the pictures were perfectly smooth and i loved how they turned out. they were a hit at my school dance

Raels picture video booths was a hit at our wedding! From all the props to the quality of the pictures/video and of course, Raels fun personality to get everyone to have fun in the booth! He is very professional when it came to planning and prepping for our event. Everything turned out the way we wanted. The pictures were printed right after we took them and our guests got to take them home. We also received a website containing all the pictures and videos so we could have a digital form to remember the night. Highly recommend Raels picture video booths for any event! read more

I highly recommend Rael's Picture Video Booth company. We recently booked the company for our baby shower/sprinkle. Our guests definitely enjoyed themselves and the green screen photobooth was one of the main reasons. The RM employees were incredibly friendly and social. Their positive attitude was very inviting. The setup was professional and easy to use. I love designing and customizing for our family events and Rael allowed me to do that with the layout of the photo card and backgrounds. In case you don't want to do all that, he has a large selection of designs for you to choose from. Great experience! I hope to book them again in the future or recommend them to anyone else. *Update We booked Rael's company again for our baby's first birthday this past weekend. It was another AWESOME experience. The guests enjoyed it and we appreciated Rael's professionalism and enthusiasm during the event. He definitely knows what he's doing. Once again, I highly recommend booking RM Event Services if you need a picture/video booth for you event. read more

See all

My husband and I got married a little over three months ago. During the wedding planning process, I really wanted to get a photo booth that could hold a lot of people and that included video messaging so that our guests could leave a message. I searched all over and the only place that had both of my criterion was Picture Video Booth. At first I was a little skeptical because the video messaging was going to just be 20 seconds and so I wasn't sure that was enough time for people to send us message and marriage advice, so I even thought of having another person do video recording and then a photobooth. But I'm glad I decided to work with Rael and chose only their photo booth. Seriously.. 15 secs is a good amount of time! My husband and I did a message and Rael had to tell us that we still had more time and to keep going! On that note, I am so grateful for Rael because if he hadn't pulled us prior to us entering our reception we never would've had time to take photobooth pictures and a video. He caught us and was like it will really only take a minute! And it was quick, no one noticed that we were not at the back of the line waiting to come in! I'm so so so thankful he insisted! Another thing is that with the package, we received a printed hard cover photo book of all the pictures and a cd with all the videos. On top of that we received an online link so we can download them straight to the computer! Also an unexpected thing was that he had so so many different props and although we got to choose different backgrounds.. he offered so many more to our guests on the day of. It was great seeing the pictures and seeing how much fun our guests had with the props and green screen backgrounds. Overall, we would highly highly recommend Picture Video Booth and Rael. Even though we didn't physically meet him beforehand, he was very professional and everything came together nicely. I didn't have to worry about anything. And honestly I didn't know that our package came with the photo book, so that was quite a wonderful surprise!! Thank you so much Rael for helping us create memories of our wedding that will last a lifetime!! Hire him for your event!!! You won't regret it!! read more

Rael Manlapas' photobooth was the best experience ever! I highly recommend it for an occasion. The set up was impressive--perfect lighting, good music and easy to use. The best part of the photobooth is Rael himself. He is energetic, positive and pleasant. With the assistance of his lovely wife, he facilitated the process. He assisted guest to choose their background and he ensured the were comfortably in the shot. Even though there was a countdown on the screen, he personally counted down to when pictures were taken and reminded them of subsequent photos. Pictures were available almost instantly. One of the best parts of the photobooth was the is an option to share photos instantly with social media or via email. Another cool feature of the photobooth is that it allowed you to record a video message. I was the best green screen photo booth ever!!! read more

We had Rael's video / photo booth for my daugthers Quinceñera, we all enjoyed and had an awesome time with the pictures and the video. Rael is very profesional and has a great personality, He was there before his start time to do his setup and puntual on the start time we agreed on. We are very pleased with his work, picture and video quality. I highly recommend Rael and definitely will use his services for our next event. read more

Loved our photobooth experience at the LA Travel Show in Long Beach, February 2015. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They had a mini line waiting to get their pictures taken but the staff was efficient and had the line moving really quickly. Our picture turned out absolutely perfect! I look flawless thanks! read more

