SOCIAL GLAM BOOTH · NYC + NJ
A photo booth,
built by photographers.
We started with one conviction: every guest deserves a portrait worth keeping, not another disposable party picture.
OUR STORY
The booth was never
the interesting part.
Social Glam Booth was founded by husband-and-wife photographers Julian and Evgenia Ribinik. After years of photographing weddings and events, they saw the same problem repeatedly: guests loved the booth, but the photographs rarely matched the beauty of the event around it.
So they rebuilt the experience around the portrait. Better light. Thoughtful direction. Custom design. A team that understands the room. The result still feels spontaneous and fun, but the photographs look intentional.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Your guests will not just remember the booth.
They will remember the portrait.
THE STUDIO BEHIND THE BOOTH
Professional eyes.
Playful energy.
Julian and Evgenia built Social Glam Booth from the same foundation as their photography studio: flattering light, honest expressions, strong composition, and care for how people feel in front of a camera.
The work behind the booth comes from a studio recognized by The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and Brides. That experience shapes every setup, from a four-person black-and-white portrait to a fully produced brand activation.

THE SOCIAL GLAM STANDARD
What photographers notice.
Technology changes. The fundamentals of a beautiful portrait do not.
Direction without stiffness
Guests receive just enough guidance to look good while the experience stays quick, social, and natural.
Design that belongs
Backdrop, screens, prints, frames, and digital delivery are developed around the event instead of pulled from a generic menu.
Production that behaves
Clear communication, venue coordination, trained staff, backup equipment, guest flow, and a clean strike come with the creative.
ONE POINT OF VIEW. MANY FORMATS.
Built for the people
in the room.
Weddings, mitzvahs, company events, editorial portrait rooms, and campaign activations each ask for something different.
