DARC Sport × The Pink Motel
For DARC Sport's summer party at the iconic Pink Motel in Sun Valley, we brought our enclosed Vintage Photo Booth: wood-grain walls, a red velvet curtain, a checkered floor, and classic black & white photo strips guests carried around all night.
A photo moment that fits the brand and the venue
DARC Sport, the fitness apparel brand behind the Wolves community, threw its summer party on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at the Pink Motel in Sun Valley, one of Los Angeles' most recognizable retro locations. The crowd showed up in matching DARC jerseys and roller skates, and the party had a nostalgic, film-set feel.
The photo experience had to belong there: something guests would line up for, that photographs well itself, and that sends people home with a keepsake instead of just another phone photo.
Why the Vintage Booth
Our Vintage Booth is a fully enclosed photo booth. Guests step behind the red velvet curtain onto a black-and-white checkered floor, sit on the built-in bench and shoot on a touchscreen under studio lighting. Seconds later a classic black & white photo strip drops from the print slot outside, and a digital copy is ready to share.
The enclosed design matters at a party like this. It gives a group a private moment away from the crowd, so people relax, squeeze in together and get the candid, funny strips that end up on the fridge. From the outside, the wood-grain cabinet and red curtain read as a set piece that suits the Pink Motel's retro look.
Enclosed booth with bench
Room for a group inside, a curtain for privacy, and a touchscreen that walks guests through each session.
Classic black & white strips
Instant 2x6 strips with three frames, printed in seconds, plus digital sharing by text, email or QR code.
Setup, attendant, breakdown
We set up before doors, ran the booth with an attendant through the party and packed out after.
Built to be branded
Brands can add a custom curtain, a full wrap, a poster on the cabinet, branded strip designs and screens, plus lead capture, CRM integration and an analytics report.
