About us

We don’t just capture moments. We give people confidence.

Founded by Leo and Charles. Now a full-scale production studio.

The Lounge Booth event photography team — Los Angeles production studio

Editorial quality. Party energy.

The Lounge Booth started as an experiment. When the events industry shut down overnight in 2020, founders Charles and Leo went from fully booked to zero jobs.

A friend challenged them to bring high-end fashion photography into a live event setting. They launched at a wedding.

The response was immediate. One guest looked at their portrait and said, “This isn’t a photo booth. This is a photo shoot.”

Six years later, 650+ events and a full production studio. The approach hasn’t changed.

We handle the logistics. You enjoy the event.

Every project starts with a conversation. We align on your vision, the guest experience, and what a successful outcome looks like for you.

Preparation starts weeks before the doors open. We take care of set design, logistics, and the systems that mean guests receive 10–15 edited portraits on their phones within seconds of the shot.

By the time the night begins, everything is in place. You focus on the event. We handle the rest.

In the press

Experienced. Professional. Unobtrusive.

We’re here because we love what we do. And because we think everyone deserves to look and feel their best in a photo.
