Our Story

From One Booth to Ten Thousand Events

It started with a single photo booth and a simple idea: every guest at every event deserves to feel like a star. No rushed photos, no cheap prints, no "good enough."

What began as a side hustle quickly became a mission. We invested in professional-grade equipment, hired dedicated attendants who actually care, and built systems that make every event run flawlessly — whether it's a 50-person birthday in Chino Hills or a 2,000-person corporate gala in Anaheim.

Today we operate 7 unique photo booth experiences and have produced over 10,000 events across Southern California — from the Inland Empire to Orange County and beyond. We're veteran-owned, family-operated, and still obsessed with getting every detail right.

Meet the Founder

Built by Someone Who's Been in Your Shoes

Not a tech startup. A service company run by operators.
Founder of The Photo Booth Guy, veteran-owned photo booth company in Southern California
Andrew Cruz
Co-Founder & Lead Operator

Before photo booths, there was the military. The discipline, the logistics training, the obsession with preparation — that's where it started. When you've planned operations where failure isn't an option, running a flawless event becomes second nature.

The photo booth business began in 2017 with one booth and a pickup truck. No investors, no business plan — just a conviction that the industry was full of operators doing the bare minimum. Cheap equipment, untrained attendants, hourly caps designed to squeeze customers.

We built the opposite. Premium equipment. Trained attendants who treat your event like their own. Unlimited time on every package because watching the clock at someone's wedding is insulting. Custom designs because cookie-cutter templates are lazy.

10,000+ events later, the mission hasn't changed. Every setup still gets checked twice. Every attendant still arrives early. Every guest still gets treated like the only person in the room.
