Photo Booth Experiences for Galas in Washington, DC

Your Gala Deserves More Than a Photo Booth in the Corner.

Your gala has a purpose, a look, and a room full of people you’ve worked hard to bring together. Your photo booth should feel like it belongs there.

The Phototique creates photo booth and portrait experiences for galas, fundraisers, awards dinners, and formal events throughout Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

Not Every Gala Needs the Same Photo Booth

A black-tie awards dinner may call for beautiful, professionally lit portraits.

A fundraiser might benefit from something guests can participate in.

A sponsor may want an experience that creates engagement rather than simply displaying a logo.

And sometimes, you just want a really great photo booth that looks good in the room and gives guests a photograph they’ll love.

We start with your event, your guests, and what you want the experience to accomplish.

Then we recommend what makes sense.

GIVE GUESTS SOMETHING TO DO

360 Video

Bring a little movement to the room.

Guests step in together for a dynamic 360 video made for sharing. A great fit when you want to bring energy to the gala and capture the looks, movement, and personality of the night.

Scribbl’d

Give guests something to say.

Scribbl’d invites guests to write a message or respond to a custom prompt on glass while the interaction is captured on video. Build the prompt around your cause, celebration, theme, or sponsor to make guests part of the story.

AI Sketch

Turn their photo into art.

Guests step in for a photo and AI transforms their image into a custom illustrated sketch. From polished portraits to playful, event-inspired styles, the look can be designed around your gala, theme, or brand—giving guests a personalized piece of art to take home or share.

 
 
 

Turn the Photo Into Something Worth Keeping

Your guests don’t have to leave with another piece of generic event swag.

Their photograph can become the keepsake.

Depending on the experience, we can create:

Custom Magnets
Photo Keychains
Trading Cards
Flip’d Lenticular Photos
Premium Prints
Custom Photo Keepsakes

Each can be designed around your gala’s visual identity, theme, organization, or sponsor.

The result is something personal enough to keep—and branded enough to remember where it came from.

Give Sponsors More Than Logo Placement

If a sponsor is supporting the photo booth, their presence doesn’t have to begin and end with a logo on the backdrop.

We can integrate sponsor branding into the experience itself through custom creative, guest interactions, digital content, personalized keepsakes, or an experience designed specifically around the sponsorship.

The goal is simple:

Create something guests actually want to participate in.

The guest gets an experience.

The sponsor gets a meaningful presence within it.
