History

Established in 2011.

Lisa and Paul got engaged in 2010 and began to search for a photo booth for their own wedding. After hours of finding what we DIDN’T like about photo booth companies and practices we realized that there was a need for a professional and reasonable photo booth company that focuses on customer service in San Diego. With over 20 years experience in the event production industry we decided to apply these talents to this need and 3 2 1 Smile was born. We know what you want because we were standing in the same place you are.

3 2 1 Smile provided photo booth services at my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding this past weekend, and we could not have been more pleased with the services they provided. Paul and his staff were very accommodating and professional on every level. The couple and their guests had so much fun with the photo booth, and many positive comments followed. Their pricing structure is very reasonable for all that is included. The custom designed photo booth strip was a beautiful added bonus and the scrapbook assistance was the icing on the cake. 3 2 1 Smile really is NOT like other photo booth companies and you really will NOT be disappointed!

Hired for an Indian wedding in San Diego. Very easy to work with. Very nice people. They handled their booth well, and at the end delivered us our guestbook, and a flash drive with all the pictures. Would highly recommend them.

I just had 3 2 1 Smile Photo Booth at our wedding on 3÷1÷15 and they were AMAZING!!!
Paul was a pleasure to work with in the pre wedding decisions and provided exactly what we wanted!!! Our guest had a BLAST! They provided tons of fun props, the staff attending the booth was professional and super great with our guest and just the sweetest to us! They went out of their way to make sure we (the bride and groom) were happy!!! Every guest received a copy of every picture taken, a copy went into our album and we received a USB with all the pics taken!!!
321 Smile was a HUGE hit with us and our wedding guest and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone for any occasion!!! I’d definitely hire them again!!!
321 Photo… thank you so much for adding so much fun to our wedding!!!
YOU ROCK!!!
Sincerely,
Colleen & Joe Gallegos

3 2 1 Smile’s Photo Booth was such a hit at my wedding!!!
First of all, the owner, Paul, was great to work with. During the wedding planning he made everything very easy regarding the photo booth. I also loved that he incorporated our wedding colors and design into the photo strip that guests would get.
My guests loved that groups could pile in the booth to take pictures together. The variety of props and costumes were great! They even allow you to add your own props if you wish.
At the wedding, the booth set up and tear down was smooth and organized. The two attendants, Vince & Max, did a wonderful job working with the guests and the children during the reception.
At the end of the wedding, they give you a thumb drive with all the pictures, both as the photo strip and individual pictures, which was very convenient! After the wedding, my husband and I really enjoyed looking through the scrapbook they provide where guests can stick their picture with a message. It was a great memento for our special day!
I’ve been to many weddings, and experienced other photo booths, and 3 2 1 Smile is the BEST! Seriously. Thankfully, they were at my wedding :) I highly recommend them for weddings or anything else to add some extra special fun to the event. Your guests will really thank you!

We used 321 Smile for a Sweet 16 party and booked them fairly last minute. From the first contact made with Paul, I knew it was going to be great. He was super responsive and didn’t get frustrated with me changing the photo design several times (hey I had a teenage girl to make happy). They provided the photo booth, uplighting and speakers for the party. This was super convenient as I didn’t have to enlist the help of yet another vendor. He asked what we wanted his attendants to dress in and made sure they were going to arrive with plenty of time to set up. Valerie and Mark arrived early and were completely set up and ready to go prior to the party starting. The booth was so nice and large. It was a great feature for the party. It was busy the entire evening. Valerie was ridiculously helpful. She saw me come in caring flats of water and went right up to me and took some of the load off of me. She constantly asked if there was anything else she could do and was also very good at jumping in to help without even being asked. She didn’t mind helping with anything — even if it was unrelated to the photo booth. She made sure the lighting was set up and even helped a bit with crowd control. Mark was a very nice, calm personality to have on board. He never seemed ruffled and was very knowledgeable about all of their equipment. I never had to worry for one minute about any of their equipment, it was all handled. At the end they packed up completely and made sure our guest of honor had all the pics from the booth on a USB drive. A delightful addition to our party. So glad that they were able to fit us in. Thanks Paul, Valerie and Mark for contributing to our successful event.

