Portrait Station details for St. Petersburg weddings and events.

Full pricing and inclusions
How much does a Portrait Station in St. Petersburg cost?

The Portrait Station starts from $2,950. The final quote depends on coverage, guest count, venue and travel. Your proposal confirms the total and inclusions.

Is this a photo booth?

Portrait Station is a photographer-directed experience. A photographer shapes the light and guides each sitting. Our Photo Booth uses a different capture format; compare the actual outputs and booking details on the Experiences page.

Does this replace our wedding photographer?

No. This is a dedicated guest-portrait experience. Your wedding photographer covers the ceremony and the story of the day. Coordinate the station with your photographer and planner.

Is this page for St. Petersburg or St. Pete Beach?

This page focuses on St. Petersburg. If your venue is in St. Pete Beach or elsewhere in the Tampa Bay area, send its full name and address with your inquiry so we can check the location and availability.

Can the station fit into a venue with separate event rooms?

Share a floor plan and the guest route between rooms. We can discuss which space makes sense for portraits, then review the proposed position with the venue and your planner.

Can guests receive a printed portrait during the event?

Yes. On-site portrait printing is part of the Portrait Station experience. The service page explains how it works, and the pricing page covers booking information.
