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.

Photo Booth Rental FAQ — Palm Desert, CA

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

How much does a photo booth rental cost in Palm Desert?

Photo booth rentals in Palm Desert, 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 Palm Desert?

Saturdays in Palm Desert 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.

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.
