The 312 Photo Lounge offers an exclusive, high-end portrait experience, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to your wedding or special event. We set up a professional studio right at your venue, where a skilled photographer captures stunning, magazine-quality black and white portraits of your guests. These beautiful images provide a distinct and lasting keepsake, separate from the candid moments documented by your main event photographer.

The 312 Photo Lounge is a refined alternative to a typical photo booth. Our focus is on creating elegant, editorial-style portraits against a pristine, high-key white backdrop, utilizing professional lighting. You won’t find playful props, chaotic backgrounds, or instant, low-quality prints here. Instead, our professional portrait artist guides each guest, ensuring polished, frame-worthy images. It’s a curated, art-directed session, not a casual, self-service one.

Your event photographer excels at capturing the spontaneous emotions and overarching narrative of your day. The 312 Photo Lounge, however, provides a dedicated, styled portrait experience for your guests. We produce timeless, studio-quality black and white images that are expertly directed and captured, offering a beautiful and distinct set of memories that perfectly complement your event’s candid photography.

We need a minimum 10′ x 10′ area with at least 10–11 feet of overhead clearance, plus access to a standard power outlet. For optimal guest engagement, we recommend a highly visible spot near the main reception area, perhaps adjacent to a lounge, bar, or guest flow path.

Our standard package includes 1-hour of photography and production time, usually during cocktail hour and the initial part of your reception. This timing often allows for maximum guest participation. If you desire extended coverage, additional hours can be easily arranged to suit your event’s timeline.

Absolutely! Every 312 Photo Lounge experience is staffed by a professional photographer. They’re adept at guiding guests into flattering, editorial-style poses and possess a warm, personable approach, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Yes, on-site editing and printing are available as an optional enhancement. This means your guests can take home a beautifully retouched, black and white portrait printed on luxurious, archival-quality paper – a unique and memorable keepsake from your celebration

Definitely! Post-event, we offer bespoke framing services and even consultations for designing gallery walls. Our framing partners use museum-grade materials, and our design team can help you curate a stunning display of your favorite portraits

The 312 Photo Lounge is available for a base rate of $3,000 for the initial hour. Should you wish to extend the portrait experience, each additional hour is $1,000. This allows you to customize the coverage to perfectly fit your event’s timeline.
