"I had a great experience with PBG from the start. They were one of the easiest vendors I worked with for my wedding. Their clear, constant communication made the entire process so simple, and our photos came out beautifully."
"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. 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 Laguna Beach 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 Laguna Beach ZIPs (92651, 92652). If your venue has a 110V outlet and a 10×10 ft footprint, we're set up.
Laguna Beach is a luxury wedding market unlike any other in Orange County — clients fly in from New York, Chicago, and London for a single day at the Montage Laguna Beach oceanfront lawn or the Ranch at Laguna Beach canyon courtyard. Budgets and standards are top-of-market. The booth has to disappear into a room that costs $40,000 to flip, then deliver a print or clip every guest will frame.
We've staged the booth at every marquee Laguna venue: Montage (oceanfront lawn ceremonies + Lobby Lounge cocktail receptions), The Ranch at Laguna Beach (Harvest Restaurant, courtyard, vineyard ceremonies), Seven-Degrees (gallery walls and rooftop terrace), Surf & Sand Resort (oceanfront ballroom + Aquaterra Spa events), and the Festival of Arts Forum. Each room has its own footprint quirks — Montage's Lobby Lounge has a load-in window through the bell desk, Seven-Degrees requires gallery-friendly cabling that doesn't trip over fine art, and the Ranch's canyon location means we pre-stage extra spares from our support kit because the cell signal drops in spots.
The Glam Booth is the most-requested Laguna setup — its B&W studio portraits match the editorial-wedding aesthetic that Montage and Surf & Sand clients lean toward. Mirror Booth runs a close second for couples who want signature 4×6 prints with custom monograms keyed to the invitation suite.
Booking lead time: peak Laguna wedding dates (May-October Saturdays) typically book the booth 9-12 months ahead. Holiday-week dates and the Festival of Arts season (July-August) book even further out — reach out as soon as your venue contract is signed. Permits + COI: Montage and the Ranch require certificates of insurance naming the property; we issue the COI at booking. Public-park ceremonies at Heisler Park or Treasure Island require a Laguna Beach event permit through the city — we coordinate the rider when needed. Travel: Laguna Beach is inside our standard service zone — no travel fees for any address from Three Arch Bay through Top of the World to Emerald Bay.

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.

The Glam Booth (studio-quality B&W portraits with a real-time beauty filter) is the most-requested setup for Montage weddings — it matches the editorial-wedding aesthetic and produces magazine-quality 4×6 prints guests actually frame. The Mirror Booth runs a close second for couples who want signature 4×6 prints with custom monograms keyed to their invitation suite.
Yes. We've worked the Ranch courtyard, Harvest Restaurant, and the canyon ceremony lawn many times. The canyon location has a few quirks — slower load-in path, weaker cell signal in spots — so we pre-stage extra spares from our support kit and brief the attendant on the run-of-show before arrival.
Yes. We carry full general liability + equipment coverage and issue a Certificate of Insurance naming Montage Hotels & Resorts, the Ranch at Laguna Beach, Surf & Sand, or any other Laguna venue at booking. Most Laguna venues require a COI 30 days out — we deliver it within one business day of the booking confirmation.
No. Laguna Beach is inside our standard service zone — every neighborhood from Three Arch Bay through North Laguna and Top of the World to Emerald Bay is included with zero travel fees. Hillside private homes and beach-house events are quoted at the same flat rate as a venue setup.
