"Overall they did a great job. The white booth with props came out perfectly. It had that added vibe to the party. They were easy to talk to and followed instructions well."
"PBG came to my 30th birthday party and did a fantastic job. From requesting a quote to processing all the logistics to designing my template and finally the day of the event, everything went smoothly."

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. Your proof arrives at least 1 to 2 weeks 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 Aliso Viejo 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 Aliso Viejo ZIPs (92656). If your venue has a 110V outlet within 50 ft and 8×8 ft of floor space (10×10 ft for the 360), 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 149+ 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.

The lower end of that range typically covers a foundational rental experience, while packages toward the higher end incorporate additional features, longer rental hours, or enhanced options that make the booth more interactive and personalized for guests. Because pricing varies based on event type, duration, and any add-ons you select, The Photo Booth Guy recommends reaching out directly to discuss what fits your budget and vision. Calling (909) 570-1988 is the fastest way to get an accurate quote for your specific date and setup.

The Photo Booth Guy is based in Chino, California, and regularly travels to serve clients throughout Orange County, including Aliso Viejo. The company's reach across the region means that distance from their home base does not prevent Aliso Viejo residents and event planners from accessing their services. For events outside the immediate service area or for destination-style events requiring longer travel, it is worth contacting the team directly to discuss logistics and whether any travel considerations apply to your specific booking. Calling (909) 570-1988 allows you to confirm availability for your location, get clarity on any travel-related details, and ensure there are no surprises on the day of your event. Their history of serving Orange County clients reflects a willingness to bring their services to where the events are rather than limiting their work to a narrow geographic footprint.
Booking a photo booth with The Photo Booth Guy starts with a conversation.

From there, they can walk you through available packages within the $425 to $1,050 range and help you identify the right fit. As for timing, it is wise to reach out as early as possible — popular dates in Orange County, especially for weddings and corporate events, tend to book quickly. Giving yourself several months of lead time is a reasonable approach for large events, while smaller gatherings may have more flexibility depending on the season. The Photo Booth Guy's 4.9-star rating across more than 750 reviews reflects a process that clients find smooth from initial inquiry through event day, so starting the conversation early is the best way to secure your date with confidence.
