“I review every event the morning of — that’s the deal.” — Andrew Cruz, founder · USMC vet
From hotel ballrooms to country club terraces to private estates — we've set up at every kind of Calabasas room. We arrive knowing where the outlets are, which freight elevator to use, and how to load in without breaking step.
Ranch/Winery
Calabasas events run on a different rhythm than the rest of the San Fernando Valley. The 91302 is one of the highest-income ZIP codes in California, and most events happen on private gated estates rather than public venues — Sweet 16s at hillside homes in The Oaks and Mountain View Estates, milestone birthdays at Calabasas Country Club, and intimate weddings at Saddlerock Ranch just north on Mulholland. The booth has to fit a household standard, not a venue standard.
Gated-community work has its own protocol. We arrive on the gate guest list 24 hours ahead, the truck is detailed before load-in, and the attendant arrives in formal attire — these are not optional details for the 91302. Templates are designed and approved by the host or planner before the event, the booth uses ambient LED only (no flash, no audio cues), and we run with a phone-only contact line so estate staff are not chasing a vendor through email during setup. The Glam Booth dominates the Calabasas mix because the editorial-luxury aesthetic — magazine-quality B&W studio portraits, real-time beauty filter, premium dye-sublimation paper — matches what hosts already expect from their photographer.
We also work the public-facing Calabasas calendar — corporate events at The Commons, anniversary parties at hillside restaurants, fundraisers and galas tied to the local school and synagogue calendars. These are higher-volume, lower-discretion bookings but the equipment standard does not change.
Booking lead time: private-estate events typically book 6-12 weeks ahead — the 91302 is a small market and date conflicts are real. Calabasas Country Club weddings book 9-12 months ahead for peak season. Gate access: The Oaks, Mountain View Estates, Hidden Hills (technically a separate municipality but adjacent), and the gated streets off Mulholland and Las Virgenes require advance gate-list submission with the property address, attendant name, vehicle plates, and arrival window. We collect this at booking and submit 24 hours ahead. NDAs: celebrity and high-profile estate work routinely includes a confidentiality rider — we sign whatever the planner provides at no charge. Travel: the 91301 and 91302 ZIP codes are inside our standard service zone, including West Calabasas, The Oaks, Mountain View Estates, and the Mulholland-corridor streets — no travel fees.
Same setup, same crew, same response time across all Calabasas ZIPs (91301, 91302). If your venue has a 110V outlet and a 10×10 ft footprint, we're set up.

Nine years. 5,500+ events. Every booking still attended personally or by an attendant I trained.
I retired from the U.S. Marine Corps after a full career — seven years in aviation logistics, then years as a career recruiter. Along the way I earned three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals and a Navy Commendation Medal, all for performance. I started The Photo Booth Guy in 2017 because I couldn't find a photo booth operator in Southern California who treated every event the way I'd want my own wedding handled. So I built one. Every booking is owner-overseen. Every event ships with a uniformed on-site attendant — never a drop-off rental. We're a veteran-owned small business, fully insured, and accepted at every major venue in the Inland Empire.
Nine years in, we've delivered 5,500+ events and earned 600+ five-star reviews on Yelp plus 150+ on Google — and I still personally review every event the morning of. If you have a question before booking, call me directly at (909) 570-1988.

Most-asked questions from couples, planners, and corporate event leads.
Yes. Gated-community work is part of our regular Calabasas mix. We submit the gate-access list 24 hours ahead with the attendant name, vehicle plate, and arrival window, the truck is detailed before load-in, and the attendant arrives in formal attire matching estate-staff standards.
The Glam Booth is the most-requested setup in the 91302 — its B&W studio portraits with real-time beauty filter and premium dye-sublimation prints match the editorial-luxury aesthetic that hosts already expect from their photographer. The Mirror Booth is a close second for events that want signature 4×6 prints with custom monograms.
Yes. Confidentiality riders, no-photo-of-host-without-permission rules, no social posts about the venue or guest list, and no portfolio use without explicit written approval are part of our standard Calabasas workflow. We sign whatever rider the planner provides at no charge.
Yes. For private-estate events we run on ambient LED lighting only, no flash bursts, and the booth software runs with audio prompts disabled. The attendant guides guests verbally instead. This is the default mode for celebrity and high-profile estate bookings.