Picture Video Booths - Our family vacation in Aspen lol - Photographers Near Me

Ran into RM at the San Francisco Travel Show which, like the 49ers, was actually in Santa Clara. They were with the Sunset magazine booth and a perfect add-on to Sunset's "get outdoors" vibe. The offered photos with various backgrounds (beach, mountains, etc) or a short video! We opted for the photo since we're not creative enough to think up a short video on the spot. The people managing the booth were very nice and professional and did a good job managing the line which was no small feat in the chaotic convention. At the booth, they had a bunch of props in cubicles which was a nice touch. Most photo booths just have their props scattered on table. This made looking for "just the right one" super easy. Grabbed our props of a penguin hat and a rubber chicken, got on our mark, looked into the camera, and they snapped the pic. Waited a minute or so and had our 2 prints. They also had PCs where you could email yourself the pic. Just enter your email, no other personal info required which was nice. No muss, no fuss, just a cool photo!! Great experience. read more

We hired Rael because his portfolio and his work consisted variety with backgrounds, personalization, video messages, and a printable photo for everyone to keep. We had a fun and wonderful experience and it was a nice touch for the wedding. Everyone took pictures and had a great time doing it! They also have a la carte services on their website if you want to order more. We had a wonderful time and will be hiring him in the near future. Highly recommended 5/5. read more

Huge thank you to Rael at Picture Video Booths for our wedding! Rael is so professional and great at what he does.

We worked with Rael at Picture Video Booths for the 2nd time for our school's auction event and I would 100% recommend them! Rael and his team were on time, set up quickly, and were professional all night. Before the event, working with Rael was very easy as we picked 6 background images from his gallery and he helped provide more customized ones as well. He also helped us adjust our logo for the printed photo designs. At the event, he had great energy with our guests and kept everyone having fun! I will definitely use him again for our next event :) read more

Not much to say that hasn't been said by other satisfied customers. I'll keep this short: On-time, professional, tons of fun, great prop selection, fast turn-around time on the online gallery and physical copies, and all-around wonderful customer service. If you've got a big event and you want some fun picture memories, I highly recommend Rael and his photo/video booth. read more

So Awesome!!! Really had fun !!! Photographer and staff were cool. It was this photo booth at my friend's daughter's debutante ball. I had photo booth shots with my son and another one with my old College friends (fun times) =)..there must be 30 of us and we still fit hahahah...anyway..Photo booth is really cool to have in any party! read more

Solid for ANY type of photography needs. We have used RMP on a variety of occassions and have been 100% satisfied everytime. If you want a professional photographer who is very honest, detail oriented, ON TIME, and full of integrity look no further. ENGAGEMENT Started here. We were referred by a friend, checked out some of his work, including some amazing panoramic and nature shots, and decided to give RMP a shot. I am SO glad we went with Rael. WEDDING My wife and I liked his work so much we brought him along for our Caribbean wedding cruise! and everything turned out awesome, better than we ever thought. We took picture in all kinds of environments and conditions, Low Light, too much light, indoor, outdoor, in the water, on a boat, you name it- he nailed it. I believe he used one of our pictures in his promotions - can you guess!?! RECEPTION We also had him be our photographer for our reception back in California. Los Gatos, low light conditions, out doors in a courtyard while the Sun was setting and eventually evening photos. All great stuff. MATERNITY Well, what do you expect after getting married!?! Yes, same quality, same fun atmosphere, and of course we were happy. PHOTO BOOTH and then again for our first babys shower/ Superbowl Party! We had a Booth set up during the SB and PArty- gave everyone another fun memory. The backgrounds and props were all very fun. The set up did not require a lot of space as Rael is very good at maximizing efficiency and keeping the area perfect and tidy. The tech set up was very impressive as well. A nice big screen to look at and the printing is done QUICK. Needless to saem EVERYONE loved it. as you can tell, we are extremely satisfied REPEAT customers! read more

Rael is awesome. I've booked him for family photos, maternity & baby photos and I've booked his photobooth several times for Corporate events. Several of my companies subsequently have booked him as well! I've already confirmed him for my high school's 20th reunion. Photography: Rael pays attention to details and makes people feel at ease. He takes his time to get the best shots. I've referred him to several friends for weddings and maternity shots. He can bring the studio to you, but my fav is when he takes pics on location/outdoors. Photobooth: Rael has the best photobooth set-up around; giant green-screen, several monitors, choice backgrounds, and the best props (and they are new, whimsical and ORGANIZED (not old boas and broken sunglasses thrown into an old tupperware; his stuff is legit). We booked the photobooth for my firm's recent holiday party and it ended up being the main attraction! Something about executives in wigs wearing pimp hats & playing air guitars draws a crowd! Also, if you ask, Rael will enthusiastically jump right into a photo with you! He's always game and gest into character with whatever prop he's wearing! LoL. The photos print immediately; so much fun watching folks get silly for the cameras and more fun to see them react to their photos. Always a hit! Overall, everyone I've referred him to has been happy with his work and professionalism. Most have come back to thank me for referring Rael and telling me how cool/friendly he is and that in addition to loving their photos, they've made a lifelong friend in Rael :). read more

