We're thrilled to share some exciting news: Captured Celebrations has been featured in the Los Angeles Times as part of their guide to Southern California wedding vendors! This recognition is incredibly meaningful to us and reflects the journey we've been on since starting this business.
How It All Started: A Mother's Love
The story of Captured Celebrations begins with a very personal moment—planning my daughter's quinceañera. Like many parents, I wanted her celebration to be perfect, with every detail reflecting her personality and our family's love. When searching for a photo booth, I couldn't find exactly what I envisioned: something that combined professional quality with genuine warmth and personal attention.
That search became the spark for Captured Celebrations. I thought, "If I'm looking for this kind of service, other families must be too." What started as a solution for one quinceañera has grown into serving hundreds of celebrations across Los Angeles, Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, and Santa Clarita.
Building Something Special in Los Angeles
From day one, our mission has been simple: create photo booth experiences that feel authentic, professional, and memorable. We're not just setting up equipment—we're becoming part of your celebration, understanding what matters to you, and making sure every guest leaves with photos they'll treasure.
Being featured in the LA Times wedding vendors guide validates what we've always believed: that personal attention, cultural awareness, and genuine care for our clients make all the difference.
What Makes Captured Celebrations Different
Professional Equipment, Personal Service
We invested in professional DSLR cameras—not phone cameras—because your photos deserve the best quality. Every setup includes:
Studio-quality photography with professional lighting
AI photo booth technology for creative, instant transformations
Customizable backdrops and templates that match your event perfectly
Same-day setup so you never worry about logistics
Bilingual service when needed, because communication matters
Understanding What Matters
Whether it's a wedding, quinceañera, corporate event, or milestone birthday, we understand that each celebration has its own significance. We've worked with:
Traditional church weddings and modern loft ceremonies
Intimate backyard quinceañeras and grand ballroom celebrations
Corporate holiday parties and brand activation events
Sweet 16s, anniversaries, baby showers, and everything in between
Every event is different, and we adapt to your needs, traditions, and vision.
Award-Winning Service
The LA Times feature is one of several recognitions we've received:
Best Wedding Photo Booth - Booth Mastermind Awards 2025
Best Single Operator - Booth Mastermind Awards 2024
Featured in Los Angeles Times - SoCal Wedding Vendors Guide 2025
These awards reflect our commitment to excellence and the trust our clients place in us. Read more about our press coverage and recognition.
From Quinceañera Planning to Business Owner
Starting this business while planning my daughter's quinceañera taught me so much about what families need during important celebrations. The stress of coordinating vendors, the desire for everything to be perfect, the budget considerations, the cultural traditions that need to be honored—I've experienced it all as a client first.
That perspective shapes everything we do. When you work with Captured Celebrations, you're working with someone who gets it. I've been where you are, felt the same excitement and stress, and wanted the same thing: a beautiful celebration with minimal stress and maximum joy.
