LARGE GROUP RENTALS
Studio B is designed for creative sessions, photo shoots, content creation, and small events. Additional fees apply to larger groups due to increased traffic, cleaning needs, HVAC usage, and wear and tear.

Standard Rental | Up to 15 Guests
Our standard hourly rate applies to groups of up to 15 guests at one time.

Small Group Rental | 16–25 Guests
A $100 Large Group Fee will be added to your rental.

Large Group Rental | 26–40 Guests
A $200 Large Group Fee will be added to your rental, along with a 3-hour minimum booking.

41+ Guests | Production Rental
Groups of 41+ guests are considered a Production Rental and require advance approval. Pricing and rental requirements will be determined based on the size and scope of the booking.

Planning a group larger than 15?
Please email hello@studiobswfl.com BEFORE booking so we can review your group and make sure the appropriate rental option is selected.

Guest Counts
Guest counts are based on the number of people in the studio at one time, not the total number of people visiting throughout your rental.
For example, photographers hosting mini sessions with one family at a time are not considered a large group rental, even if more than 15 people visit throughout the day.
The 15-person limit includes everyone present at the same time, including clients, photographers, parents, children, assistants, and vendors. Studio B may require staggered arrivals for larger groups and reserves the right to limit occupancy for safety and comfort.
