We recently connected with Marco Buenrostro and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Marco thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?

To me, success is all about delivering what you promise. It’s easy to paint a perfect picture for potential clients, but the real question is—can you make it happen? Success comes from experience, and being in the photo booth rental business for 10 years has taught me that firsthand.

We’ve faced our share of challenges, especially in 2020 when we had an entire year without events. But instead of letting that time go to waste, we made the most of it: learning new technology, mastering our customer service skills, and connecting through online networking. Each of these efforts helped us come back stronger.

Staying humble and true to your values, while genuinely loving the art of what you do, is the key to building a successful business. It’s not just about surviving the tough times but growing through them and continuously delivering on what you promise to your clients.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

When I started MBP Photo Booth almost 10 years ago, it was just a side hustle. I’ve always loved traveling and wanted a source of income that would fuel my adventures around the world. But soon, I realized there was so much more to it. I loved being part of events, making people smile, and seeing how our photo booths could help businesses grow and engage with their audiences. That’s when I knew this was my passion.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is hearing feedback from our clients, whether it’s after a wedding, corporate event, or a fundraiser. Knowing that we made their event memorable is what drives us. At MBP Photo Booth, we focus on quality and customization for every client. For weddings, we work to ensure everything is tailored to the couple’s unique style and vision, making sure our services seamlessly blend with the vibe of their big day. For corporate clients, we aim to elevate their brand presence. Our photo booths act as powerful marketing tools that help companies showcase their brand in innovative ways, creating an experience that connects with their audience.

Our ideal client is someone who appreciates a high-quality product and values an experience that goes beyond the ordinary. What sets us apart is how much we invest in understanding and delivering what our clients need. We don’t just rent out a machine and call it a day—we get involved, listen to what our clients envision, and guide them through what will best suit their event. Often, clients come in thinking a photo booth is just a machine that takes fun pictures. But we love showing them that it’s so much more. We create connections at networking events, lasting memories at weddings, and moments that will be cherished for years. Getting to know our clients and helping them bring their ideas to life is what makes MBP Photo Booth truly special.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

Delivering great customer service and a high-quality product has been our best friend when it comes to getting the word out about MBP Photo Booth. Our commitment to excellence ensures potential clients know we are a company that can meet all their needs.

Over the years, we have built numerous connections with wedding planners, corporate planners, and various organizations around town. These relationships have been invaluable. They trust our work and regularly refer clients to us because they know we’ll represent them well and provide an exceptional experience. This strong network and reputation have proven to be our most reliable source of new clients.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

I believe what has helped build my reputation is a genuine commitment to being the best at what we do. People know that I always go the extra mile to ensure every event runs smoothly and that clients get the best possible Photo Booth experience. Over the years, I’ve built trust with many corporate clients, as well as friends and family members of past wedding clients. Word spreads that at MBP Photo Booth, we truly care about each event, tailoring our services to fit the unique needs of every client. Our customers want the best of the best, and they know they can rely on us to deliver that every time.
