LACMA events run on museum-conservation protocol — protected floors, Urban Light installation as the iconic backdrop, and strict load-in windows around gallery hours. We bring the museum-protocol kit on every booking.
“I review every event the morning of — that’s the deal.” — Andrew Cruz, founder · USMC vet
If you're hosting at LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Art, here are the venue-specific facts every photo booth vendor should know before quoting your event.
6th Street service entrance. LACMA Events books freight slot through the museum operations team. COI naming Los Angeles County Museum of Art Foundation + County of LA required. No flash photography in galleries.
Glam (B&W skin retouch) for evening galas at the Smidt Welcome Plaza or BCAM. 360 video booth for Urban Light installation activations.
LACMA at 5905 Wilshire Boulevard is the largest art museum in the western United States — a campus that includes the iconic Urban Light installation, the BCAM contemporary building, and the Smidt Welcome Plaza. Hosting an event here means working under museum-conservation protocol: protected floors, no anchoring into stone or marble, no flash photography during gallery-adjacent hours, and ambient LED only on every booth. The Photo Booth Guy carries a COI naming LACMA Foundation + County of Los Angeles 30 days out and clears every freight slot through LACMA Events.
The Glam booth's black-and-white skin-retouch profile is our canonical LACMA pick. Smidt Welcome Plaza evening galas and BCAM corporate events both call for prints that look like they belong in a museum gift shop rather than competing with the art on the walls. Urban Light brand activations shift to the 360 video booth — the streetlamp installation becomes the natural backdrop, and the slow-motion capture matches the iconic-photo-op intent of the audience.
Founder Andrew Cruz, a USMC veteran, built The Photo Booth Guy on the premise that every event has a uniformed attendant on it for the full event window. LACMA events specifically get this treatment because the museum-conservation rules demand vendor-level discipline that drop-off vendors can't deliver. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ Yelp and Google reviews. 1 in 6 of our clients book us a second time.
Hosting a corporate gala, fundraiser, brand activation, or cultural sponsor event at LACMA? Your fixed proposal includes the LACMA Foundation + County COI, the museum-protocol kit, the freight-slot coordination, and a uniformed attendant on-site for the full event window. Los Angeles photo booth rental is our most-requested service area; LACMA events get a tailored proposal because the booth pick changes by gallery space. Glam Booth remains our museum-protocol default.

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.
