Portrait of a wedding guest

How it works

  1. A guest being photographed at the Momento station

    01

    Step in

    Our photographer takes a short series of portraits in front of our studio backdrop.

  2. A guest choosing their portrait on the iPad

    02

    Choose

    Moments later the photos appear on our iPad. Guests flip through and pick their favourite.

  3. A guest holding their printed portrait

    03

    Take it home

    Their portrait prints on the spot: a 4×6 with our signature vintage white border.

  4. A guest-book page with a portrait and a handwritten note

    04

    Leave a note Add-on

    Guests write a message by hand, and it's placed beside their portrait on a page of your guest book.

Wi-Fi Apps Waiting

No Wi-Fi, no apps, no waiting for a gallery link. Just a portrait in hand, the same night.

Meet the photographers

Ethan & Darrian

Two friends with cameras and an idea: guests deserve better than a photo booth.

We've been friends since sixth grade, and we've always shared two things: a love of photography and a love of technology. At weddings and events, we kept seeing clunky setups and forgettable photos. Momento is our answer.

We shoot in black and white because it's timeless and it never clashes with the room. And we built our own software so every event runs simply: guests step in, choose their favourite, and leave with a print. We run every event ourselves.

About XYZ × XYZ ft and one power outlet.

Are all the portraits black and white?
