The photobooth was aesthetically pleasing to look at and looked so beautifully in the ballroom for our reception space. All of our guests loved it and they were able to take home memorable photos from the night. Dayra was amazing to work with.

Hello! I’m Dayra — a proud Latina, born and raised in Chula Vista, San Diego, and creative founder of Pardon My Photobooth. My journey began during the pandemic year of 2020, with Picnic Station; a passion project born from a desire to bring people together through unique, aesthetic picnic events. I fell in love with the art of designing event experiences that spark joy, elegance, and connection. Today, that same passion continues through Pardon My Photobooth — a mirror photobooth experience designed to capture fun in its most timeless form.

When i’m not curating events, I’m usually exploring coffee spots, traveling, or brunching with the girls! I also love styling outfits, a fresh nail set, attending music festivals, and watching movies — grounded by faith and inspired by life’s simple joys. ♡
