Terms and Conditions

Last updated: October 12, 2026

These terms apply when you use this website or book a photo booth with Optical Luminary Photo Booth. By using the site or sending a booking request, you agree to them. If we agree on a booking, we will send a written booking confirmation. If it says something different from this page, the confirmation applies.

Our service

We provide a digital photo booth for events in San Diego County, California. It includes a camera setup, soft lighting, a backdrop, unlimited digital photos during your booked time, instant sharing by text or AirDrop, and an online gallery. Photos are digital only. We do not provide prints. What each package includes is listed in the packages section of our home page.

Booking requests and your date

• Sending the booking form is a request, not a booking. We reply with availability and a quote.
• Your date is held only after we receive the signed booking confirmation (or other written confirmation from us) and the deposit of $100.
• The remaining balance is due 7 days before your event.

Prices

• 2 hours: $380. 3 hours: $450. Each extra hour: $75.
• Travel is included anywhere in San Diego County. For events outside San Diego County we will give you a price before you book.
• Prices are in US dollars. The price in your quote is the total you pay.

Your event

To run the booth we need:

• a flat space of about 10 by 10 feet;
• 1 power outlet within 15 feet; and
• access to the venue about 60 minutes before your start time. Setup time is not part of your package hours.

Please tell us about stairs, parking, loading rules and any other venue requirements before the event. If your venue needs proof of insurance, tell us when you book and we will provide it.

The event host is responsible for telling guests that photos are being taken. We may pause or stop the booth if it is unsafe, if guests misuse the equipment, or if the venue asks us to. The host is responsible for damage to our equipment caused by guests, other than normal wear.

Sending photos to guests

• Guests type in their own phone number at the booth to get their photos by text. Please remind guests to check the number before they send it.
• We are not responsible if a number is entered wrongly and the photos do not reach the guest. We are also not responsible if a phone setting, carrier or network problem stops a text or AirDrop from arriving.
• Every photo is also saved in the online gallery we send you after the event, so a guest whose photo did not arrive can still get it there.

Photos and who owns them

• We own the copyright in the photos. You and your guests may use them for personal, non-commercial purposes, including sharing them on social media.
• We will not use photos from your event on our website, social media or other marketing without your written permission. We never post photos of a minor without written permission from a parent or guardian.
• We send the online gallery link within 7 days after the event. The gallery stays online for 90 days. Please download your photos before it closes.

Cancellations, changes and refunds

Our Cancellation and Refund Policy is part of these terms.
