Full pricing and inclusions
How much does a Portrait Station in Tampa Bay 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?

What should a planner send before requesting a quote?

Send the date, venue, guest count and approximate event schedule. If available, include the room plan, equipment access instructions and the venue coordinator's contact details.
