Custom Photo Booth Overlays
Winnipeg & Southern Manitoba
CUSTOM DESIGNED PHOTO OVERLAYS TO MATCH YOUR EVENT
Every photo your guests take home deserves a frame that's as unique as your event. At AJ's Mystic Mirror, we design custom photo overlays for every booking — matching your colours, theme, and personality. From elegant wedding monograms to bold corporate branding, your overlay transforms a simple photo into a polished keepsake your guests will treasure. Each guest receives a high-gloss printed copy and can also have their photo texted or emailed instantly during the event.
Serving Winnipeg and all of Southern Manitoba.
Our Custom Overlays are professionally designed photo layouts that add a personalized, polished touch to every photo taken at your event. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, social, birthday, corporate event, fundraiser, or community celebration in Winnipeg or Southern Manitoba, your overlay is created to match your exact theme, colors, and style. Each design includes your event name, date, branding, or custom graphics, ensuring every photo becomes a meaningful keepsake for your guests.
We design overlays for all of our booths — Mirror Me, Mirror X, Vintage Camper Booth, and the 1920’s Roaming Booth — so your photos look cohesive and elevated no matter which experience you choose. From elegant wedding templates to bold corporate branding, fun birthday themes, and modern minimalist designs, your overlay is tailored to your vision.
Custom overlays not only enhance the look of your photos but also help create a unified aesthetic across your event. Guests love taking home personalized images, and businesses appreciate the added brand visibility. Whether you want something simple and clean or bold and artistic, we’ll create a design that fits your event perfectly.

What Is a Custom Overlay?
A custom overlay is the designed frame that surrounds your guests' photos. Think of it as the border, branding, and finishing touch that makes every print look professionally designed — because it is.
We offer overlays in multiple sizes and layouts:
✔ Photo Strip (2x6) — The classic photo strip with 3 or 4 stacked images. Included in pricing.
✔ 4x6 Postcard — Our most popular size. Room for 1, 2, 3, or 4 photos plus custom text and design. Included in pricing.
✔ 5x7 Print — A larger format perfect for weddings and formal events. Available for an additional charge.
✔ 6x8 Print — Our largest option for maximum visual impact. Available for an additional charge.
All overlays can be designed in portrait or landscape orientation, depending on your event's look and feel.
Types of Overlay Designs We Create
🖼️ Single Shot — One large photo with a custom border, text, and branding. Clean and elegant.
📸 Multi-Photo Layouts — 2, 3, or 4 photos per print. Our most popular is 3 portrait photos in a 4x6 layout with room for custom text and the signature feature.
🎞️ Photo Strips — Classic vertical strips with 3 or 4 images stacked. A timeless keepsake guests love to take home.
📰 Magazine Covers — Your guests become the cover star of a custom-designed magazine cover. A huge hit at corporate events and galas.
🎨 Black & White / Vintage Filters — Elegant, timeless photo styles applied directly to the overlay for a sophisticated look.
🟩 Green Screen Composites — Transport your guests anywhere with custom green screen backgrounds built right into the overlay.
✍️ Signature Feature — Guests can sign their photo on the touchscreen before printing — their handwritten message becomes part of the printed overlay.
🚫 No Overlay Option — Prefer a clean, borderless photo? That's available too. No overlay, just the image.
