Professional lighting
Studio lighting shaped for skin tones and evening rooms — not the flat, even light of an enclosed booth.
Portrait Station · Central Alabama
Portraits your guestswill keep
Professional lighting, elegant posing and a beautiful backdrop. The Portrait Station gives your guests the ease of a photo booth with images that look like a portrait session.
Starting at $795
Not another photo booth
The Portrait Station is a photography experience. It stays simple for guests, but every part of it is built around how the final image will look.
Elegant posing
Guests are guided into a natural, flattering pose. Nobody is left wondering where to stand or what to do with their hands.
Magazine composition
Every frame is composed and sharply focused, so the result looks like a portrait session rather than a snapshot.
Two experiences, one night
The Portrait Station does not replace the photo booth. Many clients book both, so guests get the fun of one and the elegance of the other.
Photo Booth
Fast, playful and energetic. Props, fun and a print in hand — the part of the night everyone laughs about the next morning.

Calm, elegant and composed. Portraits guests are proud to keep, print and share — the kind that end up framed.

Questions we hear first
Read the full FAQWhat is the Portrait Station?
A premium portrait experience for your event. Professional lighting, guided posing and a beautiful backdrop produce elegant, magazine-quality portraits of your guests.
How is it different from a photo booth?
A photo booth captures fun and energy. The Portrait Station captures composed portraits guests keep and share. Many clients book both so their event offers two distinct experiences.
Do guests receive digital images?
Yes. Portraits are delivered digitally by QR code, so guests can access and download their images during or shortly after the event.
Are prints available?
Print availability depends on the package you select. We confirm exactly what is included in writing before you decide.
Can I pair it with a flower wall?
Yes. A Blush Rose or Traditional White with Greenery flower wall makes an ideal Portrait Station backdrop, and sequin or clean neutral backdrops are also available.
How many people fit in one portrait?
Portrait sessions are best kept to five or six people so everyone is comfortably visible and properly composed. Guests come through in small groups across the evening.
