The Photo Booth Guy at Hollywood Bowl

A photo booth crew that respects the stage call.

The Hollywood Bowl is the 2301 N Highland Avenue amphitheater Frank Lloyd Wright Jr. shaped into the LA Phil's 17,500-seat home. The Bowl's events team operates around the symphonic concert calendar, which means every photo booth load-in for a sponsor event, charity gala, or private box reception has to slot between rehearsal call, sound check, and curtain. The Photo Booth Guy works the Bowl on the LA Phil's clock — we coordinate freight access through the Highland Avenue service entrance, hold the booth in pre-stage until the Plaza or Vineyard slot opens, and break down the moment the program calls it.

The 360 video booth is our canonical Hollywood Bowl pick. The slow-motion capture matches the stadium-event energy of corporate sponsorship activations and the audience that comes to the Bowl expects content output that's social-share-ready. For more formal Highland Camrose Pavilion private box receptions we shift to the Mirror booth — it reads as a gallery piece in the pavilion's enclosed footprint and pairs with the Bowl's Hollywood Hills backdrop without needing styling work.

Bowl events run on County of Los Angeles + LA Phil Association protocols. The Photo Booth Guy carries that dual-named COI on file and clears load-ins through the Bowl's events team rather than negotiating each job from scratch. Founder Andrew Cruz is a USMC veteran who built the company on the premise that every booking is owner-overseen and attendant-included — Hollywood Bowl events specifically because the show-schedule choreography demands a vendor who's mapped the load-in cadence. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ reviews. 1 in 6 clients book again.

Hosting a corporate sponsorship event, charity gala, or private box reception at the Hollywood Bowl? Your fixed proposal includes the LA Phil + County COI, the show-schedule load-in coordination, and a uniformed attendant on-site for the full event window. Los Angeles photo booth rental is our most-requested service area; the Bowl specifically gets a tailored proposal because the booth pick depends on the program slot. 360 Video Booth remains our most-requested for stadium-scale sponsor activations.

Five booth styles, one Hollywood Bowl crew.

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 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.

Pricing details and what's included

Photo booth rentals from The Photo Booth Guy in the Los Angeles area are priced between $425 and $1,050, giving clients a meaningful range depending on the scope of their event and the features they want included. The lower end of that range is generally suited to shorter or more straightforward activations, while larger packages that extend the rental period or add premium touches push toward the higher end. Because the specific breakdown of base packages versus upgrades is best confirmed directly with the team, prospective clients are encouraged to call (909) 570-1988 to get a detailed quote tailored to their Los Angeles event.

Venue logistics in Los Angeles
The Photo Booth Guy has built experience working across the diverse venue landscape that Los Angeles County offers, from ballrooms in downtown Los Angeles to outdoor spaces in the surrounding neighborhoods and suburbs. Los Angeles venues each come with their own load-in windows, freight elevator schedules, and setup requirements, and working with a company that has navigated this environment matters when you are coordinating a larger event with multiple vendors. The Photo Booth Guy's team arrives prepared to meet venue-specific constraints, including power access, floor protection policies, and space limitations that are common at both historic properties and modern event spaces throughout the city. Because Los Angeles venues range dramatically in layout and rules, the team recommends sharing your venue contact and any vendor guidelines when you book so setup can be planned precisely. To find out whether The Photo Booth Guy has worked at your specific venue or to discuss logistics, call (909) 570-1988 and a team member can speak to your location directly.
