NYC Photo Booth Rentals for Events & Weddings

Energizing celebrations across the boroughs

What We Do

Photo booths can have a reputation for being tacky, clunky, and an afterthought. We built Third Rail to be the opposite.

Every setup runs on professional camera equipment and studio lighting. Every print is designed specifically for your event. Every attendant is there to make the experience seamless — not just babysit a machine. No cheesy props. No eyesore in the corner.

The result: a booth your guests want to use, photos they actually keep, and an experience that compliments the event you worked hard to plan.

Which Photo Booth Experience is right for you?

Our signature experience. Professional lighting, unlimited prints, and fully customizable design. This is the crowd-pleaser — and it delivers every time.

Roaming Photo Booth

From First Dances to Brand Activations

A photo booth at your reception gives guests something to do between courses and a keepsake to take home at the end of the night. We design the setup to complement your styling — not compete with it. No neon signs. No cartoon props. Just a clean, elevated experience that fits your day.

Weddings

Corporate Events & Brand Activations

Every photo becomes a branded touchpoint your guests voluntarily take home and share. We work with marketing teams, event planners, and agencies to deliver a cohesive brand experience — from the booth wrap to the print design to the digital gallery. Past clients include Eataly, DialPad, Healthfirst, and more.

Birthdays, anniversaries, mitzvahs, holiday parties — if you're bringing people together, a photo booth gives them a reason to interact. We handle setup to breakdown so you can focus on the party.

Social Events & Private Parties

NYC's Photo Booth Company

We're based in New York City and serve events across all five boroughs and beyond. Whether your event is in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, or Staten Island — or at a venue in Westchester, Long Island, or New Jersey — we know how to navigate NYC logistics and make the magic happen.

We've worked in small Manhattan ballrooms, sprawling Brooklyn loft spaces, rooftop venues, and everything in between. If your venue has a tricky load-in, a freight elevator, or a tight setup window, we won't be deterred.

Common Questions
