Corporate Photo Booth at The Observatory

At Stellar Z Photo Booth, we don’t just capture moments—we help create unforgettable experiences. We had the distinct honor of being part of a truly impactful evening: the Seated Together Annual Level Up Cocktail Reception, hosted by Emerge America during Congressional Black Caucus Week in Washington, DC. This event wasn’t just another stop on our calendar—it was an experience filled with empowerment, celebration, and powerful storytelling, all set against one of the most iconic skylines in the country.
A Rooftop Event with a View that Spoke Volumes
Held at The Observatory at America Square, this luxury rooftop penthouse delivered breathtaking, panoramic views of the U.S. Capitol and the historic DC skyline. The setting couldn't have been more perfect. As the sun dipped behind the monuments, the stage was set for a memorable night of networking, inspiration, and celebration of Black women leaders in politics.
From the moment we set up our Corporate Photo Booth, the energy was electric. It was clear that this was more than just an event—it was a gathering of legacy makers and changemakers, and we were honored to be in the room.

Photo Booth Vibe: More Than Just a Picture
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from doing events across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, it’s that people love to celebrate themselves, especially when they’re among community, purpose, and joy. Our booth brought the fun, and the guests brought the fabulous energy.
We offered three immersive experiences that night:
Classic Photos
GIFs
Video Bursts
Guests were excited to capture the moment—whether it was a group of friends snapping a fun boomerang, or individuals stepping up for their “photoshoot-style” solo portraits. With every flash, you could see the pride, the joy, and the vibe of the evening radiating.
It was heartening to see a long line form at our booth, not because people were waiting, but because they genuinely couldn’t wait to experience the moment. Every guest was camera-ready, stylish, and completely present. Laughter echoed, poses were struck, and memories were made—all of it captured by our team.
Why Stellar Z Continues to Be a Hit at High-Profile Events
We believe that a photo booth should never be an afterthought—it should be a key part of your event’s experience strategy. Here’s why we continue to be a go-to photo booth partner for elite events, from weddings to corporate galas:
1. Elevated Visual Aesthetic
We go beyond the traditional photo booth setup. Our backdrops, lighting, and tech are designed to blend with luxury environments while offering studio-quality images.
2. Interactive Experiences
Guests want more than just a print-out. They want to engage, share, and enjoy. That’s why we offer features like AI augmentation, GIF creation, video bursts, video FX, branded overlays, and instant social sharing.
3. Custom Branding for Impact
Events like Emerge America’s reception benefit from the ability to customize the booth and photo outputs with event branding, sponsor logos, and messages—making the content shareable and memorable. This is a perfect example of how a photo booth can become a powerful brand storytelling tool.
At Stellar Z, we offer full-scale booth customization to align seamlessly with your brand's identity, voice, and message. This isn’t just about slapping a logo on a printout. It’s about making the photo booth an extension of your brand experience, visually and interactively. Our photo experiences create organic engagement that guests want to participate in.
In short—it all boils down to the type of experience you want to have.