Engagement Shoot Rael and his team are extremely skilled and fun to work with. We are so glad we chose him to be our wedding photographer. Before the wedding we had our engagement shoot which took place at a couple locations around San Francisco. It was such a fun experience. Rael and his team were so professional and attentive to our needs during the photo session. During the end of the shoot the weather was getting pretty uncomfortable but Rael did a great job helping us get the sunset shots that we wanted. The photos ended up looking incredible. The package we got included two large prints that we displayed during our wedding. Many of our guests mentioned to us how great those prints looked. Rael also created a well-edited slide show that we showcased during our reception. Wedding Day Rael did a great job using our venue to get the best shots possible throughout the wedding. We had a lot of guests, so room for photographer to shoot photos was an issue during the ceremony. He was still able to get great shots throughout our entire ceremony. I've heard of horror stories where the photographer and videographers "fight" for the best angles during the wedding. Rael's team worked seamlessly worked with our videography team throughout the entire wedding. The post ceremony photos were extremely fun to do. Rael did awesome at getting great shots and getting us back to our guests in a timely manner. Post Wedding Rael did a great job communicating with us after the wedding. Our wedding photos were edited in a timely manner, and everything we ordered (photo albums, other large prints) came in a timely manner as well. I can attest that the photo albums and large prints are extremely well made. We even ordered a picture that was printed on sheet metal. It's a really unique piece that looks great on the wall. In the end, my wife and I are extremely happy we chose Rael to capture our special day. I highly recommend him and his team. read more

Rael and his team are the BEST of the BEST. He has an excellent eye, with a gift like no other. My (now) husband and I hired him as our photographer for our big day and we could've have asked for a more PERFECT & professional photographer. One big request I made was....that I didn't want to see my husband before the ceremony and boy was it a challenge BUT Rael totally made it work and it meant so much to us! When I first met with Rael, there was a style/look we wanted....when we took a look at our sneak peeks, he did what we asked for and some. I would definitely recommend him and his team for all important events you would like to remember forever. They will not disappoint! P.S. His wife is a GEM :) read more

Rael photographed our sons baptism. He captured every aspect we asked for plus more Even with the deacon showing up late, to a small group of guests and a small reception venue, the pictures came out great. He is so easy and fun to work with and will definitely use him in the future! Thanks for everything Rael! read more

The Photobooth was a big hit at our junior high schools event. Set up was quick and seamless and the adults enjoyed it as much as the kids. There were so many backdrops and props to choose from that the picture combinations were endless. We most liked the ability to get both multiple prints for the groups and electronic versions through email or link. Thank you Rael for making the event a hit! read more

I highly recommend hiring Rael's Picture Video Booth company! Him and his wife were amazing! We celebrated a 40th birthday party in the backyard of our house and we were so nervous how the pictures would turn out with the lighting outside but they came out great! They were very professional and great to interact with. All the guests were happy as they were each able to get a print out of the pictures they were in! This is my 2nd time hiring Rael and his company and I would do it again! Already thinking about our next family event that we could hire them for! Thank you so much Rael! You and your wife were awesome! read more

AMAZING PRODUCT AND SERVICE! I do corporate event planning and marketing for huge events like trade shows so I am in constant contact with hundreds of vendors. Very few people I deal with standout to me based on their professionalism and customer service. I contacted Rael regarding an inquire about his photo-booth services and he was a pleasure to talk with and extremely understanding and accommodating. After discussing options with several different vendors and doing thorough research on almost every photo-booth rental company in the bay area, what he offers in terms of quality products and services exceeded all of my expectations. With the growing importance of social media and web presence for any company, the products offered has the ability to be customized to create a valuable marketing tool. In addition to his products, I usually dread talking with vendors because its an on-going negotiation conversation. I did not feel that way when speaking with Rael. He was straight to the point, had a quick video that displayed their rental products, and the photo booth was amazing so he did not have to "convince" me to choose their company. I would highly recommend utilizing this company for your event rental needs. I almost wish I was getting married so I can use his services again. Thank you so much! read more

