We’re back — and better than ever. After over a decade of capturing unforgettable moments for friends, families, and neighbors across the Bay Area, Booth By The Bay is officially relaunching with a fresh new look, new gear, and an even bigger heart for creating joy at your events.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, birthday party, school dance, fundraiser, or company mixer, our coastside photo booth brings more than just a camera — we bring a full experience. We’re based out of Pacifica, California, and proudly serve the events and communities of San Mateo County and beyond with personality, professionalism, and a little bit of surf-town soul.

Why the (Re)Launch?
Like a lot of local businesses, Booth By The Bay started out small. For years, it was a side project fueled by my love of photography and helping friends celebrate life’s milestones. What began as a hobby evolved into something more meaningful — a way to connect with my community and create something people would remember.
But after a stretch of running the business quietly — and a few years of focusing on family and full-time teaching — it was time to reimagine the booth, the brand, and the experience. So, here we are: rebranded, restyled, and ready to roll.

Lifetime Friends – Making Photo Booth Memories
The Heart of Booth By The Bay
We’re more than just a photo booth. We’re a family-run, coastside photo booth company that believes in the power of small details and shared laughter. I operate the business alongside my two teenage sons — both of whom are learning the ropes and helping to bring joy to events all over the Bay.
We know what it’s like to plan a big event. You want something fun and flexible, but you also want vendors who show up on time, treat your guests with kindness, and make the experience feel effortless.
That’s what we do. Every booth setup is tailored, every event is unique, and every guest walks away with a memory in their hand (or on their phone) that lasts long after the party ends.
Who We Serve
We proudly cover Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, San Mateo County, and surrounding areas. From backyard celebrations and community fundraisers to formal galas and school events, our coastside photo booth brings something special to every occasion.
Not sure what booth setup is right for your event? We’ve got options for all budgets, venues, and vibes — and we’re happy to help you figure it out.
