Cashman Photo

What Cashman Photo does

Cashman Photo Enterprises is a Las Vegas-headquartered photography and video services company founded in 1957 by teenage brothers Morgan and Harris Cashman, who began by photographing tourists on Miami Beach before establishing the Las Vegas operation in 1966 to coincide with the opening of Caesars Palace. The company operates twelve distinct service lines spanning weddings, corporate events and trade shows, conventions, school photography, commercial imaging, video production, attractions, amusements (thrill-ride and gondola photography), entertainment showroom photography, restaurant photography, photo booth rentals (including a proprietary platform-free Flying 360 Video Booth), and a public-facing Pro Photo Lab offering printing, restoration, framing, canvas, and sublimation on ceramic, acrylic, metal, and glass. It also sells 3D Crystal laser-etched keepsakes and operates a digital photo-fulfillment portal at digital.cashmanphoto.com.

The underlying technology stack centers on digital capture, automated camera systems for thrill rides (roller coasters, drop towers, observation wheels), live-streaming webcasting to social media, and laser imaging that etches 2D photographs below the surface of optical crystals with LED bases. The company holds exclusive or preferred photography concessions at iconic Las Vegas venues including Caesars Palace (since 1966), STRAT Tower, NYNY Casino roller coaster, Circus Circus Adventure Dome, Venetian Gondola, High Roller, Shark Reef Aquarium, and Fremont Street attractions, plus a broad base of wedding chapels and the Las Vegas Convention Center. It was approved as a supplier for Super Bowl LVIII Business Connect in 2023.

The business model is event-driven professional services with quote-based pricing; revenue is generated through per-event photography and video contracts, on-site venue concessions, walk-in retail (Pro Photo Lab, 3D Crystal), and digital photo fulfillment. Customer segments include Fortune 500 corporate clients, Las Vegas tourism venues, individual weddings, schools (Clark County School District), restaurants, and retail photo-lab customers. The company is privately held and family-founded, transitioning in 2021 when Karen Cashman retired and Robert Dolan became Owner and President; the firm is certified as both an LGBTQE-owned (NGLCC) and Disability-owned (Disability IN) business enterprise.
