Looking to bring timeless charm to your celebration? At Captured Celebrations, our vintage photo booth rentals are the perfect match for Pasadena’s historic venues and stylish gatherings. From Weddings and quinceañeras to Corporate Events and galas, our booths combine nostalgic design with modern photo technology, ensuring your guests leave with memories they’ll treasure.
What Is a Vintage Photo Booth?
A vintage photo booth combines the classic look of early photography with modern-day convenience and quality. The appeal lies in the design and details—it looks like it could have been part of a glamorous Hollywood party in the 1920s, yet it’s powered with today’s advanced photo technology.

Our Retro Mirror Booth is a favorite for vintage-inspired events. While it may look like something from the past, it features:
A beautiful, decorative frame that becomes part of your event décor
A full-length mirror touch screen that guests love interacting with
A professional DSLR camera and studio lighting for flattering photos
Custom-designed templates that can match your event theme
Guests enjoy the vintage aesthetic while benefiting from sharp, studio-quality photos.

Vintage vs. Modern Booths — Which Is Right for Your Event?

Many Pasadena clients even combine both—a vintage booth as the stylish centerpiece plus a Roamer Photo Booth or Paparazzi Photo Booth to capture candid fun on the go.
Which One Should You Choose?
If you want nostalgia, elegance, and character, a vintage booth is the perfect choice.
If you prefer innovation, sleek branding, and digital buzz, a modern booth will shine.
Many of our Pasadena clients actually book both options—a vintage booth as the stylish centerpiece and a modern booth or roamer to capture more candid fun on the go.
At Captured Celebrations, we’ll help you decide which option works best for your venue, theme, and guest experience.
