The Photobooth : You Know You Want One At Your Wedding!

April 06, 2010

Rochester Photobooth - Buffalo Photobooth

It’s here for 2010 and it’s totally awesome. I know because we debuted it at Nick and Kristen’s wedding last year and people filled the booth the whole reception! I wanted to offer a fun reception activity at a low cost, that’s why the photobooth is only $500 for unlimited hours. Compare that to most full-scale photobooth rental fees starting at well over $1000 and it sounds like a sweet deal. Hey, couldn’t you use that extra cash for something better?

Why the photobooth rocks:

- It uses a digital SLR camera with a wide-angle lens and on-camera flash so photos are crystal clear, sharp and have great color. These aren’t fuzzy, black and white pics you often get with other booths because we’re using professional camera equipment.

- There isn’t a photographer clicking the camera and making you feel uncomfortable. Let’s be honest, many of your straight-laced relatives won’t let loose in front of a stranger, but they might linger into the booth when no one is watching…

-You get a DVD of all the images when the event is over to share with everyone at no additional cost! And we debut a slideshow of your wedding photobooth on our blog which is a huge hit with guests.

- Because the booth is fully automatic, guests can rock the booth as many times as they please and we’ll keep the booth running until we leave so no hourly limit!

- We supply props and a background so you can capture the photo you always wanted....grandma in a pink feather boa.

- The booth takes 4 photos at each sitting with instructions, while a slideshow of all the zany photos taken that night display on the opposite side of the booth. There’s often a line of guests just watching the slideshow!

- Because the booth is open, you can cram a million people into one pic. Ok, maybe slightly less than a million, but I’ve seen some interesting numbers!

I Think Mariah Likes Her Book ;)

March 29, 2010

Ooooo...another WeddingWire review! This one comes from Mariah, my spunky New Year’s bride:

Deanna is wonderful! I changed my wedding date by ....7 months and not only did I do it about two weeks before the new date - it was new years eve. And there she was happy to do be there. I show everyone my pictures and I have had two people book her already. (maybe I should get commission! =) jk) She also did my engagement pictures and my husband and I both have kids and we wanted to have them included yet still do pictures by ourselves. Then we ordered “The Book” .... I can not tell you how much it is worth doing that! Picture albums are really nice and all ... but nothing is as nice as this! It beautiful to leave out and take with you. I will be ordering the wedding book as soon as I have enough money saved. Yes the books are pricey… but you pay to have beautiful pictures taken and who knows how much on ONE day of your life… display it the way you cherish it! ok so anyways enough about the books. Deanna is amazing. Fun and fresh and really a joy to be around. If you want my opinion - you’d be crazy not to call her as soon as possible - dates won’t be open long!

Commission for referrals? Absolutely! I like to hook up any bride who spreads my name so look for an extra goody when you order your album. :-)

I thought I would share one of my favorite’s from Mariah’s day of her 2 minutes before the ceremony perfectly arranging her bouquet. This bouquet was special not only because it was beautiful and hand-made by herself, but included palm flowers her husband had brought back from one of this trips as a gift to her. It was so wonderful to see a bride incorporate something meaningful in her flowers and it was a romantic surprise to Jason as she walked down the aisle.

Talking about this photo with Mariah later, I was brokenhearted to hear that her bouquet had been swiped during her reception so these photos are even more precious and bring with them a great story to share.

Paul & Melinda’s Engagement Album at Letchworth State Park

March 09, 2010

Thought I would share a few of my favorite’s from Paul & Melinda’s engagement album they’ll be displaying as their wedding guestbook in June. Spring is just around the corner and these photos get me excited about walks in the park and flowers blooming!

It was almost 60° today so I dressed in the brightest white-pink-green combo I could find in my closest. Maybe a little too early for such a bold outfit, but I’m excited for the wedding season to start!

Engagement Album / Wedding Guestbook Design

February 24, 2010

I adore custom photo albums. Reviewing images after a photo shoot used to be my favorite activity, but that was before I received my first designed album. They are just so stunning in person! Mariah and Jason wanted to include their children in their engagement session so their book was filled with fun romping in the leaves but also a romantic walk around the village.

Whether an engagement album or a wedding guestbook, I design with simple lines and colors to enhance the photos and leave plenty of space for signatures if needed. Being the dimensions of the book are 8.5"x11", the pages contain big beautiful photos sometimes measuring 22” wide on full page spreads!

Engagement albums contain an average of 60 photos across 20 spreads with the option to select your favorite images. Look for an upcoming post showing photos of the finished product!

Kate: (02.25.10 - 1:13 am) Looks great! I really like pg. 5 -- an American Dream -- a House with a yard, American flag out front, and a family.

Deanna: (02.25.10 - 4:45 pm) That's so funny because I was thinking the same thing when I posted this. Could be the cover of a magazine!
