camera malfunction, we will gladly provide you a new camera free of charge.

Nobody wants to have this happen. Not us, not you. But accidents do happen. That's why we offer full damage protection in our rental prices. If the camera does indeed break during your rental, we will take care of it, free of charge to you.

This camera is easy to use, however we HIGHLY recommend adult supervision. This is a fully functioning camera, it is not a toy. Please supervise your children while they use this camera.

Can I buy a camera instead of renting one?

Of course! We’ll be glad to get you started in your instant photography journey! Talk to our staff about the best options for your own instant camera.
