Speakeasy Mugshot Photos

More Than an Ordinary Photo Booth

This is a complete interactive photo experience.

Guests do not simply stand in front of a camera and press a button. They choose costumes, create characters, pose with friends and become part of the entertainment.

Our professional team helps guests select props, arranges groups and guides each portrait session. This keeps the experience moving while producing photographs that look intentional rather than rushed.

The setup also becomes a visible attraction at your event. Guests enjoy watching their friends transform into cowboys, flappers, gangsters and wanted criminals before joining the fun themselves.

A man in cowboy attire holds a map on a dusty street in a Western town, with wooden buildings and a rider on horseback in the background under a bright sky.

A wanted poster on wood shows a man in a cowboy hat holding a revolver. Text reads, “WANTED – DEAD OR ALIVE. REWARD $5000.” The paper looks old and torn around the edges.

Perfect for Groups

Old Time Photos become even more entertaining when guests participate together.

Couples, families, coworkers and groups of friends can create complete scenes instead of taking standard individual portraits. Guests can become a Wild West posse, a glamorous 1920s party, a notorious gang or an entire group of wanted criminals.

The changing costumes and characters encourage guests to return throughout the event and create entirely different photographs.
