Salinas & Monterey County’s Photo Booth for Every Celebration
you're in the right place
Meet Martin & Jennifer
Hi, we’re Martin & Jennifer. Core Memories started in our garage in Salinas with a single DIY booth Martin built for his sister’s graduation. The guests loved it so much that two friends asked us to bring it to their weddings, and within a year we were booking quinceañeras and corporate events every weekend across Monterey County, Santa Cruz, and the South Bay. We’re now a small family team running multiple booths, and we still personally show up to every wedding and quinceañera we book. That hands-on care is what makes the difference — and why our couples in Salinas, Monterey, Carmel, and San Jose keep referring us to their friends.
