Tier 1 — Tier 3

Real photographers. Real direction. Decisive moments.

Our portable portrait studio sets up at your event in 60-90 minutes. We bring our own clean backdrop and professional lighting if you want a minimal editorial frame — or we work inside the environment you’ve already designed: your florist’s installation, your venue’s architecture, your event’s styled set. Either way, the studio is run by Joe Keum or Joyce Keum, both founding photographers with 23 years of portrait craft.

What makes a Lounge a Lounge

Three things a photo booth can't do.

  • 01

    AI face recognition + QR-linked galleries

    Real-time face recognition links each guest's selfie to their portraits. They walk away with a QR code that opens directly to their photos in the post-event gallery — no "text yourself the strip" workaround.

  • 02

    Capture One tethered live preview

    Guests see their photos appear on-monitor as they're shot. Capture One is the professional fashion and editorial standard — most photographers shoot to card and review later. The VIP feeling, made operationally real.

  • 03

    24-hour gallery delivery SLA

    Industry-leading turnaround. Most wedding photographers take four to eight weeks. We deliver within twenty-four hours so the host can email guests their portraits while the memory of the night is still fresh.

Mode A · Mode B

Two ways to set up. Same tier pricing.

The set isn't intentionally minimal — it's adaptive. We bring the studio, or we roll into yours.

Mode A · Default

We bring the studio.

Clean backdrop. Professional lighting. On-site monitor. A minimal editorial frame that works at any venue, any time of day, any lighting condition.

Best when the venue is the venue, and the portrait is the focus.

In-studio portrait setup — Studio JK Photography

Mode B · Your set

We roll into yours.

Florist installation. Gala backdrop. Brand activation. Your venue's architecture. We bring the portable studio into the environment you've already designed and shoot inside it.

Best when the environment is part of the story.

The Lounge inside a styled venue environment — Studio JK Photography

Same Tier 1-3 pricing either way. The Tier 1-3 → Tier 4 jump is "are we building the set," not "are we using a custom set."

How it runs

From setup to gallery in 24 hours.

  1. 1-2 hrs before

    Setup

    Tier 1 setup is typically 1 hour. Tier 2 (On-Site Prints) runs up to 2 — the editing and print workstation has more variables, so we ask for the cushion.

  2. 3 hrs

    Event

    Three hours of event coverage. Up to ~150 guests per studio in a 3-hour window. Capture One tethered live preview, real-time AI face recognition, QR-to-gallery handoff.

  3. 1 hr after

    Breakdown

    Studio strikes within an hour of the event close. Backdrop, lighting, and (Tier 2-3) print station packed and out of the room.

  4. Within 24 hrs

    Gallery delivery

    Pic-Time gallery delivered within 24 hours of event close. Industry-leading SLA. The host can email guests their portraits while the night is still fresh in their memory.
