Ashley and Adam's Photo Booth

AA-dance As I'm getting ready to post Ashley and Adam's wedding photos (probably will happen this Friday), I wanted to first share some images from their photo booth.  The reception was in the Spanish Suite of the Clift Hotel in San Francisco, and while it was a gorgeous space, there wasn't a whole lot of extra room for the booth.  We ended up using what is normally the coat closet so that the photo booth was about half the size that it usually is.  In this case, size didn't matter because Ashley and Adam and all of their guests still had an awesome time!  Apparently, mustaches on chopsticks are ageless because they have generational appeal (we're talking four year olds to grandpa ages)!  Ashley was pretty specific about her props (nothing cheesy!) so we had mustaches, whiteboards and a couple of empty gold frames from Etsy.  Check out their video below:

The Guppy Photo Booth!

Steph_Bill_PB_589My cousin Stephanie (left) got married last weekend in Fullerton, Calif., and although I wasn't able to take too many photos of the event since I was in the wedding, Adm and I did manage to set up a photo booth, which proved to be a blast!  My aunt made a special red crushed velvet back drop for the occasion, and it matched all of the sparkly props and dresses perfectly.  In the above photo, I'm in the center, flanked by my two cousins, Stephanie and Tammany, with whom I've always been close.  Stephanie and Bill, I love you guys and am so happy for you!

We put together a video using every single frame taken in the photo booth. Even though it's over seven minutes long, it's worth the download wait as it's VERY entertaining!

Photo Booth Awesomeness!

This past Saturday, we set up a photo booth for Leslie and Tim's wedding at The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco (more of the wedding to come later).  The reception was held at the Crown Room, which Leslie and Tim picked for its incredible views of the city.  We absolutely HAD to use the gorgeous downtown view as the backdrop for the photo booth even though we ran into some challenges trying to light such a large window during the day when the light was constantly changing.  Luckily, I had Adm and lighting expert Steve Kosko on hand to figure things out!  The guests got creative and funky, particular photographer friend Kevin Seifert (see below left) who came out from North Carolina for the affair!

Thea and Marc got married Saturday in Altadena, CA (more to come on that later).  We set up our first photobooth so this is something new that we're doing!  I love the natural wood backdrop that was in the backyard, and I've got lots of ideas for upcoming photobooths to make them even crazier.  I'm not going to say much because the pictures pretty much say it all.  Awesome.
