Mark Reed is the owner and Chief Architect of Smiles for Shining Star Photo Booth. Shining Star began operations as a part time wedding photo booth company in 2012 with one booth. At that time Mark was also the Director of IT/IS for a worldwide décor and framed art company.

He was responsible for the global implementation of ERP systems, network infrastructures and the data needs of 19 locations worldwide. Mark saw the opportunity to get out of the corporate rat race and take Shining Star to much higher levels.  Within less than a year and leaving the corporate IT world behind, Mark took the company full time and grew it to a 13 booth company with a staff of 9 that services events nationally with a core focus in the Mid-Atlantic states.

Shining Star has forged a stellar reputation for bringing the best engaging experiences to clients. Shining Star continues to evolve into a leader in the corporate and consumer photo entertainment world.
