Open-air booth, custom templates, and instant digital sharing for weddings, graduations, milestone parties, and backyard celebrations across Orange County.
Afterlight Booth Co. is a premier modern photo booth rental serving Orange County, with full coverage across Lake Forest and the central Saddleback Valley. We work with weddings in the glass-walled event space at Lake Forest Golf Club, where a renovated clubhouse pairs an original 1800s farmhouse with a modern pergola and deck, upscale receptions at the English Tudor clubhouse of Lake Forest Country Club, and the steady run of backyard birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries across the Foothill Ranch and Baker Ranch neighborhoods. As a large family-residential city, Lake Forest pairs golf-club weddings with everyday milestone parties, so the booth flexes to fit each one: a polished setup for a clubhouse reception, a relaxed self-serve booth for a backyard graduation, and custom templates for every anniversary and family party in between. 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 golf-club wedding or a birthday at home, 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. Lake Forest sits centrally in south county, so we reach Lake Forest Golf Club and Lake Forest Country Club quickly, and few premium booth operators write a genuine Lake Forest page or name those two venues directly. For golf-club 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 clubhouse character, and the floor-to-ceiling glass at Lake Forest Golf Club makes a genuinely photogenic backdrop for an open-air setup. For larger or more upscale receptions, our Reserve package adds branded overlays, custom backdrops, and optional data capture when the event calls for it. Underneath the wedding work sits steady backyard and milestone demand, and for casual graduations, birthdays, and family parties our Social tier is an easy, digital-first fit. The same booth scales up for a clubhouse 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.

No. We cover south Orange County from our Laguna Beach office, so there are no travel fees for Lake Forest events, including Lake Forest Golf Club and Lake Forest Country Club.
For Saturday weddings at Lake Forest Golf Club and Lake Forest Country Club, we recommend booking 4-6 months in advance, since golf-club dates fill quickly. Backyard parties and graduations 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 Lake Forest Golf Club, Lake Forest Country Club, and other local 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 the Lake Forest events we set up for are graduations, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and backyard family parties across Foothill Ranch, Baker Ranch, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Custom templates, fun props, and instant sharing make our Social tier an easy fit for casual at-home gatherings.
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 Lake Forest events. Traditional enclosed booths are smaller, lower-resolution, and feel out of place at modern venues.
Events in Lake Forest are well served by local venues like the Hilton Garden Inn Irvine East and Foothill Ranch event spaces, along with nearby Mission Viejo clubs. We are available to set up our open-air photo booth at hotels, golf clubs, banquet halls, and private venues across the Lake Forest area.
We serve Lake Forest and the surrounding south Orange County area, including Mission Viejo, Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo, and Rancho Santa Margarita, with no travel fees within OC.
Let's bring your celebration to life with an unforgettable photo experience in Lake Forest.
