We worked with PicBooth at the JUNO Awards Official After Party in support of MusiCounts and the experience was nothing short of AMAZING. The guests were so happy. … MusiCounts would 10000000% work with them again.
About · St. Catharines, since 2020
A photographer, seven booths, and a printer that never gets to rest
The chaos is optional. The prints are not.
Pic Booth is Rick Taylor and a small crew working out of St. Catharines. We rent photo booths, but the actual job is simpler than that: put something real in someone's hand before they leave the room. Everything on this site is downstream of that.

Rick Taylor
Founder, and the guy at your event
Twenty-five years behind cameras — including a stretch as a professional skydiving photographer, which is a job that teaches you to get the shot on the first pass because there isn't a second one. Before that, and alongside it, trade shows: booths, crowds, lead capture, and the specific problem of making strangers stop walking.
Pic Booth started in 2020 and has run 100+ events since. Rick still works them. If you book a Saturday in Niagara, there's a good chance the person levelling the Mirror at 4pm is the one who answered your email.
What that actually buys you
- Lighting set by someone who understands lighting
- A line that keeps moving when 40 people arrive at once
- Someone who notices the print is coming out warm and fixes it
- Load-in and teardown handled without a conversation
What We Believe
Three things we'd argue about at a dinner party
01
A screen is not a keepsake
An iPad booth emails you a file. Our booths hand you paper. The Mirror talks back, the Draw Bots draw you, the keychain gets pressed into your hand — you can hold all of it. That's the difference we're selling, and it's the only one that matters at 11pm.
02
Photographers, not operators
Most companies staff a booth with whoever was free. Every staffed Pic Booth rental includes a trained photographer for the whole event. It costs us more. It shows up in every print, which is why we keep doing it.
03
Real numbers, in public
Our rate card is on the website with actual prices on it, not a form that promises a callback. The deposit is a flat $100. If something is quote-only, we say quote-only instead of inventing a "from" price.
The Credential
When the JUNOs came to Hamilton, they called St. Catharines
The Fleet
Seven booths, and what each one is for
We don't run everything on every job. Part of the quote is telling you which one belongs in your room — and saying so when it isn't the expensive one.
- Magic Mirror — full-length, talks back, draws a crowd
- DSLR open-air — the best photograph of the night
- 360 video booth — the clip people post that evening
- Magazine / Vogue booth — guests on a cover
- Self-serve booth — all day, guest-run, no attendant
- Draw Bots — a robot draws your guests, live
- Mosaic Wall — the room assembles your logo out of its own faces
- Add-ons — audio guest book, keychains, marquee letters, metallic prints
Where We Work
Based in St. Catharines. The booths do the travelling.
We're a mobile service — the booths come to your venue, so there's nothing to visit. Niagara is home turf, and the GTA is a regular drive.
- St. Catharines — home base, no travel fee
- Niagara region — Falls, NOTL, Welland, Grimsby
- Hamilton — where the JUNOs were
- Burlington and Oakville
- Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham
- Toronto and the wider GTA
Travel is included rather than added to the invoice afterwards. The number you're given is the number you pay.
Questions
About us, answered plainly
Who runs Pic Booth?
Rick Taylor — 25+ years behind cameras, including professional skydiving photography and trade-show activation work. He founded Pic Booth in St. Catharines in 2020 and still runs events himself.
Where are you based?
St. Catharines, Ontario. We're a mobile service — the booths travel to your venue rather than guests coming to us — and we work across Niagara, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Toronto and the wider GTA.
Are your attendants actually photographers?
Yes. Every staffed booth includes a trained photographer for the full rental, not a kiosk operator. You see it in the lighting on a print, and in how fast the line moves when something goes sideways.
What's the JUNO Awards connection?
The 55th JUNO Awards came to Hamilton in March 2026, and we ran the official After Party booth in support of MusiCounts — two activations, 1,000+ guests, 3.5 hours. The case study is here. That one's not a joke.
How many booths do you have?
Seven: Magic Mirror, DSLR open-air, 360 video, Magazine/Vogue, self-serve, Draw Bots and the Mosaic Wall — plus add-ons that run alongside any of them.
How far ahead should I book?
Three to six months is typical. Peak-season Saturdays and the bundle go earlier — nine to twelve months out isn't unusual. Ask anyway if your date is sooner; we'll tell you honestly what's open.
Want the guy who wrote this at your event?
Send the date and the venue and you'll get a real answer, usually the same day.
Check Your Date
Tell us about it. We'll tell you what fits.
Date, venue, rough headcount. We'll come back with what's open, what it costs, and which booth actually belongs in your room — including when that's the cheaper one.
