Open-air booth, custom templates, and instant digital sharing for weddings, harbor celebrations, corporate events, and milestone parties across Orange County.
Afterlight Booth Co. is a premier modern photo booth rental serving Orange County, and Dana Point is one of the south-coast luxury markets we serve most often. We work with oceanfront resort weddings at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club and the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa, harbor and yacht-club celebrations through the Dana Point Yacht Club and bluff-top venues like the Chart House overlooking the water. Dana Point runs on high-budget destination weddings and wedding-weekend programming, with out-of-town guests, resort room blocks, and welcome receptions leading into the main event, so our open-air booth is built to match: clean lines, custom-designed templates, instant digital sharing, and a compact setup that fits a Five-Diamond ballroom or a tighter waterfront terrace. The booth fits eight or more guests in a single frame and prints on the spot when you want a keepsake to take home. Whether you are planning a Reserve-tier wedding on the bluffs or a multi-day celebration at Monarch Beach, the booth complements the room instead of crowding it. We can quote same-day, lock in your date in under an hour, and arrive ready to give your guests photos they will actually want to keep.
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 will not 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 are going for. For resort galas and brand activations, our Reserve package adds branded overlays, custom backdrops, and optional data capture so your team leaves with both the guest experience and the lead list. Dana Point is a genuine luxury market anchored by oceanfront resorts, so the Reserve tier tends to be the natural fit here: attended service, custom print design, and a clean modern look that holds its own at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach or on the bluffs above the harbor, with Classic as the standard wedding option. The booth is compact enough to configure for tighter waterfront terraces and yacht-club spaces, and it still fits eight or more guests in a single frame. We are comfortable with destination and wedding-weekend logistics, coordinating load-in and timing across welcome receptions, rehearsal dinners, and the main event. Across every package the goal is the same: a booth experience that matches the design and feel of a Dana Point event, and photos your guests will share and remember long after the night ends.

Our Dana Point 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 events. All packages include custom-designed photo templates, instant digital sharing, and setup and teardown handled by our team.
No. We cover south Orange County from our Laguna Beach office, so there are no travel fees for Dana Point events. That includes the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach, Laguna Cliffs Marriott, and the Dana Point Yacht Club.
For Saturday weddings at popular Dana Point venues, we recommend booking 4-6 months in advance, since oceanfront resort and harbor dates in peak season go especially fast. Corporate events and milestone parties are usually flexible up to 2-4 weeks out, and smaller events can often be booked within 7-14 days.
Yes. We coordinate directly with the event teams at venues like the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort, the Laguna Cliffs Marriott, and the Dana Point Yacht Club on load-in, timing, and setup for ballroom, terrace, and harbor events.
Yes. A large share of Dana Point weddings are destination and wedding-weekend events with out-of-town guests and resort room blocks. We are comfortable coordinating across welcome receptions, rehearsal dinners, and the main event, and we set up cleanly in tighter waterfront and terrace spaces.
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 parties 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 oceanfront luxury aesthetic of Dana Point events. Traditional enclosed booths are smaller, lower-resolution, and feel out of place at modern resort venues.
Popular event venues in Dana Point include the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort, The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, and Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa. We are available to set up our open-air photo booth at oceanfront resorts, hotels, and private venues across the Dana Point area.
We serve Dana Point and the surrounding south Orange County area, including San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, San Clemente, and Laguna Beach, with no travel fees within OC.
Let's bring your celebration to life with an unforgettable photo experience in Dana Point.
