Open-air booth, custom templates, and instant digital sharing for weddings, yacht celebrations, corporate events, and milestone parties across Orange County.
Afterlight Booth Co. is a premier modern photo booth rental serving Orange County, and Newport Beach is one of the coastal markets we serve most often. We work with weddings at waterfront resorts like Balboa Bay Resort, Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort, and Lido House, harbor and yacht celebrations through City Cruises and the Balboa Yacht Club, and upscale corporate events and milestone parties around Fashion Island and Newport Center. Newport runs on luxury coastal celebrations, so our open-air booth is built to match: clean lines, custom-designed templates, instant digital sharing, and a compact setup that works on tight yacht decks and in waterfront ballrooms alike. Whether you are planning a Reserve-tier wedding on the harbor or an anniversary dinner overlooking the water, 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 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 with both the guest experience and the lead list. In Newport, most of what we set up is on the higher end, so the Reserve tier tends to be the natural fit: attended service, custom print design, and a clean modern look that holds its own at Balboa Bay Resort or on a chartered yacht. The booth is compact enough to configure for tight harbor decks and waterfront terraces, and it still fits eight or more guests in a single frame. Across every package the goal is the same: a booth experience that matches the design and feel of a Newport event, and photos your guests will share and remember long after the night ends.
Our Newport Beach 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. Newport Beach is part of our core Orange County service area, so there are no travel fees for events in the city. That includes Balboa Bay Resort, Newport Dunes, Lido House, and venues around Fashion Island and the Balboa Peninsula.
For Saturday weddings at popular Newport Beach venues, we recommend booking 4-6 months in advance, and yacht and harbor dates in peak season go especially fast. Corporate events and milestone parties are usually flexible up to 2-4 weeks out, and for smaller events we can often accommodate bookings within 7-14 days.
Yes. We work with planners and coordinators at venues like Balboa Bay Resort, Newport Dunes, and Lido House, and with charter teams on harbor and yacht events, coordinating directly on load-in, timing, and setup so you don't have to be in the middle.
Yes. Our open-air booth is compact and configures to fit tight yacht decks and waterfront venues, with the same DSLR photo quality and instant sharing as a full ballroom setup. Tell us the boat or venue and we'll plan a layout that fits the space.
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 Newport Beach events. Traditional enclosed booths are smaller, lower-resolution, and feel out of place at modern venues.
We serve Newport Beach and the surrounding Orange County area, including Costa Mesa, Irvine, Laguna Beach, and Huntington Beach, with no travel fees within OC.
Let's bring your celebration to life with an unforgettable photo experience in Newport Beach.
