Some photo booths simply print pictures, but working alongside Paper Moon Shoppe for the first time showed me they can create genuine magic.
Their vintage backdrop creates the dre...
amiest, most romantic atmosphere. It's not just a photo booth; it stands out as an interactive piece of art that invites everyone to celebrate the newlyweds.
Beyond the stunning backdrop, their team was an absolute delight to collaborate with behind the scenes. They were so thoughtful, respectful of the space and brought a lovely energy to the entire evening.
They are such a unique, special addition to any wedding, and I'd be happy to recommend them to any couple.
This booth made our night. Our guests took more pictures in the booth than they did of our actual wedding. As they should! Staff was patient and kind and photo delivery was quick. ...
Couldn’t have had a better experience.
Paper Moon Shoppe is an absolute gem!!
For our whimsical, Old Hollywood-themed wedding, we encouraged guests to dress loud and fabulous, and I knew the photo booth had to feel like...
a film set from the Golden Age of cinema.
Paper Moon Shoppe delivered beyond my wildest dreams!
They offered a selection of beautifully designed sets that perfectly captured the vintage aesthetic we envisioned. I was able to build a custom package (including fun optional upgrades like the stage curtain reveal, which added a dramatic, theatrical moment during cocktail hour!). From there, their team handled everything: capturing photos, helping guests feel relaxed and glamorous, printing keepsake copies on the spot, and providing a fantastic range of props for our guests to really ham it up.
The photos came out bursting with personality, and everyone loved taking home their prints. (Psst—this doubled as the best party favor ever!)
If you're looking for an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience that will truly delight your guests, I wholeheartedly recommend Paper Moon Shoppe!
Wedding decor adds up fast so my wife and I were hesitant about spending money on too many decor options, but we are so thankful we trusted our wedding planner, Holly Gray, who rec...
ommended Paper Moon Shoppe to transform the feature wall of our wedding reception. They took a boring, blank wall and turned it into the perfectly magical backdrop for our sweetheart table that our guests could not stop talking about. Our wedding had a celestial theme so they found a creative way to cover the wall in a shimmering black fabric that reflected the lighting in the room like stars. To creatively incorporate color and not make the room feel too dark from the black wall, they added 3D star lights in our wedding colors. The main feature to highlight our sweetheart table was a beautiful wall-sized crescent moon with a custom shooting star behind it in our wedding colors that also had a neon sign with our names on it. It blew us away when we saw it in person, and the shooting star with the neon sign is now an amazing keepsake from the day. They made all of that happen seamlessly - if you want thoughtful, great quality, creative decor at your event, go with Paper Moon Shoppe!
Victoria and Chris helped create more than a moment at our wedding, they created a fun and interactive talking point. It’s space travel but without the whole traveling astronaut th...
ing. As a film lover (particularly A Trip to the Moon, anything with Hedy Lamar, Dick Van Dyke, or vintage nostalgia) I can’t tell you how fast I jumped at the chance to hire them for our wedding. Let’s put it this way, they were the first vendors I hired. Yes before venue or food! The only regret I have is that they haven’t been to every event I’ve been at! I would do it all over again! I would do plain old non event photoshoots with them too if they would let me. Class and beauty is a rare find in a business today but they have that and more in spades!
Totally professional to work with. The props were fantastic- the photos were fabulous. If you need a Photo Booth for your event - choose Paper Moon Shoppe. They will truly make yo...

e were completely hooked on the idea - it’s so unique and it brought such a whimsical and wonderful vibe to our wedding! Especially as huge old film buffs, it was so nice to feel like we had a piece of vintage movie magic there with us. I really wanted to find a photobooth that would stand out and that all our guests - from kids to grandparents - would really be able to enjoy. Paper Moon Shoppe completely delivered, and their team was so kind and professional both in the lead up and on the day. All their moons are gorgeous and they have such an enormous selection - you can truly feel like you are picking out the perfect one for your event. The whole set up stays so perfectly on theme, from the vintage props to the signs to the typewriter your guests put their information into. I highly recommend them!!

d the prints our guests and we received were beautiful. People's jaws legitimately dropped when they saw the booth set up.
Booking was a breeze and the customization was simple and handy. We chose not to include props and our guests were totally happy to find fun poses with just the backdrop and the moon. Trust us, it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

hoto booth set up any of our guests would see. We also rented a moon for our backdrop during the ceremony, and it couldn't have been more beautiful. The team was on time, so organized, did a fantastic job, and made our reception wonderful. 100% recommend them for any event - you won't be disappointed! Thank you Paper Moon!!!

