The Photo Booth Guy at St Regis Monarch Beach Resort

A photo booth that survives the Pacific Bluffs wind.

The St. Regis Monarch Beach at 1 Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point sits on the bluffs above the Pacific — Marriott Luxury Brand operations, Forbes Five-Star service, and one of the more wind-exposed coastal event venues in Southern California. Pacific Bluffs ceremonies and Coastline Lawn cocktail hours both demand wind-rated outdoor kit: 15-pound sandbag ballast on every backdrop stand, tent-rated fallback structure, and a setup plan that accounts for marine-layer rolloff.

The 360 video booth is our canonical Pacific Bluffs pick. The slow-motion capture matches the sunset-wedding energy, and the ocean horizon becomes the natural backdrop without any styling work. Monarch Bay Ballroom evening receptions shift to the Glam booth — the formal palette and the chandelier lighting both pair with the black-and-white skin-retouch profile. The Photo Booth Guy ships venue-rated COI naming Monarch Beach LLC + Marriott International on every St. Regis booking 30 days out.

Founder Andrew Cruz, a USMC veteran, started this company because he watched too many Dana Point couples get burned by drop-off vendors at properties like the St. Regis where Forbes Five-Star standards leave no margin. The Photo Booth Guy runs on owner-overseen bookings and attendant-included service on every event. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ Yelp and Google reviews. 1 in 6 of our clients rebook.

Hosting a wedding, corporate retreat, charity gala, or brand activation at the St. Regis Monarch Beach? Dana Point photo booth rental involves a small travel calculation — your fixed quote shows the exact number up front, no surprises on the proposal. 360 Video Booth for the Bluffs, Glam Booth for the ballroom — happy to recommend the right pick once we see the program.

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.
