What I shoot

what works for you?
The booth has been a fixture at weddings, dive bars, gallery openings, and farmers markets. The modular design makes it perfect for any space or place.
03 / What to expect

Every project is different.

so let's talk
There's no set menu of packages. Pricing is built around your date, guest count, and venue. Here's what stays true no matter the event:
  • Real film, every time

    Every guest walks away holding a physical print. No QR codes, no galleries to wait on.
  • Full Attention to the booth

    I or a trained attendant handles setup, guest flow, and breakdown, start to finish.

  • Built for your space

    Tight bar corners, market stalls, or backyard tents. The booth adapts to the venue you've got.

  • Time that is Flexible

    An hour at a pop-up or six hours at a wedding, the booth time scales to the event.

  • Digital scans, on request

    Most bookings can add a full digital gallery alongside the prints.

  • Travel across the PNW

    Portland is home base; Seattle, Bend, and the coast are regular trips.
