About the Glam Booth

Imagine a small portrait studio at your wedding — softbox lighting, beauty filter, B&W camera tuned for skin tones. That's the Glam. Brides use it for the bridal-party portrait. Corporate galas use it for executive headshots. Quinceañeras use it for the photo of the night — the one Mom prints and frames.

The Glam Booth is the booth for events where every guest deserves to feel like a VIP. While other booths produce party shots, the Glam produces portraits. Studio-grade lighting wraps every guest in a flattering glow, our real-time beauty filter smooths skin and softens features without making anyone look filtered, and the prints come out on premium paper that holds up for 50+ years.

“GREAT team! We used them for our wedding. Andrew was very easy to work with and communicated quickly to answer all my questions! We love that they are also veteran/military owned people :) The photos were all terrific and the lighting was perfect!”

“I started The Photo Booth Guy in 2017 after the Marines. Every event still goes through me personally — the overlay design, the attendant briefing, the venue COI. 5,500+ events later, that hasn't changed. If something goes wrong on your day, my number is on every contract.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Glam Booth starts at $550 for 2 hours, with the most-booked package at $700 for 3 hours. Each additional hour is $150. Comparable B&W glam booths in SoCal with attendant + premium prints typically start around $700–$1,200 — our $550 base sits at the affordable end of the premium tier.

Studio-grade lighting (calibrated softbox + ring flash) plus a real-time beauty filter that's skin-tone safe — every print is a portrait, not a party shot. The B&W aesthetic photographs beautifully against any backdrop, and the filter is subtle by design — it smooths skin without making anyone look filtered.

It's our most-requested booth for upscale weddings. Brides use it for bridal-party portraits, mothers-of-the-bride frame the prints, and the B&W look matches every venue's lighting. We've run the Glam at the Langham Huntington, Beverly Hills Hotel, Pelican Hill, Castle Green, Beverly Wilshire.

Both. Every guest leaves with a premium 4×6 black-and-white print, and the digital file is sent simultaneously via SMS, AirDrop, or QR-code download. Online gallery stays live for 1 year.

Yes — the filter is subtle by design and skin-tone safe. It smooths skin and softens features without changing how anyone actually looks. Flattering for every age, every skin tone.

12 seconds from final pose to printed 4×6 in the guest's hand. The digital copy is sent simultaneously via SMS, AirDrop, or QR.

Absolutely. We design a custom B&W template matching your event — wedding monogram, corporate logo, awards-night branding. You approve the proof before your event.

8 × 8 ft minimum footprint (10 × 10 ft with backdrop), 8 ft of overhead clearance, and a single 110V outlet within 25 ft. Indoor preferred — outdoor with a covered/canopied area is fine. Send us a venue photo at booking.

The Photo Booth Guy serves Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties from a Chino base — covering Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, Anaheim, Long Beach, Temecula, and 115+ SoCal cities total. 30-mile travel radius included; $3/mile after.

Reference & details
Full technical spec sheet

Camera: Studio DSLR, calibrated for skin tones, B&W mode native (not post-processed).

Lighting: 2-light softbox + ring flash, color-balanced for B&W output, adjustable per venue.

Filter: Real-time beauty filter (skin smoothing, soft features) — skin-tone safe, configurable intensity, never alters bone structure or skin tone.

Printer: Sublimation dye, 4×6 B&W in 12 seconds, premium heavyweight paper, water- and fade-resistant for 50+ years.

Delivery: Print on-site, SMS via Twilio, AirDrop, QR-code download.

Power draw: ~600W peak during print, single 110V 15A circuit sufficient.

Glam vs Mirror vs Classic — which booth fits which event?

Pick Glam when: the event is upscale (formal wedding, awards gala, fashion event), studio-quality portrait photography is the goal, and B&W aesthetic fits the venue. Best for guests 50–200, formal dress code.

Pick Mirror when: you want a touchscreen-signature wow factor and color prints for a guest favor — Mirror is the interactive premium booth.

Pick Classic when: budget is tighter ($395–$595), you want maximum throughput (60–80 guests/hour), and the printed strip is the keepsake. Best for school dances, large weddings, fundraisers.

Common Glam Booth mistakes (and how we prevent them)

Bad ambient lighting fighting the softbox: we run a pre-event walkthrough to identify mixed venue light. We position the booth perpendicular to strong window light or stage lights and adjust softbox temperature to match.

Beauty filter overkill: some competitors run filters that flatten skin and make guests look plastic. Ours is subtle by design — calibrated to skin-tone variations, never changes structure.

Print bottleneck: our 12-second print cycle keeps 50–70 guests/hour moving. Premium paper means slower than a strip booth — but the print quality is portrait-grade, not party-grade.

Bad template design: every B&W template goes through a 3-pass review (legibility, contrast, edge safety) before sending the proof.

Travel, setup, idle hours & pricing add-ons

Travel: Free 30-mile radius from Chino, CA. After 30 miles: $3/mile. Routine flat-rate service to Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Riverside, Temecula, Palm Springs.

Setup: Crew arrives 60 minutes before event start. Strike is 30 minutes after end. Both are not billed against your operation hours.

Idle hours: If your event has an off-block (dinner break, ceremony), we pause at $75/idle-hour rather than billing full operation time.

Add-ons: Custom prop kit (formal) $95 · Branded photo guestbook $185 · Live-feed slideshow on venue TV $95 · Same-day USB of all prints $75 · Branded micro-site $125 · Premium backdrop upgrade $95.

Insurance, COI & vendor compliance

General liability: $2M policy, certificate provided to any venue on request. We have COIs on file for 200+ SoCal venues including the Langham Huntington, Beverly Hills Hotel, Pelican Hill, Hotel Bel-Air, Pasadena Convention Center, Anaheim Convention Center, Long Beach Convention Center, and the entire Wedgewood and CCM Hospitality networks.

Vendor packets: we deliver business license, W-9, COI, and equipment specs as a single PDF on request.

Service continuity: every Glam event ships with our on-site support kit — spare cables, parts, props, and charged batteries — plus a trained attendant on our standard troubleshooting protocol. Across 5,500+ events delivered, our service-delivery rate is 100%.

Booking, deposit & cancellation

Deposit: $200 non-refundable retainer secures the date.

Balance: Due 7 days before the event.

Cancellation: Deposit refunded in full if canceled 120+ days out. Date transfers within 12 months are free — that's the path 99% of clients take.
