Three reasons your event runs without a hitch — every time.
SetupOur setup crew arrives 90 minutes before guests do. Every booth is calibrated, tested, and styled to the venue before the first guest walks in — so when the party starts, the booth doesn’t need a second of your attention.
TemplatesOur in-house designer builds your template from scratch using your colors, your monogram, and your event date. Every template ships at proof stage 5 days before the event so you have time to refine. Zero stock layouts, zero compromise — every single strip carries your name.
ReliabilityCameras, printers, lighting, and laptops get a full diagnostic and tune-up every single week — not just the morning of your event. That’s how we’ve delivered 5,500+ events without a no-show. Reliability isn’t luck. It’s a schedule.
From hotel ballrooms to country club terraces to private estates — we've set up at every kind of Lakewood room. We arrive knowing where the outlets are, which freight elevator to use, and how to load in without breaking step.
Same setup, same crew, same response time across all Lakewood ZIPs (90711, 90712, 90713, 90714, 90715). 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 619+ five-star reviews on Yelp plus 144+ 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.

Photo booth rentals in Lakewood, CA typically run $425–$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.
Saturdays in Lakewood 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.

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 Lakewood as we do to a 500-guest gala — only the package size changes.

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.