We found 321 Smile through the San Diego Bridal Bazaar last year. They handled our photobooth for our wedding November 9, 2013. Paul, the owner, is a very patient, friendly person to work with, and he provided a very competitive price to utilize their photobooth. After comparing about a dozen different photobooth companies in San Diego, we decided to go with 321 Smile. We also found out that one of our friends had hired 321 Smile for her reception, and she had great things to say, so we were feeling very comfortable with our decision, once our wedding arrived.
A few weeks before the wedding, we worked with Paul to figure out the design for our photobooth print-outs. We had particular ideas on how we wanted the design, and I give Paul SUPERkudos for being so patient and open to working with us on this, and redesigning the layout a few times.
The day of the wedding, the lovely ladies from 321 Smile were there on time, and their set-up was great. I had forgotten that I had mentioned some of my favorite things (including the Chargers and Star Wars), so how wonderful to find that, come our reception, 321 had stocked up with Chargers items and Star Wars gear (light sabers, masks, etc.), as well as several other awesome items. I was really impressed, and it was hilarious. Our guests LOVED the photobooh (from young to older, etc.). The 321 Smile staff members working the photobooth were very kind, professional, and great to work with. We received great photos, the thumbdrive, and the staff did a wonderful job putting the photo book together!
Sidenote: I would also make sure that if it’s your reception, make full use of the photobooth: I was bummed I didn’t take more photos with my husband, and would’ve also have loved to take more photobooth photos with my guests and family.
I would wholeheartedly recommend 321. Thanks so much for a great experience!

I wish that I good give more stars to this business! They were the absolute hit of our entire wedding, I am still getting compliments from my guests. They were unintentionally the best entertainment for the kids as well. My 6 year old had the absolute time of his life, which meant so much to my husband and me.
The scrapbook was the best keepsake anyone could have asked for. The best part; we didn’t have to do anything except buy a scrapbook! They came, set up, helped people choose their props, helped them design their scrapbook pages and more. I cannot say enough about their patience and professionalism! They even helped me orchestrate a flawless photobomb on my husband and his best man!
On top of what a great hit they were, the quality of the pictures was much better than I expected. I’ve been to several weddings with photobooths, but I’ve always found the quality of the pictures to be nothing short of disappointing. These pictures were clear, crisp, detailed and beautiful. Paul even took time to match the format of the background to match our wedding invitations right down to the font. They were hands down the best party favors anyone could ask for. You will not regret hiring 321 Smile for your special event, they are prompt in responding to emails, reasonably priced and accommodating. Thanks again!

These guys were great. As a vendor I worked with them last night at a wedding and saw how happy they made the bride and groom along with the guests. They had a a wide variety of props to use and were so helpful. I can’t wait to work with them again.

321 smile was a total hit!!! We used them for our wedding and everyone absolutely loved them. They had great props, and they were definitely worth the price. Paul works with you to make your own custom design as well, and you get a copy of all the photos when you’re done. Definitely the best photo booth in San Diego!!!

Not only are the the most reasonable and professional people you have met, they are a beautiful couple. We used 321 for our wedding last night and have heard nothing but rave reviews, looked at the pictures and we were so impressed.
Thank you so so much, you guys were truest the BEST.

3 2 1 Smile Photobooth was awesome at our wedding! We are so pleased with all our photos!
We found husband and wife team, 3 2 1 Smile, after discovering them at a bridal expo at the San Diego Convention Center. They offered a very competitive rate for an entire night of unlimited Photobooth pictures. Paul was always in constant contact with us which was a major plus. In prep for the wedding, they created a custom logo/design to print as the frame for our photos. I was so impressed because they incorporated our wedding website theme and our invitation (which were custom made ticketmaster tickets) so it looked so unique!
On the day of, Paul and the other attendant (I didn’t catch her name, unfortunately) had the booth set up quickly and were so professional and friendly the whole night through! They had a table full of cool props (Marvel superhero masks, hats, glasses, mustaches, etc!) and a table for scrap booking your photo directly after taking it. The scrapbook was such a cool touch and they came equipped with awesome Hello Kitty stickers, markers, glitter, construction paper, craft scissors galore!
I was also impressed with how quickly Paul printed the pictures and made enough copies for everyone in the photo. This is a great detail because at so many other photobooths I’ve been to in the past they only printed a few copies so someone usually ended up going home without a copy.
At the end of our wedding night, Paul provided all the digital photo strips and individual digital photos on a thumb drive along with our scrapbook. They even uploaded the entire photo album to their Facebook page (go «like» them!!) the night of the wedding so we were able to tag and share pictures before we even went to bed for the night. Let’s say we spent the night laughing at all the funny photos we saw!
It was so great having them there and they really added to the fun atmosphere of our wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests which is what really matters in the end since photobooths are really for your guests enjoyment.
I have to highly recommend 3 2 1 Smile! I’ve been to a lot of photobooths at weddings and I have to say that 321 was the best! You will love them as much as we did!

First of all, Unilocal continues to be my go-to recommendation site… which is how I found 321 Smile in San Diego! These guys were great, and they sold me with their story about how they started. I have to say, it’s a great business model they have… and their flexibility was WAY beyond what I was getting from other photo booth companies I obtained quotes from.
One special note about Paul and his team, they adjusted photos to fit in a photo-booth holder my mom had made in the Philippines. She literally flew back to the US with 150 of these lamp/photobooth strip holders and I was wondering how they may work with 321’s product. This was no problem at all! More so, the USB drive of ALL the photos from the event keep on presenting me with more things to love about them. My wedding was fun, but I seriously owe a LOT to the props Paul and his team had for those photos. Again… SOOO much more additional stuff than other companies I was getting quotes from.
Also, the size was PERFECT since we had a lot of room for them in the foyer. More group photos made more fun!

