Our Story

Portside Photobooth is not your average postcard shop, its also not your average photo booth shop!  Think of us as a fusion of the best of both worlds created for people who don’t just want a souvenir,  they want a fun experience.   

Whether you’re stepping off a cruise ship for your first taste of Nova Scotia or you’re a local out enjoying the waterfront, our shop invites you to "put yourself in the picture".   Here, you don’t just browse postcards, you become part of them.  (Well, you can also browse postcards as we have an amazing collection of original cards that you won't find anywhere else!) 

Our photo booths, digital backdrops, and coastal‑themed props turn you into the star of your own Halifax moment, the kind you’ll want to print, share, mail, or tuck into a scrapbook.    

For travellers, we’re your first stop for a memory worth mailing home.

For locals, we’re your go‑to spot for creative fun, photo services, and coastal keepsakes.

For everyone, we’re a place where you don’t just take a photo you become part of the story.

From our sunny spot by the sea, we’re capturing Halifax one smile at a time.

"Wish you were here."
