About Social Photo Events

At Social Photo Events, we are dedicated to transforming your special occasions into unforgettable experiences through our premier photo booth rentals and professional event photography services. Founded by Rupert Thorpe, a seasoned photographer with over 25 years of experience, our company combines a passion for photography with cutting-edge technology to capture moments that last a lifetime.


Our Journey

Rupert’s fascination with photography began in his early years in England, where he started taking pictures at the age of eight and even set up a darkroom in his parents’ house. His career evolved as he worked for PR firms, nightclubs, and newspapers, eventually leading him to Los Angeles. Here, he recognized the potential of merging photography with technology to connect people with brands, giving birth to Social Photo Events.
