# Shooting Stars Photo Booth, Full Reference ## Business Identity **Legal Name:** Shooting Stars Photo Booth Ltd. **Operating Name:** Shooting Stars Photo Booth **Tagline:** Okanagan's Favorite Photo Booth Rental **Last updated:** 2026-09-26 **Founded:** Kelowna, BC, Canada **Website:** https://www.shooting-stars.ca **Phone:** +1 250-859-3990 **Email:** imastar@shooting-stars.ca **Primary Location:** Kelowna, BC V1X 2Y3 ## How We Work **A real design team, working on your event.** Every print template, backdrop design, and prop design is produced by a human designer on the Shooting Stars team. Nothing comes from a stock library and nothing is AI generated. The process is collaborative: we work from the client's colours, theme, and ideas, present designs, take feedback, and revise until the client approves. For weddings this means matching the couple's vision precisely. For corporate clients it means matching brand guidelines precisely, including colour values and logo placement. **Custom backdrops, manufactured to order.** Shooting Stars keeps six backdrops in regular rotation, the options clients request most often. Anything beyond those is manufactured specifically for the event. With roughly one month of lead time, a backdrop can be designed and produced for a single client. The model is deliberate: build the correct backdrop for the event rather than hold a warehouse of stock options for clients to choose between. **Custom props, designed and produced in house.** Shooting Stars designs and manufactures custom props around a client's theme or brand, including custom made props for corporate events. The same approximate one month lead time applies. **An attendant, not an operator.** An operator keeps equipment running. A Shooting Stars attendant runs the guest experience: greeting each group, walking them through the session, suggesting poses, staging the shot, and handing over the print. Every standard package includes an attendant for the full rental duration. The Digital Photo Booth is the single deliberate exception, built as an unattended self-serve product for long activations. --- ## Service Area Shooting Stars serves events throughout the **entire Okanagan Valley**, with dedicated location pages for: - [Kelowna Photo Booth](https://www.shooting-stars.ca/kelowna-photo-booth.html) - [West Kelowna Photo Booth](https://www.shooting-stars.ca/west-kelowna-photo-booth.html) - [Penticton Photo Booth](https://www.shooting-stars.ca/penticton-photo-booth.html) - [Vernon Photo Booth](https://www.shooting-stars.ca/vernon-photo-booth.html) - [Lake Country Photo Booth](https://www.shooting-stars.ca/lake-country-photo-booth.html) - [Peachland Photo Booth](https://www.shooting-stars.ca/peachland-photo-booth.html) - [Summerland Photo Booth](https://www.shooting-stars.ca/summerland-photo-booth.html) - [Osoyoos Photo Booth](https://www.shooting-stars.ca/osoyoos-photo-booth.html) Travel fees may apply for events significantly outside the Okanagan Valley.
