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.
