Our Story: How Off the Reel Started in Vancouver
Off the Reel began with a simple idea: make photo booths more than props, they’re storytelling machines. Founded right here in Vancouver, we launched amid the city’s craft beer boom and festival culture, spotting a gap for booths that felt local, not cookie-cutter.
From backyard barbecues in East Van to high-end galas at the Vancouver Convention Centre, we’ve evolved with the city. What started as one mirrorless booth grew into a fleet serving weddings, corporate gigs, and milestones. Our confidence comes from thousands of happy clients who’ve shared their prints worldwide.
Vancouver’s rainy charm inspired our weatherproof designs, while the diverse crowd, from tech innovators in Mount Pleasant to families in South Granville shaped our inclusive vibes. Today, Off the Reel stands for quality, creativity, and that feel-good energy unique to our coastal home.
What Makes Off the Reel Photo Booths Stand Out
Not all photo booths are created equal. Ours blend cutting-edge tech with Vancouver flair, ensuring every event feels custom. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Open-Air Elegance: Ditch the cramped boxes. Our spacious open-air setups let groups pile in for epic group shots, perfect for Vancouver’s social butterflies.
- Mirror Magic: Step into our interactive mirrors, they greet guests, pose them with fun animations, and print instantly. Guests love the wow factor.
- 360-Degree Spins: Capture slow-mo videos on our 360 booths. Couples twirl, friends spin, ideal for Instagram-worthy Reels from your Granville Island party.
- Custom Branding: Every booth matches your theme. Think floral frames for weddings or logo overlays for corporate events at UBC.
These features make our photo booths unique by focusing on guest experience over gimmicks. We confidently say: no other Vancouver service combines this tech with seamless delivery.

Behind-the-Scenes: Tech That Powers Our Photo Booths
Great booths start with smart tech. We use pro-grade DSLRs or mirrorless cameras for crystal-clear shots, even in dim festival lighting. LED rings banish shadows, and our software auto-enhances colors to pop against Vancouver’s moody skies.
Printing? Dye-sub tech delivers smudge-proof 2×6 strips in 10 seconds. For digital lovers, cloud sharing means albums ready before the cake’s cut. Sustainability matters too, our booths run on efficient power, and we recycle props.
What makes our photo booths Vancouver unique? Custom software lets us tweak animations live. Want a Canucks-themed overlay for game night? Done. This flexibility turns standard rentals into event stars.

Vancouver’s event scene pulses with fresh ideas, and our booths keep pace:
- Social Media Integration: Guests share via booth Wi-Fi, hashtags auto-post to your feed.
- Interactive Walls: Post-event kiosks let guests browse and print favorites.
- Eco-Friendly Focus: Biodegradable props and paper align with our green city ethos.
