B&W portrait studio · real-time beauty filter · also called a Kardashian booth or B&W glam booth
Studio lighting, real-time beauty filter, magazine-quality black-and-white portraits printed in 12 seconds. The Glam is the photo guests actually frame.
If we can't deliver the booth on event day, full refund — has never happened across 5,500+ events.

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.

Everything you need for an unforgettable experience
Premium dye-sublimation prints on heavyweight paper, water- and fade-resistant for 50+ years. Every guest walks away with a portrait worth framing — not a party snapshot.
“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.”
Send these specs to your coordinator and they'll sign off on the spot. We've already cleared 200+ SoCal venues for setup.
Transparent pricing with everything included
Forward to your spouse, planner, or boss. No commitment. We'll hold the date for 48 hours while you decide.
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.
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.
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.
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: 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.

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%.
Deposit: $200 non-refundable retainer secures the date.
Balance: Due 7 days before the event.
