What comes out of it
How the night goes
We arrive early and build a small studio in a corner of your venue. It runs through cocktail hour and the reception, and we pack out without anyone noticing.
A drape, a settee or a chair, one beautiful light. Chosen to match your colors, your florals, or your monogram, so it looks like it was always part of the room.
Someone whose only job all night is your guests. Chin here, lean in, laugh. Thirty seconds and your aunt has the best photo of herself in a decade.
Edited and printed on the spot. Guests take theirs home, sign one into your guestbook, or find it framed on the display table by dessert.
The set is the point
Not a backdrop on a stand. A dressed set that belongs in the room, lit like a studio. Four places to start; every one is finished for your event.
Deep red velvet, pooled on the floor. Old Hollywood, in color or black and white.
Soft pleated ivory. Made for ballrooms, tents, and garden weddings.
Seamless black, one studio light, delivered in black and white. The classic.
A roll of painted canvas, one chair, one light. Built outdoors, edited like a studio.
Very professional. Great photos. Fantastic business.

Such an amazing experience! The staff was nice and friendly!
Common questions
Is the portrait lounge a photo booth?
Not in the usual sense. There's no kiosk and no props on sticks. A photographer works a small studio set inside your venue, directs each guest or group, and the portrait prints within a minute. Think of it as a portrait studio that comes to the party.
How much does the portrait lounge cost?
It starts at $1,250. Every quote is built for the event: hours, guest count, prints, framing, a gallery guestbook, and what we can bring to your venue and market all move the number. You'll have exact pricing before you commit to anything.
How much space does it need?
A corner of the room near power is usually plenty: room for the drape, the light, a chair or settee, and a small print table. We look at your floor plan ahead of time and build it where it fits the flow of the night.
How long does it run?
Most events book it through cocktail hour and the reception, and we plan the hours around your timeline. Your quote spells out the coverage, and extra time is easy to add.
Do guests get digital copies too?
Every portrait can be delivered in an online gallery after the event, alongside the prints guests take home that night. Tell us on the form which you'd like and the quote will reflect it.
Do you do events other than weddings?
Yes. Rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, galas and fundraisers, corporate holiday parties, and milestone celebrations. The set is designed around the event either way.
Where do you travel?
Portland, Seattle, and everywhere within about two hours of either. Farther is possible; mention it on the form and we'll include travel in the quote.