day! We were so very happy that we did, because through Victoria, we found almost all of our vendors for the wedding through her amazing recommendations! Not only did Paper Moon Shoppe set up the most spectacular photo booth on our big day (which all of our guests used like ether was nothing else in the room!) they also helped us with our ceremony altar and decor! These guys are so incredibly sweet, and gracious, and helped us every step of the way with our design elements! They also created a fabulous backdrop for the stage with our band, that was acquired by the venue and is now a permanent fixture! If you want something different and out of this world gorgeous for your wedding day, contact Victoria immediately! We cannot say enough about how much we love, and adore them and their service! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most incredible experience on our most incredible day x
Paper Moon was AMAZING. They were punctual, setting up in a timely manner at our venue. They were well organized and self-contained. Their service is so far above the typical weddi...
ng photo booth. Very impressed by how the photographer engaged people who were posing and helped them to show their best faces :-). Super impressed by their setup: a delightful moon, clouds, lighting. No flimsy cardboard about to fall over. A class act! And very pleased with the onsite printing of photos, all sleeved. Instant access to images via email. Then, after the wedding, easy access to images online. Worth the investment. You will be "Over the Moon".
Paper Moon Shoppe is an absolute treasure. Super easy to work with, very straightforward pricing with different packages, and absolutely amazing sets and props. My guests could not...
stop telling me how much they loved it and how unique it is. I was able to get copies of all of the photos that were taken within a week. Absolutely recommend!

y was speedy too, and we got to look back on everything a few days after our wedding. We'd definitely use them for future events as well!

utiful selection of fun and creative backdrops. All of our guests commented on how much they loved their photos and how good they looked in them!
Paper Moon Shoppe was an absolute DREAM to work with! I was a pandemic bride and moved my date around too many times to count and Chris and Victoria were so kind and understanding ...
with all the changes! Leading up to my wedding they really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They painted their Blushing Moon to face the opposite orientation for us. We also had a custom border on our photo print outs that they edited to make it exactly what we wanted. On the day of everything went smoothly and right on time. Their staff were incredibly nice and put aside all the print outs of me and my husband to give to us at the end of the night. Their moon and backdrop are even more stunning in person! So so soooooo happy we chose them for the photo booth! I cannot recommend them enough!
Thank you Paper Moon Shoppe for making our reception so magical! Our guests had the greatest time getting their pictures taken and the moon, clouds, and signage added to the decor ...
of the wedding with an old timey vibe that our guests raved about for days and weeks after the wedding! The moon booth attendants were so professional, kind, and welcoming as well and their outfits fit within the era of the moon giving the experience an authentic feel for our guests. A special treat was my husband and I receiving an email after the wedding with an album of all of the photos taken at the booth during our wedding. We had so much fun looking through all the photos and reminiscing about our special day. I can’t recommend Paper Moon Shoppe’s services enough!
This was the first vendor we picked even before we had a venue because I love love love hunting for vintage photos. It was a huge hit with our guests and looked stunning at our rec...

so easy to work with and helped us pick the best set up for our big day. We ended up going with the clock and cloud backdrop...stunning! Their props were fun and elegant. Our guests couldn't stop taking pictures all night. And the prints we received that night were a great quality 4x6 that are already framed in our home. If they are available for your wedding BOOK THEM NOW!
I'm so glad I found Paper Moon Shoppe while I was wedding planning - I actually stumbled upon them by accident while googling decor inspiration for our old Hollywood glam/speak eas...
y theme - but when I saw the photo booth, I knew it was meant to be! I couldn't believe this actually existed, it was such a perfect addition, everyone was talking about how cool the photo booth experience was. It feels more like a full-blown art installation and it was GORGEOUS, so even when it wasn't in use, it just added a really cool element. From the set up, to the photos and the overall customer service, this was beyond reasonably priced. Many of the "basic" photo booths I had looked into were actually more expensive and didn't even compare. If you're considering adding this to your event, do it!
I’ve always admired the paper moon photographs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I find them absolutely mesmerizing and magical. I knew from the start that for my wedding,...
I wanted to blend my love of all things spooky and vintage. Consequentially, the paper moon was the first thing I decided upon. I did not care about anything else other than getting the moon first. Of course I contacted several vendors, however, they pale in comparison to the responsiveness and helpfulness of the Paper Moon Shoppe. Victoria and Chris were timely with their response (more so than my actual venue) and informative about their inventory. My wedding happened this October and I wanted a Halloweenish moon. They sent over what was available in accordance to what I was looking for and even helped with customizing a frame for the photos (we used one that looked like it had little bats in the corner). Needless to say, I was extremely happy with the results. They were THE easiest vendor I dealt with through the whole ordeal. Reasonably priced for a photobooth, considering they have some rather simple, boring ones for about the same price. The staff at the wedding was phenomenal and friendly. Honestly, it was an absolute dream!
Paper moon shoppe did an amazing job. So glad we hired them. They were super professional and on time. Their set up was very unique and the photos came out amazing. We would hire t...

Absolutely perfect and dreamy. We had the Gats g moon at our 20th wedding anniversary and it the most fun for our guests and us all night long.

I loved our photo booth. It made our wedding. So unique and beautiful and fun. Chris and Victoria were so friendly and fun. Can't recommend them enough!!!
