Afterlight Booth Co. is a premier modern photo booth rental serving Orange County, with Costa Mesa right in our backyard and no travel fees on any event in the city. We work with weddings at hotels like The Westin South Coast Plaza and Avenue of the Arts, corporate galas in venues near the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, brand activations around South Coast Plaza, and creative events in the SoBeCa, LAB, and CAMP corridor. Whether you're hosting at the OC Fair & Event Center or somewhere smaller and more intimate, our open-air booth fits the design-forward feel of Costa Mesa events: clean lines, modern templates, instant sharing, and a setup that complements your space instead of fighting it. We can quote same-day, lock in your date in under an hour, and arrive ready to make your event one your guests will remember.
Afterlight is built around the details that make an event memorable, not just the booth itself. Every package includes studio-quality photos from a professional DSLR camera and lighting setup, custom-designed photo templates tailored to your event, premium backdrops, and a curated prop selection that fits the tone of the day. Setup and teardown are always handled by our team and always included in the price. You won't get a surprise travel fee, a surprise overtime charge, or a stack of add-ons at checkout. For weddings and private parties, you can choose between a fully-attended booth or a self-serve setup depending on the vibe you're going for. For corporate galas and brand activations, our Reserve package adds branded overlays, custom backdrops, and optional data capture so your team leaves the event with both the guest experience and the lead list. Across every package, the goal is the same: a booth experience that fits the design and feel of your event, and photos your guests will actually share and remember long after the night ends.
Our Costa Mesa photo booth packages start at $699 for our Social tier (self-serve open-air booth) and go up to $1,799 for our Reserve tier (premium attended setup with custom branding). The Classic package at $1,099 is our most-booked option for weddings and corporate events. All packages include custom-designed photo templates, instant digital sharing, and setup and teardown handled by our team.
No. Costa Mesa is right in our backyard and we don't charge travel fees for any events within the city. This includes The Westin South Coast Plaza, Avenue of the Arts Hotel, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, OC Fair & Event Center, and all venues throughout the SoBeCa, South Coast Metro, and Eastside Costa Mesa areas.
For Saturday weddings at popular Costa Mesa venues, we recommend booking 4-6 months in advance. Corporate galas and brand activations are usually flexible up to 2-4 weeks out depending on the date. For smaller events, we can often accommodate bookings within 7-14 days. The faster you reach out, the more flexibility you have on package customization.
Yes, regularly. We work with planners at venues like The Westin South Coast Plaza, Avenue of the Arts, and other Costa Mesa event spaces, and we coordinate directly with them on load-in, timing, and setup logistics so you don't have to be in the middle.
Absolutely. Custom photo templates, branded overlays, custom backdrops, and tailored digital sharing experiences are all included in our Classic and Reserve packages. For Costa Mesa corporate galas and brand activations, we work with your marketing team or event planner to make sure the booth visually matches the event identity, and our Reserve package can include optional guest data capture for lead-list events.
Instant digital sharing is included in every package, so guests can text or email themselves their photo immediately. Physical prints are included in our Classic ($1,099) and Reserve ($1,799) packages. Our Social tier ($699) is digital-only, which is often the right fit for casual events or activations where prints aren't necessary.
Open-air booths use a backdrop and a professional camera setup rather than an enclosed kiosk, which gives you flexibility on group size (we can fit 8 or more people in a single shot), better photo quality, and a setup that fits the aesthetic of design-forward Costa Mesa events. Traditional enclosed booths are smaller, lower-resolution, and feel out of place at modern venues.
We serve Costa Mesa and the surrounding Orange County area, including Newport Beach, Irvine, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, and Huntington Beach, with no travel fees within OC.
Let's bring your celebration to life with an unforgettable photo experience in Costa Mesa.
