The Photo Booth Guy at Sunnylands Center & Gardens

A photo booth that respects the Annenberg Trust's conservation rules.

Sunnylands Center & Gardens at 37977 Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage is the Annenberg Foundation Trust's mid-century-modern estate — the historic Walter and Leonore Annenberg residence plus the Visitor Center, Auditorium, and 9-acre gardens. Events here run on Trust protocol that's stricter than most California venues: COI naming The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands 30 days out, no anchoring into stone or brass, ambient LED only, and freight-slot booking through the Center events team.

The Glam booth's black-and-white skin-retouch profile is our canonical Annenberg Estate House pick. The mid-century-modern interior, the original art collection, and the desert-villa palette all pair with prints that read as gallery pieces rather than competing with the residence's design. Center Auditorium cultural galas shift to the Mirror booth for the more contemporary architectural register. Visitor Center Gardens outdoor events use the 360 video booth — the desert landscape becomes the natural backdrop.

The Photo Booth Guy is USMC veteran-owned, founded by Andrew Cruz in 2017. Sunnylands events specifically get Andrew's personal morning-of review because the Annenberg Trust's standards leave zero margin for vendor mistakes. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ reviews. Owner-overseen, attendant-included on every event.

Hosting a cultural gala, diplomatic reception, corporate retreat, or charity fundraiser at Sunnylands Center & Gardens?

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.
