Open-air booth, custom templates, and instant digital sharing for weddings, anniversaries, milestone parties, and corporate events across Orange County.
Afterlight Booth Co. is a premier modern photo booth rental serving Orange County, with full coverage across Laguna Hills and the central Saddleback Valley. We work with hotel-ballroom weddings and receptions in the Crystal Ballroom at The Hills Hotel, hotel events at the newer Tiller House on the former Moulton Ranch land, and upscale residential milestones and anniversaries out of the Nellie Gail Ranch equestrian estate community. Laguna Hills sits in the middle of south county and behaves like a hotel-and-residential market, so the booth flexes to fit each occasion: a full-service setup for a 280-guest ballroom reception, a clean configuration for a corporate party, and a relaxed self-serve booth for a milestone at home. Our open-air booth fits eight or more guests in a single frame, shares photos instantly, and prints on the spot when you want a keepsake to take home. Whether you are planning a Crystal Ballroom wedding or an anniversary dinner in Nellie Gail, we keep setup easy and the photos sharp. We quote same-day, hold your date in under an hour, and arrive ready to make the night easy.
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. Because Laguna Hills sits centrally in south county, we reach The Hills Hotel, Tiller House, and Nellie Gail quickly, and few premium booth operators bother to write a genuine Laguna Hills page or name these venues directly. For hotel ballroom weddings the Classic package tends to be the sweet spot: a fully-attended booth, unlimited prints your guests take home, and custom templates designed around your colors and the ballroom character. For upscale Nellie Gail celebrations and larger receptions, our Reserve package adds branded overlays, custom backdrops, and optional data capture when the event calls for it. The upscale residential layer is a real part of this market, and a page that speaks to both hotel weddings and at-home family milestones captures more of the local mix than a wedding-only approach. The same booth scales up for a Crystal Ballroom reception and scales down for a relaxed party at home, and it still fits eight or more guests in a single frame. 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 share and remember long after the night ends.

Our Laguna Hills 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).

No. We cover south Orange County from our Laguna Beach office, so there are no travel fees for Laguna Hills events, including The Hills Hotel, Tiller House, and Nellie Gail Ranch.
For Saturday weddings in the Crystal Ballroom at The Hills Hotel and other popular venues, we recommend booking 4-6 months in advance, since hotel ballroom dates fill quickly. Anniversaries and residential 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 teams at The Hills Hotel, Tiller House, and other Laguna Hills venues on load-in, timing, and setup, and we're glad to work alongside your planner or the venue's event staff.
Absolutely. A big share of Laguna Hills events are residential milestones, anniversaries, and at-home parties, including higher-budget celebrations in the Nellie Gail Ranch estate community. Custom templates, fun props, and on-the-spot prints make the booth a favorite for guests of every age.
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 aesthetic of Laguna Hills events. Traditional enclosed booths are smaller, lower-resolution, and feel out of place at modern venues.
Events in Laguna Hills are well served by local venues and nearby Laguna Niguel and Aliso Viejo clubs. We are available to set up our open-air photo booth at golf and country clubs, banquet halls, and private venues across the Laguna Hills area.
We serve Laguna Hills and the surrounding south Orange County area, including Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, and Mission Viejo, with no travel fees within OC.
Let's bring your celebration to life with an unforgettable photo experience in Laguna Hills.
