Meet The Founder

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.

In 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.
