The Photo Booth Guy at The Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa

A booth that survives the Carlsbad Pacific breeze.

The Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa at 5480 Grand Pacific Drive is the Marriott Westin-brand property that anchors North County San Diego coastal events — Pacific Ballroom, Pacific Ballroom Lawn, Spa Pool Deck, and Lobby Lounge all positioned to capture coastal sightlines and Pacific breeze. The Photo Booth Guy works the Westin Carlsbad on a Marriott-International COI and ships wind-rated outdoor kit for any Pacific Ballroom Lawn ceremony: 15-pound sandbag ballast, tent-rated fallback, and a setup plan that accounts for marine-layer rolloff.

The Glam booth's black-and-white skin-retouch profile is our canonical Pacific Ballroom pick — the room's chandelier lighting and the Westin-brand event setup both pair with the formal print register. Pacific Ballroom Lawn outdoor weddings shift to the 360 video booth, where the Pacific horizon becomes the natural backdrop and the slow-motion capture matches sunset-ceremony energy. Spa Pool Deck functions use the Social booth for the more casual content-output expected at daytime resort events.

The Photo Booth Guy is USMC veteran-owned, founded by Andrew Cruz in 2017. Andrew personally reviews every San Diego County event the morning it happens. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ reviews. 1 in 6 of our clients rebook. Owner-overseen, attendant-included on every booking.

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.
