About Us
Hi, I'm Steven Murphy, and I founded Murphy's Photo Booth to bring a new level of quality and engagement to your event. While many people see a photo booth as just a fun sideline, I see it as a chance to apply over two decades of technical photography and event leadership experience.
The Foundation: Photography Since 2000
My journey in photography began in 2000, with event experience following closely behind in 2001. I didn't start with digital; I was trained in the classic art of film—learning the meticulous process of dip-and-dunk chemical processing of my own film and negatives. This deep understanding of light, contrast, and chemistry is why I insist on excellent lighting and producing sharp, high-quality photos for every single booth strip we print.
The Event Leader: More Than Just a Photographer
For 13 summers, I gained invaluable event and people-management experience working at a scout camp, taking on roles from the maintenance department all the way up to Program Director. This experience taught me how to run a smooth operation, manage large groups of people, and—most importantly—how to create engaging, memorable, and interactive experiences for every participant.
Our Start
The Photo Booth Origin
I initially started running fun, hands-on photo experiences as a volunteer for my youth group. Seeing the energy, laughter, and lasting memories these moments created inspired me to launch Murphy's Photo Booth. My goal is simple: to bring that dynamic, interactive energy to your event, supported by a professional photo staff and equipment that delivers on image quality.
When you hire Murphy's Photo Booth, you're not just renting equipment; you're hiring an expert who knows how to capture the perfect moment and manage the perfect experience.
Let's make your event great.
We like to bring excellence and fun to all the events that we are a part of
