In a city known for pushing creative boundaries, photo booths in Los Angeles have evolved into fully immersive experiences that do more than just capture a smile. At Hive Photo Booths, we’re seeing a major shift: brands, event planners, and couples are seeking photo moments that entertain, tell a story, and elevate the entire guest experience.
Here’s a look at the top photo booth trends redefining LA’s event scene in 2025—whether you’re planning a red carpet gala, product launch, or ultra-stylish wedding.
1. AI-Enhanced Photo Booths
AI is changing the face of event photography—literally. Our new AI booths offer real-time enhancements, virtual makeup, surreal effects, and even animated transformations that feel straight out of the future. It’s a hit at brand activations and forward-thinking corporate events.
2. 360° Video Booths
Still a crowd favorite, 360 booths capture slow-motion video from every angle. Think dramatic twirls, confetti blasts, and shareable red carpet content—all in one spin. Perfect for influencer events and fashion-forward activations.
3. Hollywood Glam Portraits
The glam booth is here to stay. Our take? Smooth black-and-white edits, DSLR precision, and studio lighting that rivals celebrity photoshoots. A go-to for weddings, galas, and VIP receptions.
4. Branded Content That Clicks
Booths have become live content studios. We’re seeing huge demand for branded overlays, QR code integration, microsites, and real-time uploads that let every photo double as marketing gold.
5. Green Screen Experiences That Transport
Want to drop your guests on a beach in Bali or inside your brand’s digital world? Green screen setups are now smarter, sharper, and fully customizable—ideal for experiential marketing and trade shows.
6. Studio-Level Setups
High-quality portraits are trending—especially with backdrops and lighting setups worthy of a Vogue editorial. Our DSLR booths deliver crisp, flattering images with an editorial edge.
7. Custom Microsites & Real-Time Sharing
Guests want instant gratification. Custom microsites with branded galleries, SMS delivery, and direct uploads give guests a way to relive and share the moment instantly—perfect for extending the event’s reach beyond the venue.
8. Sustainable, Paperless Booths
Digital-only experiences are on the rise, especially with sustainability-minded clients. From GIFs to Boomerangs, guests walk away with dynamic content—minus the paper trail.
9. Hybrid Photo + Event Photography
Why choose one? Many clients now opt for full coverage—booths and roaming photographers. Our hybrid packages ensure cohesive branding across stills, video, and digital content.
10. Interactive Video FX Booths
From AR effects to slo-mo sparkle showers, our Video FX Booths add a cinematic twist to any event. Expect high production value, high engagement, and seriously fun guest reactions.
