Before you book

Downey Social Booth rental — questions answered

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

What's the difference between a boomerang and a GIF?

A boomerang is a short video that plays forward then backward on loop. A GIF is a series of frames that create animation. Our booth can create both!

Can guests share directly to Instagram?

Yes! Guests can share their boomerangs and GIFs directly to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or via text message.

Andrew Cruz — Marine Corps Veteran

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.
