Market Problem
Overpriced, Overbooked Shoots
Traditional photographers charge premium rates and fill their calendars weeks in advance—overkill for customers who just need high-quality, affordable images.
Cookie-Cutter Photo-Booths
Most rental booths are plastic, visually clash with wood-accented Canadian venues, and still cost a premium.
My Solution
Self-Portrait Photography
A fully equipped, walk-in studio—no photographer required. Sessions start at CA$75, generating 300 + shoots in year 1.
Wooden Photo-booth
A wood-clad booth we engineered and built completely in-house—unlike competitors who buy expensive off-the-shelf units. This removes vendor mark-ups, maintenance contracts, and tool-rental fees, letting us match rustic wedding aesthetics and offer prices 30–40 % lower than typical photo-booth rentals.