A couple months ago we had Rael's Picture Video Booth at our wedding and they were absolutely awesome. They use a green screen background which made for such creative and fun experience. They also had a great selection of props that were easily accessible. The props were hung on clear hanging shoe shelves which is much more convenient than having them plopped on a table. The guys working the booth were also great and the final product looked amazing. Two days after the wedding we were sent a link via email to view all the photos! Our package we chose also came with a 12x12 photobook which also turned our great. read more

We hired Rael for our wedding on 8/22/15. Throughout the process he was professional, and helpful, and offered great pricing for his services. Behind the scenes he was flexible with splitting his hours to accommodate our reception program, as well as allowing us a custom design with our names on the photo paper. The best part is that not only is Rael a real pro, he's also very fun, which really got our guests to open up and be fun in their photos and videos. Finally, he went above and beyond by making sure my wife had something to eat in the staging room while we were away from the main dinner. Happy wife, happy life indeed. Thank you Rael. What really drew us to picture video booths was that they use a green screen, so we could pick a variety of backgrounds for guests to enjoy. We highly recommend the TRex background, because who doesn't like to pretend they're being chased by the most ferocious predator the world has ever known? With a multitude of backgrounds like these, and a wide array of fun props, it's no wonder many of our guests pulled us aside to say it was the best photo booth they'd ever seen at a wedding. What also sets Rael's picture/video booths apart from the rest of the played out boring booths is the video function. Our guests were able to record messages to us after taking their photos. So far we've watched the all the messages 3 times, and every time it makes us so happy to relive the memories in such a vivid and interactive way. We'd recommend Rael and Picture Video Booths to all our friends without hesitation, and will definitely consider him for any future parties we have. read more

Rael was very professional, responsive and helpful! He went above and beyond by coming out to our somewhat "outside the box" party venue a few weeks in advance to make sure his set up would work. Green screen was great fun! read more

Rael is the best! He is very easy to work with. He is very friendly and put my mind at ease on my wedding day. I was so nervous on my big day and Rael helped me relax my nerves and also helped me get hyped up when needed. I have nothing but a positive experience with him. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a photographer. If my husband and I decide to have a maternity shoot, we will definitely hire Rael. His photobooth is the best! His props get everyone of all ages involved. The photobooth was definitely the highlight at my reception. You can't go wrong with hiring Rael! read more

We just had Rael's green screen photo booth at our daughter's Bat Mitzvah and it was a really big hit. There's a big variety of background options, wonderful personalized graphic photo frame designs, great picture quality, and tons of fun props. Our guests used the booth for 4 hours and many of them raved about it. The 4x6 prints are way better than the little strips that many photo booths offer. Thanks, Rael!!! read more

Called PictureVideoBooths because I wanted to organize a photo booth experience for my cousins wedding. Rael was able to squeeze me in that same week on very short notice, and the details were very easy to iron out. They arrived promptly and were able to set up at our location of choice, and everyone loved their photo booth! I kept getting compliments on what a great wedding gift it was. Also, the 20 second message for each picture group was a really nice touch for the bride and groom. Thanks Rael! read more

Thank you Rael for being part of our wedding. Many guests really enjoyed the booth. We appreciate your service and will be hiring your crew for future events. read more

If there were more stars, we'd give it. Rael's booths are the best! He has the best props, backgrounds, services, etc. He gets everyone involved to speak and take pictures. Rael has done every single one of our 1st birthdays for our kids and will continue to use him for future birthdays, as well. There is no other, better than his! What are you waiting for? Book him! read more

Always an amazing time!This is the second time I have used this service and the level of quality and customer service is always the best! My guest really enjoyed this as well. I am trying to find another excuse to have a party so I can book them again! read more

Picture Video Booths - Photographers Near Me

Picture Video Booth was awesome to have at ScuttleBugs CDC's 5th year anniversary party! Rael and his team are amazing to work with. He provided clear instructions and let us know what to expect prior to the event. All of our families enjoyed taking silly/fun/beautiful pictures. We loved that everyone received hard copies as well as soft copies of their photos. He also played "kid appropriate" music and politely encouraged our families to take photos throughout the entire time. We will definitely be using Picture Video Booths services for future ScuttleBugs CDC events to come! read more

