NYC Photo Booth Rentals with a Personal Touch by Ben Hawes
I’m Ben Hawes, a comedy performer, podcast host, and the person who’ll hype up your shyest employee at the company offsite or your flirtiest auntie at your birthday party. I’ve lived in New York City for 11 years, and in that time I’ve built a career around one thing: creating experiences that make people feel connected.
Rent My Booth is my photo booth company, and it’s designed for moments that feel good, look good, and stay with people long after the party ends. My background in customer service, employee engagement, and comedy taught me how to read a room, keep the energy up, and make every guest feel seen. That’s what makes this booth different—it’s not just equipment, it’s a hosted experience.
Since 2018, I’ve brought Rent My Booth to over 150 events across New York City and beyond, including rooftop weddings, corporate holiday parties, nonprofit galas, startup launches, conferences, and influencer activations. Clients like Travel + Leisure, Framebridge, and tech startups all over NYC have trusted me to deliver a booth that adds life to the room.
Here’s what you can expect when you book Rent My Booth:
Unlimited prints & instant digital sharing (so guests keep reliving the night)
Custom designs and overlays (tailored to your event, logo, or theme)
Curated props and stylish backdrops (seasonal, professional, or playful)
A hosted experience (I’m there the whole time, making sure the booth is buzzing)
Smooth tech and flawless lighting (whether you choose the iPad Booth or the Portrait Package with my mirrorless camera setup)
I show up early, stay to the end, and keep the energy high. I design the prints myself. I personally host the booth. I keep the tech running so you don’t have to worry about it. Guests leave with photos they actually love.

I’m Ben Hawes, the person behind Rent My Booth. For me, events are about more than music, food, or decorations, they’re about creating a moment where people feel connected.
I’ve lived in New York for over a decade, building a career that blends customer experience, employee engagement, and comedy. That mix taught me how to read a room, keep energy high, and make every guest feel seen.
Rent My Booth brings those skills to life. Whether it’s a corporate offsite, a wedding, or a holiday party, I design the prints, host the booth, and keep the laughs coming. The result isn’t just photos, it’s memories that feel good, look good, and last.
