Lucky Booth

What Lucky Booth does

Lucky Booth is a Vancouver, British Columbia-based photo and video booth rental company that provides experiential activation services for both consumer events (weddings, social gatherings, festivals) and enterprise brand campaigns. Founded in 2011 as Lucky Studios by working photographers, the company has expanded into a multi-format booth operator offering Open Air, Mirror, 360 Video, MultiCam Bullet Time, Enclosed, Digital, Hybrid, High Angle, and Glam Robot Arm configurations. The service portfolio also includes custom-built activations such as the DrawBot, an AI-powered drawing robot arm, and Custom Trading Cards that use AI background removal and generative avatars. During the 2020-2022 COVID period the company added livestreaming services as a defensive pivot when in-person events were restricted.

The business operates a capital-light, project-based revenue model, charging per-event fees ranging from approximately $600 (CAD) for a 2-hour DSLR Digital Booth to $2,500+ for a Portrait Studio package, with 360 Video Booths starting at $1,800 and custom brand activations priced on quotation. The company maintains in-house manufacturing through 3D printing, vinyl cutting, and custom prop/backdrop fabrication, enabling hardware customisation that commodity booth rental competitors typically cannot match. Pricing is pay-as-you-go with no subscription or recurring revenue component.

Lucky Booth is a privately held, bootstrapped company with a core staff of approximately 6 employees, supplemented by a network of working photographers and videographers that can scale the team to roughly 20 for large-scale events. Named brand clients include Red Bull, TED Talks, Puma, Lululemon, Armani, Monster Energy, Omega Watches, Cirque Du Soleil, Science World, Shaw, Telus, and Wealthsimple. Geographic operations appear concentrated in the Vancouver metropolitan area, with no disclosed multi-market expansion.
