Hire for Style

It’s easy to obsess over wedding photography price points and packages, but do yourselves a favor and start your research process by nailing down a wedding photography style first. There are countless types to choose from — from the more traditional, clean, straight-on shots to creative angles and inventive backdrops (think: garage door with chipped paint) and knowing the aesthetic you’re after from the beginning will undoubtedly help you find a photographer you love for all the right reasons. Can’t find a photographer you like in your budget? Call one you love and ask them to recommend a less-experienced shooter (maybe one of their assistants) with a similar style. Continue reading »

The booth is back: Remember the old boardwalk photo booth? It’s now the hot thing at weddings and parties – pressofAtlanticCity.com.

Almost all the kids who lined up outside Gregg Taylor’s photo booth at their eighth-grade graduation dance said sure, they have cameras. Some have them in their cell phones, some have little digital models, some have both.

But that sure didn’t stop them from visiting the portable booth Taylor – aka the Photo Booth Dude, from Cape May Court House – set up on a recent Friday night in the cafeteria at the Eugene A. Tighe School.

When at a wedding, office party or bar mitzvah, sometimes you need to commemorate the occasion. You and your friends, co-workers or chosen people might want a memento of the awesomeness that was your social gathering. By gum, you need a photo! But where, oh where, is the blasted photographer? Off photographing something far less interesting than whatever it is you’re doing, that’s where! Or hitting on your cousin, accountant or rabbi.

Planning Basics: Easy Ways to Document Your Bridal Shower – By TheKnot.com.

There’s a good chance that if you’re having a bridal shower, you have some pretty fantastic friends. See to it that their plans are remembered with these five easy bridal shower photo and video ideas.

1. Create a “Now and Then” Photo Album

Ask each guest to bring their favorite photo of themselves with you to share with everyone. Then at the party, pose with each guest for a new photo. Put the photos side-by-side in a scrapbook album for all your friends and family to sign as a keepsake.

2. Make a Bridal Shower Photo Booth

Photo booths aren’t just for wedding receptions! Create a DIY photo booth with a cute backdrop (like a curtain of vintage fabric or a chalkboard) and a camera with a timer and encourage guests to have fun with it. Later you can include a copy of their photo booth shot in their thank-you note.

Say cheese! Photo booth rentals are the hottest party trend.

In the words of Ferris Bueller, it is so choice.  If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Ferris was talking about a Ferrari, but the sentiment applies equally well to a photo booth.  Photo booths are one of the hottest party trends out there, popping up everywhere from wedding receptions to galas and parties.  They serve as both entertainment and historian, serving up fun to guests while recording the event’s memorable moments.

There are dozens of companies that deal in photo booth rentals; you can find them by searching online or calling your local party supplier.  Two Boston companies at the head of the search engine results are Photobooth Favorsand Boston Photobooth.   Continue reading »

Hottest Wedding Trend in 2010? Photo Booths Become Popular as Wedding Favor Option.

With Spring right around the corner, several things are sure to follow in North Carolina: the start of baseball, plenty of showers, pollen season and weddings — a lot of weddings. In North Carolina, much like the rest of the country, wedding season begins in the Spring as many couples race to tie the knot before summer temperatures heat up and the vacation season gets into full swing.

A “new” trend that wedding-goers will see in 2010 will actually be a blast from the past — photo booths. But unlike the photo booths that some remember seeing at places such as arcades and carnivals, today’s photo booths use the latest technology to make wedding more fun, unique and memorable.

Fewer guests, lighting and photo booths are popular options among modern brides

One thing that doesn’t change during an economic downturn is love. It’s a consistent phenomenon regardless of the status of Wall Street, and it’s the driving force of the weddings industry.

What do change with the times are bridal budgets. Although they may be tight, love is still bringing couples to plan nuptials, albeit with a few less frills this year, according to local wedding industry vendors.