We were at such a loss for a reputable photo booth for our wedding but somehow my fiancée came across 3 2 1 Smile on Unilocal and from our first interactions with Paul we knew we had found a true professional!
Paul was so easy to work with and made sure to meet every one of our needs. He custom matched the background of our photo strip, making many edits and emailing me while I was cross country at the time! He was so understanding and attentive. And you truly can’t beat the price. You get so much more than you pay for with Paul and his team!
On the day of our wedding in October, at the Estancia La Jolla, we had a blast! Everyone keeps talking about how much fun and how much of a surprise it was to have a photo booth at their disposal. That night we couldn’t wait to look through our book. It is such a great memento we now have to share with everyone! Thank you!

Paul is THE BEST in the biz to work with!!! Here are just a few reasons why.
3 2 1 Smile
1. has a PLETHORA of props
2. has the ability to let your guests sit or stand during their photo booth experience
3. offers attendants at your event that will help guests choose props and scrapbook photos
4. gives your guests multiple copies of pictures taken in the booth
5. gives you a thumb drive at the end of the night with ALL pictures on it in photo strip form and photo only form
6. FINALLY… THIS SHOULD BE THE #1 REASON… THEY’RE AFFORDABLE!
I want to throw a party just so I can hire these people again!
Thank you Paul at 3 2 1 Smile for making my wedding memorable for all!!!

After I was introduced to 3 2 1 Smile at North County Unilocal Elite event, I was sold on their company! They provide high quality prints and lots of PROPS with it! They offer a great price for their service! One thing that really stood out to me is how spacious their booth is. You can hold more than the average 2 – 4 people which is great when you are in a big group. I recommended them to my friend to use them at her wedding and she ran into them at the Bridal Bazaar and booked them!
The wedding was last weekend and the photo booth was a hit! I would definitely recommend them again!

I love how they work with the client. They ask how big you’d like the booth, where, etc. They offer great ideas. Have tons of fun props. The photographers are super friendly and enjoy what they do. I’ve seen some photo booth people that are tired and cranky. 3 2 1 Smile wants to see you be happy with your pics… if not, they’ll take another set. Really enjoyed working with them — and then running into them at the Bridal Show. Really positive vibe! That goes a long way :-)
I love how they have many themes to decorate your photo sheet with. This is not your typical photo strip. These are 3 X 5 possibly. Super fun!

We had 3 2 1 Smile’s photo booth at our July 27^th wedding in San Diego and they certainly deserve all of these 5 star reviews. I found them at a bridal show and am thrilled with their business.
They have the most reasonable price out of all photo booth vendors in the city (I checked) and their product is great! Most companies charge you by the hour but 3 2 1 sets up before your event and stays the whole time. They were easy to work with, fast to respond, patient, and really fun people to work with.
They let me bring my own scrapbook but they provided all the pens, scissors, and glue and helped our guests get all the photos in our book. Before my husband and I left for the night, we were able to take our scrapbook and the memory stick with us. We had a blast going through it at breakfast together then next morning. They made sure to print extra pictures for all the shots that the Bride and Groom were in so we could have those also. They also host your pictures on Facebook if you want. It all couldn’t have been easier for us.
They have a great collection of props that they kept nicely organized throughout our event. They help get everyone set up for the pictures and print copies for everyone in each shot. Our guests on the outside of the booth were able to see the shots on a screen as they were being taken which was a big hit. Our reception was outside and the pictures turned out well both when it was light and after it got dark outside.
Our guests loved the photo booth and the friendly people running it. It was one of the most talked about thing at our wedding. Book them and tip them well. They deserve it.

I had taken photos from their booth set up in the Sexy Salsa Unilocal Event at the Terrace Restaurant and Bar. It was very fun! They had so many props for us to play with, hats, feathers, masks, roses, so many fancy things to decorate ourselves! We also got 3 shots on each photo. Service was quick too — the photos were ready in a few minutes. One of the staff was so nice to let us take a second picture because we messed up one of our shots.
It’s definitely a fun add-on to your private party or event. Your guests will have so much fun taking crazy creative photos while they’re drunk hahaha.
Thank you 321 smile. You did make us smile :)

321 Smile is a great photo-booth company! They make sure everyone in the group photo gets a copy each and you get three poses for each take! CHEEEESE!!!
I would say their props are A+++ You can feel the quality of their props they provide and they come out great with your beautiful smile.
The staff was professional, friendly, and patient especially when your party starts getting a little goofy towards the end of the night.
The quality of the photo is sharp and crisp and I loved the red background they provided tonight, thanks 321 Smile for the memories!!!
