Veteran-owned. Family-operated. Committed to creating unforgettable memories since 2017.
Veteran
Hi, I'm Andrew
I'm a Marine Corps Veteran and the founder of The Photo Booth Guy. What started as a spark of inspiration at a friend's wedding in 2017 has grown into Southern California's most trusted photo booth rental company.
When I first experienced a photo booth at that wedding, I knew I had found something special. It wasn't just about taking pictures — it was about creating moments of joy, laughter, and connection. I wanted to bring that magic to every event I could.
Today, The Photo Booth Guy is a family-owned and operated business built on the values I learned in the Marines: integrity, excellence, and commitment to service. We don't just set up a booth and walk away — we partner with you to create an unforgettable experience.

How we run every single event.
Operational principles that have held since 2017 — and 5,500+ events in.
SetupIn 30 minutes, the booth is ready to host your event.
Our setup crew arrives 90 minutes before guests do. Every booth is calibrated, tested, and styled to the venue before the first guest walks in — so when the party starts, the booth doesn’t need a second of your attention.
TemplatesPrint templates designed for your event — never pulled from a catalog.
Our in-house designer builds your template from scratch using your colors, your monogram, and your event date. Every template ships at proof stage 5 days before the event so you have time to refine. Zero stock layouts, zero compromise — every single strip carries your name.
ReliabilityEvery booth is inspected weekly, not just before your event.
Cameras, printers, lighting, and laptops get a full diagnostic and tune-up every single week — not just the morning of your event. That’s how we’ve delivered 5,500+ events without a no-show. Reliability isn’t luck. It’s a schedule.
