Who we are.
At Ventura Vintage Photobooth, we believe in slowing down and making things that matter.
We’re not a rental company built around convenience — we’re a team of storytellers and craftspeople who care about how things are made and how they make people feel. Born as the sister brand to Jasper & Oak, we approach every photobooth and audio guestbook the same way we approach a wedding film: with intention, curiosity, and a respect for moments that can’t be recreated.
Our work is rooted in nostalgia — not in trend. We draw inspiration from vintage cameras, the grain of real wood, and the kind of memories you can hold in your hand. Every detail is designed to last, not just physically, but emotionally.
Whether it’s a print, a voice recording, or a candid moment caught between poses — we’re here to preserve joy in a way that feels tactile, timeless, and just a little bit magical.
Hand Crafted in WestVentura
Our photo booth isn’t something we bought online— it’s something we built by hand.
Born from a collaboration between Trent Stevens, the filmmaker behind Jasper & Oak, and Jeff Shulz of Jaws Woodshop, a master craftsman based in Ventura, this booth was thoughtfully designed from the ground up. The goal? To create something that didn’t just take great photos — but something that felt like it belonged at a beautiful wedding.
Trent brought the vision: a photobooth inspired by the classic lines of vintage film cameras, built with real materials, and designed to complement — not clash with — a well-curated event. Jeff brought it to life with woodworking precision, crafting each detail by hand in his Ventura shop. Together, they created a booth that’s both form and function: beautiful in a way that feels intentional, and reliable in the way only handcrafted pieces can be.
The result is more than a machine — it’s a statement piece. Wrapped in solid wood, full of character, and built with purpose.
Inside, it’s loaded with modern tech: instant prints, seamless digital sharing, and a high-end camera system. Outside, it’s timeless — and a perfect fit for vineyard weddings, backyard receptions, or elegant coastal celebrations.
Each rental includes a friendly on-site attendant, a backdrop tailored to your vibe, and a curated set of props that lean more stylish than silly.
It’s old-world craftsmanship with a modern heart — built in Ventura, made for moments that matter.
Fairly Priced, Honestly Built
Because we designed and built the booth ourselves — right here in Ventura — we’re able to offer a one-of-a-kind experience at a price that’s more accessible than many off-the-shelf competitors. There’s no inflated rental markup, no middlemen, and no cookie-cutter setup. Just quality materials, thoughtful design, and a handcrafted booth that brings real value to your event without stretching your budget.
