School & Prom Photo Booth Rental in Los Angeles
Proms, homecomings, grad nights, winter formals, and school fundraisers — our photo booths bring excitement, safety, and instant social sharing to every school event in LA County.
High school events are some of the most memorable moments in a young person's life, and the photo booth is consistently rated the number-one entertainment feature at proms and school dances across Los Angeles. At Captured Celebrations, we specialize in school event photo booth experiences that combine the excitement students crave with the professionalism and safety that administrators and parent committees require. Every school rental includes a trained, professional attendant who supervises the booth throughout the event — managing lines, assisting students, and ensuring everything runs smoothly in gym, cafeteria, or banquet hall settings. Our custom templates feature the school name, event theme, and date, giving students a printed keepsake they'll hold onto long after the last dance. We've partnered with schools across LAUSD, Glendale Unified, Burbank Unified, and private schools throughout LA County. Our team understands the unique requirements of school events: working within ASB budgets, coordinating with event committees, providing COI (Certificate of Insurance) documents for venue approval, and setting up in challenging spaces like decorated gymnasiums. For prom specifically, we offer the Glam Booth — a portrait-quality experience with studio lighting that makes every student feel like a Hollywood star. For budget-conscious schools, our Drop-Off booth provides 6 hours of self-serve photo fun at just $500, making professional photo booth entertainment accessible to any school budget.

We also work with ASB advisors to create custom packages that fit within allocated event budgets. Call (747) 895-4473 to discuss your school's needs.
Is the photo booth supervised at school events?
Absolutely. Every attended rental includes a trained professional who supervises the booth for the entire event. They manage student flow, assist with props, troubleshoot the printer, and ensure everything runs safely and smoothly. The only unsupervised option is the Drop-Off booth, which is self-serve by design.
Can you set up in a gym or cafeteria?
Yes — we've set up in dozens of school gymnasiums, cafeterias, multipurpose rooms, and outdoor quads. Our equipment is fully portable and runs on a standard electrical outlet. We arrive 60-90 minutes early and set up around existing decorations without disrupting the event committee's work.
How does digital sharing work for students?
After each photo session, students can instantly text or email the digital photo to themselves — no app download required. They can share to Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, or any platform within seconds. The event coordinator also receives a complete digital gallery the same night.
