Our story
We are bringing the photo booth back.
SmileMore started in Davie in 2026 with one idea: people do not need more photos. They need one they can hold.
circa a long time ago
circa last TuesdayWhy we exist
You have thousands of photos. How many have you held?
The photo booth is a 100-year-old idea that still works because the print is the product. We are keeping it alive one strip at a time, without turning it into a museum piece.
We run SmileMore through our parent company, Vertex Vending Group, right here in South Florida. When something breaks, we fix it. When a venue wants something custom, we can say yes.
Who we are
The photo booth brand of Vertex Vending Group
SmileMore Photo Booths is the consumer brand of Vertex Vending Group LLC, a vending company founded in Davie, Florida in March 2026 by Thomas Steckman. Vertex builds and runs the booths. SmileMore is the name on the curtain.
What we do
Free walk-in booths for busy venues
We place enclosed, staff-free photo booths in bars, restaurants, campuses, attractions and other high-traffic venues at no cost. Guests pay per session, the venue earns a share, and we handle install, paper, monitoring and repairs. We also build and sell the SmileMore Classic booth.
Where we work
South Florida and Ontario
Our first booth opened at Nova Southeastern University in August 2026. We serve Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, plus Ontario, Canada through our rep Ron Shteiman. Call or text 347-577-3033.
Built here
Set up and serviced in Davie
Camera, printer, payments. We chose every part and we know every part.
Real paper
Prints you will find in a drawer in 2045
Dye-sub photo paper, not a receipt printer. It is the difference between a keepsake and trash.
Local
Close enough to show up fast
We only place booths where we or our local rep can drive to them.

From the SmileMore team
Hi, we are SmileMore.
We started with photo booth rentals for events. After enough parties, we wanted a booth that lived somewhere permanently. NSU let us put the first one in their student center.
If you have got a spot for one, or just want to tell us the strip design is ugly, our inbox is open.
