The Photo Booth Guy at Snow Summit Resort

A photo booth that operates at altitude in 8°F.

Snow Summit Resort at 880 Summit Boulevard in Big Bear Lake is one of two Big Bear Mountain Resort properties (sister resort: Bear Mountain) the Alterra Mountain Company operates as Southern California's destination ski-and-summer-event venue. Mountain events demand altitude-aware booth operations: cold-weather-rated kit with an 8°F minimum operating range, generator backup for outdoor hospitality footprints, and a load-in plan that respects the resort's ski-lift schedule and seasonal access.

The 360 video booth is our canonical Snow Summit pick. The slope backdrop becomes the natural visual context, the slow-motion capture matches mountain-event energy, and the content-first output suits the audience that books mountain weddings, brand activations, and corporate retreats. Bear Mountain Lodge Plaza receptions and Snow Summit Lodge indoor events shift to the Mirror booth for the warmer, enclosed footprint.

Founder Andrew Cruz, a USMC veteran, runs The Photo Booth Guy on owner-overseen bookings and uniformed-attendant service. Big Bear events specifically get this discipline because the altitude-aware kit, the cold-weather contingency planning, and the lift-schedule coordination demand a vendor who's done it before. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ reviews. 1 in 6 of our clients rebook.

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.
