Elijah's Photobooth CompanyThe photo booth your guests line up for.
Guests step in front of our green screen, pick a backdrop on the screen, grab a prop, strike a pose, and scan a code to take the photo home. Based in Manteca, CA and booking weddings, birthdays, seasonal, school and company events across the Central Valley and the Bay Area.
From $299 for 2 hours, setup included. Running it yourself? Try a free instant booth.
Same pose, any backdrop. Guests choose the background on the booth screen.
What your guests get, and what you keep.
Everything happens on the booth screen and on guests' own phones. Nobody downloads an app or makes an account.
Any backdrop, or your real one
Our green screen swaps in beaches, skylines, confetti, or a backdrop designed for your event. Already have a flower wall, balloon arch or a gorgeous venue? We can shoot in front of that instead, no green screen needed.
Photos straight to their phones
Each photo comes with a QR code. Guests scan it, save the photo and share it before they leave the booth. No forms at the booth, so the line keeps moving.
Photos that look their best
Sharp, high-resolution photos with a look to match your event: natural, auto colour, a soft “glam” finish or classic black and white. The booth picks the sharpest frame, so nobody gets a blurry shot.
A frame made for your event
Your names, date, logo or theme on every photo, in portrait, landscape or classic photo-strip layouts. Want variety? The frame can change from one photo to the next. Have sponsors? Their logos can be stamped on every print and download.
Unlimited printsAdd-on
Add printing and every guest walks away with a print in seconds, as many as they like.
A live slideshow on a 32-inch screenAdd-on
Photos appear on a 4K monitor on a floor stand as they are taken. You decide whether every photo shows right away or only the ones you approve.
Your photographer’s shots, too
Hired a photographer? We give them an upload link so their photos land in the same gallery and slideshow as the booth’s.
Every photo, full resolution
After the event you get one gallery link with every photo and a single download of the full-resolution originals.
You stay in control
Hide any photo from the gallery or slideshow with one tap. Guests only see what you are happy to share, and every guest’s own photo stays on its private link.
A photo contest
Guests enter their photo from their phone in two taps, then everyone votes with a heart in the gallery’s Contest tab. We approve entries first, voting closes at the time you choose, the winners take over the slideshow, and they get an email with their prize.
Collect guest emails, with consentFor businesses
Running a company or brand event? Guests can get their photo by email, with a separate, unticked box for news and offers. You get a clean list tagged by event.
Help when a guest needs it
Every photo page has a “Get help” link. A guest who cannot save their photo reaches us directly, and we reply by email.

Questions people ask.
How much space do you need?
About 10 ft wide by 10 ft deep for the backdrop, the ring lights and room for guests to pose, plus a spot for the props table. Indoors or under cover outdoors works best.
Do you need power?
One standard outlet within about 25 ft. No outlet nearby? We can bring our own power supply for an extra fee, just tick the box when you book.
Do you need Wi-Fi?
Guests get their photos through the internet, so the booth needs a connection. Venue Wi-Fi works. If there is none, we can bring our own internet for an extra fee.
When do you arrive?
Before your booth start time, so we are set up and tested when guests arrive. Tell us the earliest time the venue lets vendors in.
Do you travel?
Travel is free within 40 miles of Manteca, CA. For venues farther away, a travel fee may apply. We will tell you the amount during or after booking, before anything extra is charged.
Do I need a green screen?
No. Green screen is our signature (guests pick any backdrop on the screen), but if your venue or decor is the star, we shoot in front of it instead. Tell us when you book.
What if a guest wears green?
Green clothing can blend into a green screen. When we spot it, we switch the booth to blue-screen mode so everyone shows up clearly.
How do guests get their photos?
Each photo shows a QR code on the booth screen. Guests scan it with their phone camera to save and share. You also get a link to the whole gallery after the event.
Can guests vote on photos?
Yes. With the photo contest on, guests can enter their photo from their phone after scanning the QR code (an email and agreeing to the contest rules). Approved entries appear in the gallery’s Contest tab, where everyone votes with a heart. You choose when voting closes, how many winners (1 to 5) and the prize; winners are emailed their prize automatically.
Do guests have to give their email?
No. Guests just scan and save. Giving an email is always optional: to get a copy by email or to enter a photo contest. News and offers are a separate box that is never ticked for them.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancel more than 7 days before the event and everything you paid is refunded. Within 7 days, we keep the deposit and refund anything you paid above it. Within 3 days, nothing is refunded.
Can I book over the phone?
Yes: call (925) 505-0222. We set up the booking with you and text or email you a link to review it and pay, or take your card on the call. A small convenience fee may apply to bookings made by phone; booking here on the website never has one.
Will you text me?
Only if you say texts are OK when you book: your payment link, your confirmation and balance reminders. Never marketing. Have a question? Just reply to our text and we will get back to you. Reply STOP to any text to stop them.
When is the balance due?
7 days before the event. We email you a payment link 14 days before (right away if you book later than that). If it’s still unpaid 3 days before, we send a cancellation notice and only set up if you pay or agree to pay in full at the event before we start. Need more time? Call us.
No question matches that. Email us at [email protected] or call (925) 505-0222 and we will help.
