Smile City is a San Francisco Bay Area company, founded by John Davies. After renting a photo booth for his own wedding, John conceived a luxury photo booth that was sleek, elegant and user-friendly. Drawing upon his expertise as a photographer, designer and cabinetmaker, he combined modern materials and state-of-the-art technology to create a one-of-a-kind photo booth experience. We are passionate about the Smile City photo booth and look forward to bringing you good times and great photos.
