[ 01 ] Why Stella Booth

Not another booth in the corner. A part of the event.

01

Photographer-grade quality

Real camera and lighting, not a flat ring-light kit. Your prints look editorial, not like everyone else's booth.

02

Custom prints, designed in-house

Your names, date, or logo on every strip. Designed to match your event, included with the Stella package.

03

The founder runs your event

No random subcontractor. The person who designed your prints is the one at your event keeping the line moving.

04

Shared instantly, no app

Every photo is yours in the moment. Guests share by email, text, AirDrop, or QR code the second they step out, included free on every package.

About Stella Booth

A photographer's
booth, run by the
founder.

Stella Booth is run by Nathan Tran, a Bay Area photographer and designer. After years behind the camera, the booth was a natural next step: the same eye for light and the same care for how a final print looks, brought to the most fun part of an event.

Behind the booth

What makes it different.

Editorial image quality

Proper camera and lighting instead of a flat ring-light kit, so the prints look like photography, not a novelty.

Designed in-house

Custom strip templates and branded overlays designed by hand to match your event, never an off-the-shelf template.

The founder is there

For couples and planners who hate a random subcontracted attendant: the person who designed your prints runs the booth.

Fast, branded delivery

A frictionless booking flow and often a same-day online gallery, so every guest gets their photos quickly.

Unlimited prints all night

Every guest walks away with a strip in hand, no rationing and no waiting, so the keepsake is part of the party instead of an upsell.

Props that fit the room

A curated, on-theme prop styling rather than a bin of plastic junk, so the photos look like they belong at your event.

Where we work

Based in San Jose and serving the greater Bay Area: Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Milpitas, Fremont, Campbell, Cupertino, Saratoga, and Los Gatos. Travel beyond 25 miles is quoted simply.

From intimate to 400+

From a small backyard party to a 400-plus guest gala, the experience is tailored to your event, with a throughput plan and a second attendant for big crowds.

Venue-ready

We bring all the equipment the booth needs, from camera and lighting to backdrop, props, and printer. Early setup and a tidy footprint, so coordinators love us too.

Let's make yours the one people talk about.
