From the founder

Why I started The Photo Booth Guy

Nine years. 5,500+ events. Every booking still attended personally or by an attendant I trained.

Andrew Cruz, founder of The Photo Booth Guy — USMC veteran
🎖 Veteran-owned · USMC Ret. Andrew Cruz · Founder & lead operator since 2017

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.

Before you book

Photo Booth Rental FAQ — Downey, CA

Most-asked questions from couples, planners, and corporate event leads.

How much does a photo booth rental cost in Downey?

Photo booth rentals in Downey, CA typically run $395–$650 depending on hours, booth type (open-air, mirror, or 360), and add-ons like custom backdrops or guest books. We send a fixed quote up front — no surprise fees, no travel charge inside our standard service area.

How far in advance should I book a photo booth in Downey?

Saturdays in Downey fill up 4–8 weeks out and peak wedding season (April–October) often books 3–6 months in advance. If you have a specific date in mind, lock it in as early as possible. We can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests with 1–2 weeks notice.

Do you serve all of Downey and the surrounding Los Angeles County?

Yes — we cover every neighborhood and venue in Downey, from private residences to hotels, banquet halls, country clubs, and outdoor venues. We cover all of Los Angeles County with no extra travel fees inside our standard service radius.

What types of events do you do in Downey?

Weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, school dances, graduations, holiday parties, fundraisers, and brand activations. We bring the same professional setup to a backyard birthday in Downey as we do to a 500-guest gala — only the package size changes.

How much space does the photo booth need?

Our standard open-air booth needs a 10x10 ft area with access to a single power outlet. The 360 booth needs slightly more — about 12x12 ft. We can work in tighter spaces too; just send us a quick photo of the spot during planning and we'll confirm fit.

What's included in a photo booth rental in Downey?

Every package includes a professional attendant on-site, unlimited photo sessions, instant prints (or digital sharing depending on package), a curated prop selection, custom photo template with your event branding, and a digital gallery delivered after the event.