I choose Rael based on experience from a wedding I attended 5+ years ago which was actually my first photo booth experience. At that time, his service, offerings and enthusiasm was truly impressive! In the five years since, I've had many more experiences with photo booths and none of them has lived up to what Rael provided. So, when it was time to get a photo booth for my daughter's cotillion (event was this past Saturday 6/9/18), I knew exactly who to call. Rael, thank you so much for the energy and service you provided at my daughter's cotillion!!! With 250+ guests and 600+ pictures taken at the booth. it was obvious that your line of expertise is very popular! I got nothing but compliments from my guests!! "Wow, he's good!" "He's so efficient. We didn't wait around at all." "OMG, there are so many people but his props are always in place and not a mess. If one falls, he's there to pick it up and put it back." My niece's friend even told me how you discreetly told my 72 year old Filipino Uncle, "Uncle, use this prop instead" and switched his prop from "Cougar" to "I came for the beer." LOL THANK YOU FOR CONTRIBUTING TO ALL THE FUN! read more

Rael and his team was contracted out for my brother's wedding. Their photo/video booth was one of a kind. They added a lot of fun to the event. read more

Best Photo Booth ever! What more can I say? My husband and I hired Rael to do the photo booth for our wedding this year. We were so impressed with the custom green screen backdrops, fun props, and energetic music to set the mood! He even featured a 30 second video clip for guests to send us warm wishes or just dance for the camera. All of our guests kept saying "Best photo booth ever!" We had a tight space to work with but Rael and his wife were great in directing the guests and kept them going back for more pics. I definitely recommend RM Photo Booth for a fun, lively activity for your guests at any party! I hope to use them again soon! read more

It is so wonderful to find a service that consistently lives up to its reviews! PictureVideoBooths by Rael Manlapas is awesome! Rael was extremely easy to work with, very professional, flexible, showed up on time and was very helpful to my guests. His props are great and the green screen worked out well. We ended up booking Rael last minute and he was not only able to accomodate us but was able to work with our limitations as well. We received the link to all the photos immediately following the event and a CD in the mail the following week. I couldn't have asked for more and I would most definitely hire him again! read more

We hired Rael and his crew for our company event this past week and they were amazing!! Very professional, upbeat, and friendly! We will cherish our 20 year anniversary photo booth pictures for many years to come. Headway Technologies, Inc. definitely recommends Rael Photography for all your photo needs. Thanks again! read more

My husband and I highly recommend Rael for photography services. We hired him for our engagement and wedding photos in 2012. What I love about him the most is that he takes the time to get to know you so that he can provide you with the best service possible. His pricing is competitive and he will always go above and beyond what was paid for. We also had a photo booth at the wedding, not only did our guests love it but the screen shots were perfect. He is professional, warm, friendly and caring and you will not be disappointed. read more

Rael is my go-to guy when it comes to photography. I appreciate his eye to understand how to convey personalities so that they jump off a photo. Strongly recommend him for green screen photo booths. I have done a lot of corporate events during my corporate gigs at Google and Cisco, and have not found anything this creative or fun. A good way to give people a memory or keepsake. read more

I've worked as an event photographer and videographer, so I'm no stranger to photography. When it came time to be on the other side of the lens and I needed to pick a photographer I trusted for my own wedding, I picked Rael Manlapas. I was thrilled with the results. Being a good event photographer takes a lot of things, Rael has them all. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again, or recommend him to friends and family for all their most important photography needs. Rael's experience shows both in the technical skill and artistry his work displays. I was absolutely thrilled with some of the shots he took. His work exceeded my expectations, and I have high expectations of photographers. His personality and candor made him fit in with the group as though he were family. This is important because he encouraged people to be more relaxed and naturally photogenic, as opposed to looking posed and staged. His organizational skills also helped because events can get chaotic, and he helped get people where they need to be, without being bossy. Rael gave personal attention before, during, and event after the event. Months later I called him and he didn't hesitate to help locate a particular photo he took and get it printed beautifully. He also turned around a large framed print for me in such short notice it made me wonder what kind of connections this guy must have. Bottom line, if you are looking for a photographer for event photography, portraits, or any other photographic needs, you can end your search here and be comfortable you made the right decision. If you don't believe me, try him and see for yourself, you won't reget it. read more
