What Started as a Cute Photo Booth Visit Ended With a Pregnancy Surprise

A woman brought her unsuspecting husband to tears when she revealed she was pregnant inside the same photo booth they used to snap photos to announce their marriage.

Demi and Dustin, from Orange County, California, moved closer together after a long-distance relationship and married in a small private ceremony, with just the two of them present, in March 2023.

Since only the couple’s immediate families knew, Demi, 30, wanted a fun way to break the news afterwards to others.

She settled on Booth By Bryant, a vintage and analog Photo Booth in Costa Mesa, where the couple took photos in their wedding rings, which they then posted on Instagram in March 2025.

After discovering she was pregnant later that year, Demi knew she wanted to plan a special surprise announcement for Dustin, 29.

She decided their booth would be the perfect location – but this time she thought outside the analog box and decided to secretly record the moment, too.

On December 20, 2025, having taken Dustin to the booth once more, Demi started posing for a series of shots with her husband.

With Dustin very focused on the next flash, Demi was able to sneak out a positive pregnancy test, which she held up as photos were being taken.

When everything suddenly clicked, Dustin looked into Demi’s eyes in disbelief, his eyes welling up with tears of joy.

Demi, who is expecting a girl on August 13, said: “Since the photo booth is analogue, there’s no screen to see what you look like, so Dustin didn’t actually realize what I was holding up until I turned it around and got him to really look at it.

“He was so focused on not missing the next flash.

“We laughed, got emotional and really just let it all sink in, and I think it was captured so well.

“We really didn’t think for a second that the video would be watched by so many people online, and who would leave such heartwarming messages of support.

“The response has been so positive, and it really made me happy to see so many people using the internet for good.”
